Reccomendations?

hi all,

hoping to get some feedback on some of the courses in cabo. i'm going on a spring break trip in march and don't want to spend 4 days just sitting around some house. i would really appreciate some feedback on the courses around there. i'm on a bit of a budget so im looking for a lot of bang for the buck. thanks!

Both Cabo-Del Sol courses are amazing but neither is cheap (not sure if renting) but cost from a few years back was around $275 with rentals.

March is still high season in Cabo, so it's going to be fairly expensive wherever you go; then it depends on what time you want to play. Cabo del Sol is the best of the publicly available, but it's expensive ($350 or so for the Ocean course). Palmilla is okay, but not much near the water for that kind of money. Cabo Real is relatively good value. I heard Club Campestre is a newish Nicklaus design on the other side of the Hotel Corridor in San Jose del Cabo that is much better than Cabo del Sol CC.

If you're on a budget, Cabo isn't the best place to play golf. Might be worth trying to negotiate with the pro shops as I've heard the resorts are generally hurting nowadays. If you only play once- def save up and get on the Ocean course- some of the coolest finishing holes in the world.

Cabo and affordable dont go in the same sentence.
I played Campestre and there were 7 tee times taken for the day. Played 36 holes as was back to the resort before 1pm. It was fun and in great shape. Cabo Real is a fair drive from there, but a nice course. GPS would have been helpful to know distances to washes.
The others are quite expensive, 250-300 a round. Or you can submit yourself to a timeshare sales pitch and get a free round.
Beware, they are good at what they do. Could be the most expensive free round of your life.

I just played Cabo Real on Christmas and it's really nice. Great condition and great views. Middle of the road price wise. I would also look at Puerto los Cabos, maybe. Call the toll free number for Cabo Real (look on their website) and if you call and book through them they'll cut you some good deals on playing multiple times or at multiple courses they own. If you only want a single round, I booked Cabo Real through ezlinks.com and saved like $60 per person. It's awesome down there. Let me know if I can help any more.

-Cabo San Lucas CC: cheapest option, not that great; honestly better playing once at any of the other courses than twice here
-Campestre: nice course, pretty reasonable if you do twilight, but expensive cab ride / far drive from downtown
-Puerto Los Cabos: my new favorite other than ocean course; usually you can get a twilight discount and it includes drinks
-Palmilla: so-so; nice layout, but I always leave underwhelmed
-Cabo Real: really fun layout, good views, only 2 ocean holes
-El Dorado: private now so hard to get a tee time. IMO they killed the best holes when they put the houses in
-Diamante: it's spectacular, but it's really expensive and since they made it private you have to go through the sales tour, which sucks
-Cabo Del Sol Desert: kinda goofy layout, but usually in good shape and sometimes you can get a good twilight rate
-Cabo Del Sol Ocean: awesome, but $350
-Querencia: private, hard to get a tee time and wish there were more ocean views for the price

Note: Cabo Real, Campestre, and Puerto Los Cabos have the same owner- sometimes you can get a discount if you play more than one of their courses (someone may have mentioned earlier).

I enjoyed Palmilla and I got on at twilight for 55 bucks, I went last June, if you want a cheap okay course there's the Mayan that's a 9 hole for like 30 bucks
