Cabo Real Golf Club features one of Robert Trent Jones finest works. Home to two Senior Slams, the 7,037 yard Cabo Real Golf Course offers stunning ocean views and what many claim to be the toughest front nine of golf in Los Cabos. With three spectacular ocean-side holes, Cabo Real is a visual golf experience that you shouldn’t miss: it was in 1996, during the Senior Slam golf tournament, when whales just off-shore put on a spectacular show for tournament spectators. Cabo Real has long been considered a favorite by many pros. Cabo Real is a must play when you visit.

The newest course at Cabo Real is El Dorado, the third Jack Nicklaus design on the peninsula. More than 7,000 yards of desert landscape, canyons and arroyos, El Dorado is Cabo Real's most scenic golf course and Nicklaus has placed his stamp on every yard of it. El Dorado features dramatic dog-leg fairways, strategically-placed bunkers, water hazards and six spectacular ocean-front holes - the course makes two passes along the coastline taking three holes on each pass. Completed in 1999, El Dorado quickly became the most popular course at Cabo Real. The Clubhouse and Restaurant have spectacular views of the Sea of Cortez and of the 9th and 18th holes. El Dorado also has the only oceanfront driving range and club house in Los Cabos.
