Cabo Golf Properties: Where Championship Courses Meet Luxury Living
Ocean views, world-renowned course designers, and private club experiences — discover Cabo’s most coveted golf communities and the homes that bring this lifestyle to life.
Why Cabo is a Global Golf Destination
Few places in the world offer the combination of oceanfront golf, designer architecture, and year-round sunshine like Los Cabos. Over the past two decades, the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula has evolved into a global golf destination, drawing both casual players and championship-level talent.
With more than a dozen courses — including some designed by legends like Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Fred Couples, and Tiger Woods — Cabo delivers dramatic terrain, ocean breezes, and elevated play unlike anywhere else. But it’s not just about the game. Here, golf is a lifestyle woven into the fabric of high-end resort living, where tee times are optional, and dinner is often just steps from the 18th green.
Private vs. Public Golf in Cabo
Los Cabos offers a range of golf experiences, from ultra-private member clubs to high-end resort-accessible courses. Understanding the difference can shape where — and how — you buy.

Top Golf Communities in Cabo
Cove Club at Cabo Del Sol
An ultra-private enclave inside the historic Cabo Del Sol master plan, Cove Club is now a Discovery Land Company community featuring a redesigned Jack Nicklaus course and some of the most exclusive real estate in the region. No short-term rentals, no hotel traffic — just elevated living centered around golf, wellness, and family connection.
El Dorado Golf & Beach Club
A coastal sanctuary between Chileno and Palmilla, El Dorado is Discovery Land Company at its most refined. The Tom Fazio–designed course runs alongside the Sea of Cortez, with private beach coves, a full-service club, and zero public access. Properties are resale only and rarely come to market without insider access.
Maravilla / Twin Dolphins
Set on the hillside between Chileno and Santa Maria Bays, Maravilla offers access to the Fred Couples–designed Twin Dolphins Golf Club. Homes range from custom estates to branded villas, and the course is reserved for owners at Maravilla and Chileno Bay only. No tee times, full caddie services, and panoramic sea views elevate every round.
Chileno Bay
Modern beachfront living with a swimmable beach and sleek architecture, Chileno Bay offers access to Twin Dolphins Golf Club and Montage-level hospitality. It’s ideal for those who want golf access without sacrificing oceanfront vibrancy or resort amenities.
Four Seasons Costa Palmas
On the East Cape, Four Seasons Costa Palmas delivers barefoot elegance with golf, marina access, and swimmable beaches. The Robert Trent Jones II course winds through dunes and desert landscapes, offering a peaceful and private golf experience anchored by the Four Seasons brand.
Quivira Los Cabos
Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Quivira is home to a Jack Nicklaus Signature course with some of the most dramatic cliffside holes in Mexico. Residents of Copala, Coronado, and St. Regis enjoy access to this semi-private club, which blends tournament-level design with hospitality-forward service.
