Palmilla Golf Club, in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, features a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course and luxury accommodations by One&Only Resorts. One of the world’s top 100 golf destinations, it features towering cacti, deep arroyos and breathtaking views of the Sea of Cortez.
The Palmilla golf course features 27 holes in three groups of nine: the Arroyo Nine, the Mountain Nine and the Ocean Nine. Five sets of tee boxes make for enjoyable play by golfers of all levels of skill. The fairways are sometimes tight, sometimes generous, but always stunning, taking in four lakes and numerous deep shifts in elevation. The greens are undulating, fast and difficult to read. The course is typical Nicklaus and is sure to provide a memorable visit, especially so if played in concert with one or more of the other local championship courses.
