Golf in Los Cabos 2026: Where Desert Meets Ocean Meets Fairway
Los Cabos has spent two decades becoming one of the great golf destinations of the Americas: two dozen courses threaded between desert arroyos and the Sea of Cortez, with names like Nicklaus, Norman, Dye, and Fazio on the scorecards. In 2026, the list grows again.
The marquee rounds
- Quivira — the famous one: clifftop holes hanging over the Pacific, comfort stations that could be restaurants; frequently ranked among the world's most scenic courses
- Palmilla — the region's original Nicklaus design: mountain, arroyo, and ocean nines
- Cabo del Sol (Cove Club) — Nicklaus' 'best golf hole in the world' claims live here along the water
- Diamante Dunes — a true dunes-links experience on the Pacific side, regularly in world-top-100 lists
- Puerto Los Cabos — Nicklaus and Norman share the 27 holes; forgiving fairways, big views
New for 2026: Oleada Golf Links
The year's headline is Oleada Golf Links, a 7,336-yard links-style course designed by Ernie Els, scheduled to open in November 2026 — positioned as the most significant new opening in the region in years. Pair it with the World Wide Technology Championship (November 2–8, 2026), celebrating 20 years of PGA TOUR golf in Los Cabos, and early November becomes the golf week of the year.
