Cabo's golf scene is world-class, with courses by every major designer set against dramatic desert-meets-ocean landscapes. The key is picking a resort with easy access to the courses you want to play.

Quivira Golf Club (near Chileno Bay and Pueblo Bonito Pacifica) is the most photographed course in Mexico — holes carved into 300-foot cliffs above the Pacific. It regularly ranks among the top 100 courses worldwide. Green fees: $350-450.

Diamante (near Waldorf Astoria Pedregal) features two championship courses — the Dunes Course by Davis Love III and El Cardonal by Tiger Woods. The Tiger Woods course is a must-play, with creative routing through natural dunes. Green fees: $300-395.

Palmilla Golf Club (near One&Only Palmilla) is the original Cabo course, designed by Jack Nicklaus with 27 holes offering three distinct nine-hole loops. Mountain, Ocean, and Arroyo courses each have their own character.

Puerto Los Cabos Golf Club (near JW Marriott and Secrets) has two courses — a Jack Nicklaus signature and a Greg Norman design. The Norman course's back nine along the Sea of Cortez is spectacular.

Cabo Real Golf Club (near Hilton Los Cabos) designed by Robert Trent Jones II is the best value championship course in the area at $180-250/round.

Most luxury resorts offer golf concierge services and can arrange tee times, transportation, and club rentals at preferred rates.
