Cabo Del Sol (Cove Club Golf Course)

Overview: Cabo Del Sol’s Cove Club Course is an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature design on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. The current club describes the course as a meeting of desert, mountain and sea, with four holes interacting directly with the rugged shoreline of the Sea of Cortez. The setting is the defining architectural material: cardón cactus, rocky coastal ground and elevated desert terrain frame a routing that continually changes the golfer’s view and sense of scale. It is a dramatic coastal course, but the appeal comes from how the holes use the land rather than from scenery alone.

History: The course opened in 1994 as the Ocean Course at Cabo del Sol and helped establish Los Cabos as an international golf destination. It was later renamed the Cove Club Course and underwent a phased renovation under Jack Nicklaus’s direction, including new holes, upgraded playing surfaces and revised bunkering. The current identity is therefore not a duplicate of an older Ocean Course record: it is the same 18-hole property in a substantially updated configuration. Because the present club material does not publish a settled post-renovation par or total yardage, the profile leaves both fields blank.

Did You Know? The current routing keeps the coastline in play on four holes, while the signature coastal moments are balanced by desert and mountain ground elsewhere on the property. The 18th follows the shoreline toward an oceanside green, giving the round a finish that returns to the same relationship with the sea that defines the opening description of the course. That contrast between exposed coast and inland desert is the reason Cabo del Sol feels larger than a conventional resort layout.
