Club Campestre San Jose
Jack Nicklaus designed Club Campestre San Jose on the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna above San Jose del Cabo, and it opened in 2007 with long views down to the Sea of Cortez. A par 71 of about 6,966 yards, it is one of the Los Cabos corridor's most playable Nicklaus layouts, and unlike some of its neighbours it is open to daily fee and resort play.

The verdict
Jack Nicklaus routed Club Campestre San Jose across the lower slopes of the Sierra de la Laguna, climbing above San Jose del Cabo with the Sea of Cortez glittering below, and the course opened in 2007. A par 71 of about 6,966 yards, it uses the desert and mountain terrain for elevation and views, with the wide, strategic corridors and well defended greens that are the Nicklaus signature.
It sits within the Questro Golf family alongside Cabo Real, and crucially for visitors it is a daily fee course open to resort guests and the public, so a genuine Nicklaus design in Los Cabos is within reach. Conditioning is reliably good and the elevated holes give it a different feel from the oceanfront courses on the corridor. Green fees are highest in the prime winter season and fall in the summer heat.

The holes worth the trip
The elevation is the hook, holes that climb and fall across the foothills with the Sea of Cortez as a backdrop, and Nicklaus frames the tee shots so the bold line opens the best angle in. The greens are firm, contoured and well bunkered, asking for the right club and a confident stroke.
Desert scrub and arroyos edge several fairways, so accuracy matters, but the corridors are fair from a sensible tee. The downhill holes toward the sea are the ones you remember, big views and big tee shots.
Play the right markers and it is a thoroughly enjoyable resort round; stretch it back and it has plenty of teeth. Pair it with the oceanfront courses on the corridor for a varied Los Cabos golf trip.
