The Best Golf for Couples in Mexico

Mexico is built for the couples golf escape: oceanfront courses by the game's biggest names, all inclusive and luxury resorts a buggy ride from the first tee, and beaches, spas and long sunset dinners to fill the rest of the day. From Los Cabos to the Riviera Maya, here are the seven resorts we rate most highly for two, ranked.

How we chose them

A couples golf trip needs more than a great course. We looked for resorts where the golf is genuinely world class but the whole stay is romantic: oceanfront drama, a destination spa, dining and beaches worth a day off the fairways, and resort access that makes the logistics effortless. Most of these courses live inside the resort, so the stay and the golf are one seamless booking.

Every designer and opening year here was checked at the time of writing, and we note where access is reserved for resort and club guests. The verdicts and the order are ours, weighted toward setting, romance and the whole experience as much as the scorecard. If you want a Mexican golf and beach trip built and costed for a couple, that is exactly what our concierge does.

The ranking

01

Quivira Golf Club

Jack Nicklaus, 2014 · Los Cabos · Pacific clifftop, Pueblo Bonito resorts

The most spectacular resort course in Mexico and the easiest to fall in love with as a couple, a Jack Nicklaus design that rides the cliffs at the very tip of the Baja peninsula with the Pacific on three sides. Comfort stations stocked with refreshments, whale sightings in winter and sunsets over the ocean make a round here an event, and the all inclusive Pueblo Bonito resorts that own it wrap the golf in beaches, spas and dining. For drama and romance combined, nothing in the country beats it.

02

Punta Mita, Pacifico

Jack Nicklaus · Riviera Nayarit · Four Seasons and St. Regis

On a private peninsula north of Puerto Vallarta, Punta Mita pairs a Jack Nicklaus course with two of the finest resorts in Latin America, the Four Seasons and the St. Regis. The signature is the Tail of the Whale, an optional island green sitting in the Pacific reached by an amphibious cart, one of the most photographed holes in golf. Add jungle clad mountains, a gorgeous coastline and impeccable service and it is a honeymoon grade golf escape.

03

El Camaleon, Mayakoba

Greg Norman, 2006 · Riviera Maya · Rosewood and Fairmont

The jewel of the Riviera Maya and a longtime PGA Tour stop, Greg Norman's El Camaleon threads through mangroves, jungle and limestone canals, with a cenote in the middle of one fairway and the Caribbean at the finish. It sits inside Mayakoba, a gated enclave of luxury hotels reached by boat through the lagoons, where the Rosewood and Fairmont give a couple beach, spa and rainforest in one. The beach first partner will be as happy as the golfer.

04

Diamante, Dunes Course

Davis Love III, 2009 · Los Cabos · private resort community

Routinely rated the best course in Mexico, the Dunes at Diamante is a Davis Love III links laid across towering Pacific dunes near Cabo San Lucas, firm, fast and reminiscent of the great seaside courses with year round sun. It is a private residential resort, so access comes through a stay or a member, which keeps it exclusive and quiet. For a couple where one is a keen golfer chasing a genuinely top tier course, it is the bucket list round of the trip.

05

Cabo del Sol, Ocean Course

Jack Nicklaus · Los Cabos · Sea of Cortez resort

Jack Nicklaus called the closing holes here among the finest finishing stretches he has built, three holes hugging the Sea of Cortez that have made the Ocean Course a Cabo classic. Recently revamped and surrounded by smart resort hotels, it offers more visitor access than some of its neighbours, which makes it an easier course to slot into a couples trip. The mix of desert, ocean and a thrilling finish keeps it on every Los Cabos shortlist.

06

Twin Dolphin

Fred Couples and Todd Eckenrode, 2018 · Los Cabos · Sea of Cortez

A modern minimalist gem on the Tourist Corridor, Twin Dolphin is a Fred Couples and Todd Eckenrode design set on high terraced ground above the Sea of Cortez, all sweeping desert vistas, native vegetation and wide, strategic fairways. Reserved for residents and resort guests, it has the calm, uncrowded feel a couple wants, and the views from the elevated holes are some of the best in Cabo. Pair it with the beach and spa resorts on the corridor for a relaxed week.

07

Puerto Los Cabos

Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman · San Jose del Cabo · marina resort

A rare course with nines from two legends, Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman, Puerto Los Cabos rolls down to the Sea of Cortez beside the marina town of San Jose del Cabo, the calmer, more characterful end of the Cabo corridor. Free comfort stations, ocean views and the easy charm of San Jose's galleries and restaurants make it a relaxed, romantic base. It is the pick for a couple who want the golf without the buzz of Cabo San Lucas.

Mexico couples golf questions

What is the best golf resort for couples in Mexico?

Quivira in Los Cabos is widely rated the best golf resort for couples in Mexico, a Jack Nicklaus design on Pacific clifftops served by the all inclusive Pueblo Bonito resorts. Punta Mita on the Riviera Nayarit, with its Four Seasons and St. Regis hotels and the famous Tail of the Whale island green, runs it close.

Is Los Cabos or the Riviera Maya better for a couples golf trip?

Los Cabos has the greater concentration of world class oceanfront courses, with Quivira, Diamante, Cabo del Sol and Twin Dolphin within a short drive, plus desert and sea scenery. The Riviera Maya around Mayakoba offers lush jungle, cenotes and white sand beaches with the PGA Tour course El Camaleon at its heart. Cabo suits keen golfers, the Riviera Maya suits beach first couples.

When is the best time for a couples golf trip to Mexico?

November to April is the prime season in both Los Cabos and the Riviera Maya, with warm, dry, sunny weather. Los Cabos is dry desert most of the year, while the Riviera Maya is more humid and sees a rainy season from June to October. Shoulder months bring better value and quieter courses.

Can visitors play these Mexican resort courses?

Access varies. Several are resort courses where play is reserved for hotel and club guests, including Quivira, Diamante and Punta Mita, so the stay is the way on. El Camaleon and Cabo del Sol offer wider visitor access. Green fees are high season premium, so book ahead and confirm access and rates directly before travelling.
