The Palmilla Golf Course was Jack Nicklaus’ first Latin America design and is known as the Grand Dame of golf in Los Cabos. This beautiful, challenging course has ocean views from every hole. The Ocean Course actually flows to the ocean as you play along the beaches of the Sea of Cortez.

Palmilla offers 27-holes and is perched on deep canyon arroyos with century old cardon cacti. Palmilla is a great resort course that challenges even the most experienced of players. The expert staff help provide for your every need. With its skillful design, excellent management and idyllic locale, Palmilla Golf Course is recognized as one of top four courses in Mexico, and one of the finest in the world.

Palmilla is divided into the 3,337-yard Arroyo Nine, the 3,602-yard Mountain Nine, and the 3,548-yard Ocean Nine. The five sets of staggered tee boxes offer an exciting game for golfers of every level.

One of our favorite road trips when friends come to visit us is going to Todos Santos.  Named “Pueblo Magico” in 2006, Todos Santos is a small coastal town at the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains on the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur.  It is about a 45 minute drive along a winding 2 lane highway through the desert and along the coast with a number of places to stop and enjoy the Pacific Ocean.  Todos Santos is near the Tropic of Cancer and about an hour south of La Paz, the capital city of Baja California Sur.

Todos Santos thrived as the Baja sugarcane capital during the 19^th century.  Now the rich farmlands have been cultivated and the town prospers from an abundance of avocado, vegetable and chili farming, papaya and mango orchards, fishing and ranching.

Nuestra Señora del Pilar de La Paz is a mission that was founded in 1723 by father Jaime Bravo.  The mission contains the statue of the Virgin of Pilar, which is a focus of the town’s main festival in October.

The area offers a number of beautiful beaches.  Playa Las Palmas and Playa Los Cerritos are great for swimming and shell collecting.  Cerritos draws surfers from all over the world.

In town there are a number of art galleries, Mexican craft shops, restaurants, boutique hotels and restored colonial buildings.  Todos Santos is a great day trip from Cabo or if you prefer to spend more time we can help you with accommodations.
