Chileno Bay Golf & Ocean Club

Overview: Chileno Bay Golf & Ocean Club is an 18-hole private course on the Cabo coast, designed by Tom Fazio for a landscape where the Sea of Cortez meets the Baja desert. The club’s current description presents the course as part of a wider oceanfront lifestyle, but the golf identity is clear: a full championship layout shaped by coast, desert and the transition between them. The setting gives the course a strong sense of openness, while Fazio’s involvement points to a design that uses the site’s natural changes rather than hiding them behind dense resort planting. Current technical totals are not published consistently, so par and yardage remain blank.

History: Chileno Bay was developed as a private Golf and Beach Club rather than a conventional public tee-time resort. The current operator continues to describe the property as a Tom Fazio 18-hole course and places golf alongside the beach club and outdoor experiences that define the community. A secondary architecture reference dates the build to 2014, but the current club does not confirm that as an opening year, so the profile leaves the date null. This preserves the course’s exact identity without presenting a construction or development date as a verified opening fact.

Did You Know? Chileno Bay’s visual identity is built around a distinct environmental transition: the club describes ocean waves leading inland to a swirling desert expanse. That is more than a marketing image for the golf course, because it explains the contrast a golfer experiences between coastal exposure and the warmer, more enclosed desert ground farther inland. Tom Fazio’s 18-hole routing is therefore best understood as a course of changing landscape zones, with the sea and desert acting as its two constant reference points.
