One&Only Palmilla Golf Club - The Mountain/Ocean Golf Course
About
The One&Only Palmilla Golf Club boasts a 27-hole layout that is divided into three scenic nines: Mountain, Ocean, and Arroyo. Named after the defining features of their landscape, the nines are played in different 18-hole combinations. Jack Nicklaus designed all 27 holes, giving each a unique character but the same level of challenge. The Mountain/Ocean combination starts out with dramatic elevations. Expect some uneven lies and the occasional blind shot. The front nine offers a diverse mix of holes of varying lengths that all feature plenty of water and sand. The fifth hole is a memorable par 4 that plays over not one but two deep canyons to a green fronted by a deep bunker. On the back nine, the Ocean Course, golfers can enjoy a different view of the Sea of Cortez on every

The ocean nine might be the most scenic of the three loops at Palmilla. Photo submitted by JasonDeeganGA on 02/12/2014
Beautiful
The course at palmilla was fantastic, very well maintained with friendly staff . Challenging play which was refreshing. We thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend.
ONE OF MY FAVS
Challenging but not too hard of a course for the high handicapper. Most fairways are wide but should miss away from the many arroyos as tempting as it may be to have a closer layup. Most of the PAR 4s are short, so check the distance. Can overshoot easily like on the Arroyo #1 or Ocean #3(photo).. A lot of variety at Pamilla. The Mountain #1 starts out having to drive to the top of a mountain!
The staff at Palmilla are noticeably helpful and pleasant.. Practice range is set up nicely, the golf carts are new and the food is good! Definitely an overall favorite for me on the San Jose side!
Great staff!
Check in gal very friendly. Raul the starter great. Nice course and staff. Good job Palmilla!
Well maintained course
Played for the first time on 4/29/23 staff was very friendly and helpful. Was a single and was put with a three visiting from Tulsa. Played in 4 hours and the course was in good condition. Had a very enjoyable round!
Nice little course with great views
First time at Palmilla. Played Arroyo and Ocean courses (9 holes each). There are 27 holes at Palmilla, so I guess I´ll be back to play the other 9 I missed. Grass is pretty well kept. Course is a bit short playing out of blue marks, leaving nice approaches to reach GIRs.
Palmilla course review
This course was not in good condition, too much work partly done. Of course amenities were mediocre and we had no food or bar service at all on the back nine.
Not good value for the money
Palmilla golf review
All 4 of us were very disappointed in both the condition of this course as well as the course amenities.
We will not play there again.
Great Resort Course - Spendy
Fun Resort Course, but conditions were not acceptable for a $285 fee. High demand right now down in Cabo for snowbirds. Supply and demand likely. Driving range was terrible. Staff excellent. Greens were a bit above average. No after golf hangout to sip drafts and settle scores which we wanted. Food and beverage were not included. 3.5 stars on my end.
Nice course
My only complaint, and it’s a minor complaint, was that they could’ve offered to pair me up with another group. When I checked in, it took them 30 seconds to find my name, and then they said “Oh, there you are“. The starter at the range did offer to let me go off 20 minutes early, but I wasn’t done with my warm-up. When I did finally tee off, I was a single, and I was right behind a foursome. The foursome did let me play through on the second or third hole. Then, I did catch up to a twosome which I joined on about the 12th hole .
In my mind, when I was checking in, they should’ve said “Hey, looks like you’re a single. Would you like to start 20 minutes early and go with a twosome? Or would you like to keep your current time?” There was nobody behind me for one or two slots. So, they could’ve even offered to let me start 20 minutes later.
Overall, I would still give it five stars. Beautiful course in great condition. A bit spendy., But, every course in Cabo is spendy..
Bad experience
A couple, integrated by one of the Marshalls of the course, thought we were playing slow, not realizing that the pace in general was slow, so, without asking, decided to pass us, which slowed down the game even more.
The snack cart never came by during the 18 holes.
It is a very expensive course for the cart not to have a screen.
Solid
Beautiful course, oils have had more beverage carts, Ocean Course was better that Arroya. Club house small but great staff!!
