Overview
Cabo Real Golf Club, located 30 minutes from the international airport, was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. in 1994 as part of a major makeover to the 2,800-acre resort. The target-style course gives players the illusion that the sculpted fairways had always existed in the natural landscape. Cabo Real is known for elevated tees and greens that climb from the edge of the sea up to the feet of the mountains and show off meandering bunkers, wide landing zones and panoramic views of the ocean below. The course's nines were reversed several years ago—the front nine plays at base of the mountains across jagged terrain and features the breathtaking downhill par-4 fifth, which forces players to cross a steep arroyo before hitting an approach toward the sandy beaches in the background. The highlight of the second nine is the par-4 18th whose putting surface reveals expansive views of the sharp rock faces and undulating fairway that mimic the rolling mountains surrounding the course.
