Palmilla Golf Club: three nine-hole layouts
Palmilla Golf Club is in the San José del Cabo area of Los Cabos. Its Jack Nicklaus-designed golf setting combines desert terrain, elevation changes and coastal views. The Ocean, Mountain and Arroyo nines provide different playing combinations.
Choose your round
The club describes 27 holes, but the available 18-hole combination can depend on maintenance and operating arrangements. Ask which nines are open for your date rather than assuming every layout is available together.
Select appropriate tees and discuss the pace and difficulty with the golf team. A scenic course is not automatically easy for every beginner, and a visitor’s experience depends on conditions and ability.
Before booking a tee time
- Confirm the date, time and actual course combination.
- Check the full price and what it includes.
- Ask about rental clubs, carts, practice facilities and any dress requirements.
- Confirm cancellation, weather and maintenance arrangements.
- Allow for transport from your accommodation.
The Palmilla Golf Club website provides current booking and course information. An old maintenance schedule should not be used as the calendar for a new travel year.
Make the day workable
Bring appropriate sun protection and follow the club’s guidance on water and course etiquette. Confirm arrangements for a non-playing companion rather than assuming access is included.
Book the round that suits your group and leave room for the journey. Palmilla is a golf outing in the wider Los Cabos destination, not a downtown Cabo San Lucas walk-up activity.
