5 Day Los Cabos Golf Itinerary
Five days on the most dramatic resort golf coast in the Americas, where the Baja desert tumbles into the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific. This route runs the corridor from San Jose del Cabo to Cabo San Lucas, gathering the Robert Trent Jones Jr and Greg Norman layouts of the east end before finishing on the two ocean showpieces, Jack Nicklaus's Quivira and Davis Love III's Dunes Course at Diamante. Here is the week, with indicative 2026 green fees and the access notes that matter.

Who this trip suits
This is Los Cabos at full tilt, built for the golfer who wants spectacular, modern desert and ocean golf wrapped in a five star beach resort week, with short transfers and warm, reliable winter sun. The courses sit in a neat ribbon along the corridor, so you set up in one base and play a different signature layout each day, finishing on two of the most photographed closing stretches in golf. It suits a buddies trip, a couple or a special occasion group where the golf shares the week with the pool, the marina and the seafood of San Jose and Cabo San Lucas.
The two decisions that shape the week are access and season. Quivira is reserved for guests of the Pueblo Bonito resorts and the Dunes Course at Diamante is largely private, opened to those staying at Diamante, so let those two marquee rounds steer your hotel choice and book them early. Aim for the November to May high season for the best weather, or the shoulder months for sharper value. Get those right and the rest of the corridor falls into place.
The 5 day plan
Cabo Real Golf Club
Ease into the corridor on Robert Trent Jones Jr's Cabo Real, a target style layout that climbs from the Sea of Cortez into the foothills, with the holes near the turn delivering long views down to the water. It is a fair, scenic opener that rewards a thoughtful tee shot rather than brute length, and a gentle way to find your range in the desert air. Indicative 2026 green fees run from around 140 to 240 US dollars depending on season and tee time. Set in the heart of the corridor, minutes from the corridor hotels.
Puerto Los Cabos Golf Club
A genuine two architect treat above San Jose del Cabo, where you combine a Greg Norman nine with a Jack Nicklaus nine for a full par 72 of around 7,350 yards from the tips. The routing runs from the arroyos and cactus of the high ground down to the ocean, with on course comfort stations a Cabo trademark. It is one of the most enjoyable and accessible premium rounds on the coast. Indicative 2026 high season green fees sit in the corridor's mid to upper range; confirm the current rate when you book. About fifteen minutes from a San Jose base.
Club Campestre San Jose
A Nicklaus Design layout set back in the rolling foothills above San Jose, with paspalum fairways, generous landing areas and long sightlines back over the town to the Sea of Cortez. It plays a touch more forgiving than the ocean courses, a fine middle day of the trip, and the elevation gives every approach a backdrop. Indicative 2026 green fees are around 140 US dollars in peak season, with a lower twilight rate. About ten minutes from San Jose and fifteen from the airport, an easy, scenic round.
Quivira Golf Club
The first of the two showpieces and, for many, the most spectacular round in Mexico. Jack Nicklaus called the Quivira site the most dramatic property he had ever worked with, and the par 72 of roughly 7,085 yards clings to clifftops, beaches and dunes at the very tip of the Baja peninsula where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez. Comfort stations stocked with food and drink punctuate the climbs between holes. Access is for guests of the Pueblo Bonito resorts, so stay there for this round. Indicative 2026 prime time green fees are around 320 to 380 US dollars; book early.
Diamante, The Dunes Course
Close the week on the course many rate the finest in the country, Davis Love III's Dunes Course at Diamante, opened in 2009 and named the number one course in Mexico by Golf Digest and ranked inside Golf Magazine's world top 100. Laid out beachfront among towering Pacific dunes, it is a links inspired sweep of firm turf, blowout bunkers and ocean horizon, a fitting finale. The Dunes is largely private, with play arranged for those staying at Diamante, so plan this round well ahead. A marquee finish about twenty minutes north of Cabo San Lucas.

When to go and where to stay
Play the trip from November to May for warm, dry days in the mid twenties Celsius with low humidity, the peak season and the busiest, priciest window. October and June are warm shoulder months with better value, while high summer from July to September is hot and humid with an outside chance of a tropical storm, but rates fall and early tee times are pleasant. Base yourself along the corridor between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, where the resorts and most of the courses sit within a thirty minute drive and the international airport is about twenty minutes from San Jose. Let Quivira and the Dunes Course shape the hotel choice, a Pueblo Bonito stay for one and a Diamante stay for the other, and a hire car or arranged transfers make the corridor hops simple.

Los Cabos itinerary questions
What is the best 5 day golf itinerary in Los Cabos?
A clean five day route runs east to west along the tourist corridor from San Jose del Cabo to Cabo San Lucas. Open on Robert Trent Jones Jr's Cabo Real, then play the Greg Norman and Jack Nicklaus nines at Puerto Los Cabos and the Nicklaus Design layout at Club Campestre, before finishing on the two ocean showpieces, Jack Nicklaus's Quivira and Davis Love III's Dunes Course at Diamante. Quivira and Diamante are tied to specific resorts, so plan access early and always confirm current tee times and fees directly before booking.
How much are green fees in Los Cabos?
Los Cabos is a premium golf market. In the high winter season, indicative 2026 green fees run from around 140 US dollars at Cabo Real and Club Campestre up to roughly 380 US dollars for a prime tee time at Quivira, with most corridor rounds landing between those figures. Summer rates fall sharply. Diamante's Dunes Course is largely private, with access through Diamante resort stays, so its fee is arranged rather than walk up. These are indicative figures, so always confirm current fees directly before booking.
When is the best time for a Los Cabos golf trip?
The peak golf season runs from November to May, when days are warm and dry in the mid twenties Celsius and humidity is low, which is also the busy, pricier window. The shoulder months of October and June are warm and better value. High summer, July to September, is hot and humid with a small chance of tropical storms, but rates fall and early tee times are pleasant. Always confirm current seasonal rates and availability directly before booking.
Where should you stay for a Los Cabos golf trip?
Base yourself along the tourist corridor between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, where the resorts and most of the courses sit within a thirty minute drive of one another and the international airport is about twenty minutes from San Jose.
