Local Tip

Always ask about 'twilight' rates if you're flexible with your tee time. Starting later in the afternoon can significantly reduce your green fees, and you'll often get to enjoy a stunning Cabo sunset as you finish your round!

Best Time to Go

The ideal golf season in Cabo runs from November through April, offering perfect dry weather and comfortable temperatures. However, booking well in advance is crucial during these peak months. Summer (June-September) brings hotter, more humid conditions, but also fewer crowds and potentially lower green fees, making it a great option for heat-tolerant golfers.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to golf in Cabo San Lucas?
The peak season for golf in Cabo is typically from November to April, when the weather is consistently dry and temperatures range from 75-85°F. This period offers ideal playing conditions, though tee times can be more competitive and green fees might be at their highest. Summer months (June-September) are hotter and more humid but can offer lower rates and fewer crowds.
Do I need to book tee times in advance for Cabo golf courses?
Yes, absolutely. Especially for the most popular and exclusive courses like Diamante, Quivira, and Palmilla, it is highly recommended to book your tee times several weeks, or even months, in advance, particularly during peak season. Our luxury concierge team can assist you with securing preferred tee times and navigating any resort-specific access requirements.
Are caddies mandatory or available at Cabo golf courses?
While not strictly mandatory at all courses, caddies are highly recommended and often available at Cabo's premier golf clubs. They provide invaluable local knowledge, help with course navigation, and enhance your overall golfing experience. Some courses, like Diamante, include a forecaddie as part of the green fee or offer them as an optional service. Be sure to inquire when booking.
Can I rent golf clubs in Cabo San Lucas?
Yes, all of the featured luxury golf courses in Cabo San Lucas offer high-quality, current model golf club rentals (typically Titleist, Callaway, TaylorMade, etc.) for both men and women, right-handed and left-handed. Renting clubs is a convenient option if you don't wish to travel with your own. Rental fees usually range from $70 to $100+ USD per set.
Are there any public golf courses in Cabo for more affordable play?
While Cabo is known for its luxury courses, Club Campestre San Jose is a fantastic Jack Nicklaus-designed course that offers excellent value and is more accessible to the public than some of the resort-exclusive options. For even more budget-friendly options, there are smaller, less manicured courses further inland, but they don't offer the same world-class experience as the coastal championship courses.
