Real del Mar Golf Resort

Real del Mar sits along the Pacific coastline south of Tijuana in the resort community of Playas de Rosarito, approximately twenty miles from the United States border. Designed by Mexican architect Pedro Guereca Gurrola and opened in the early 1990s, the course occupies rolling terrain that transitions from coastal bluffs to inland valleys, offering views of the ocean from several holes while the routing moves through natural arroyos and across hillsides characteristic of the northern Baja California landscape. The layout takes advantage of the property's elevation changes and coastal setting, with holes playing along ridgelines and down into protected corridors where native vegetation frames the fairways. The Pacific influence brings marine air and afternoon breezes that affect club selection and strategy, particularly on holes closer to the water. The course serves as the centerpiece of a resort development that has attracted golfers from both sides of the border, benefiting from its proximity to Southern California while offering the distinct character of Baja's coastal environment. Real del Mar has hosted professional events on Latin American tours and remains part of the golf infrastructure in the Tijuana-Ensenada corridor, a region that has seen various golf development over the decades. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities typical of resort courses in the region, catering to both visiting golfers and local membership drawn from the binational community along this stretch of the Baja coast.
