Rancho San Lucas Golf Course

Although only recently opened (February 2020) as the centerpiece of an 834-acre resort and residential community, and shuttered for two months during COVID-19 quarantine conditions, the Greg Norman designed RSL course has already garnered plaudits aplenty, including an Editor's Choice award from Golf Digest. Set along the Pacific Coast north of Cabo San Lucas, the 7,210-yard layout winds from desert arroyos to windswept dunes, and features Open Championship style bunkers as well as five holes bordering the breathtaking Pacific (all 18 have ocean views). The most memorable backdrops, however, may be those at the 161-yard 17th, a par-3 that features an island green reminiscent of TPC Sawgrass. Comfort food stations provide food and drink refreshments throughout the round.
