Cabo del Sol Desert Course

Don't let the encouragingly wide fairways and expansive greens fool you: this inland layout, which opened in 2001, provides a challenging test for players of all skill levels. Weiskopf's design takes skillful advantage of the existing terrain, snaking scenically through canyons, washes and arroyos without ever straying too far from magnificent ocean vistas. Water is a course factor on several holes due to man-made lakes and waterfalls, and players will also have to overcome uneven stances from elevation changes and abundant bunkering to post a low score. The rewards for these challenges are stunning views of the Sea of Cortés from seemingly every hole.
