Occupying a prime location within the Los Cabos corridor, Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club is a 1,200-acre private resort community with protected swimming beaches fronting a 2.5-mile stretch of coastline on the Sea of Cortes.

Its centerpiece is a Tom Fazio-designed golf course routed in desert foothills and characterized by graceful, flowing landforms intended to simulate rolling ocean waves.

Originally opened in 2013, the golf course was recently treated to several major enhancements, including a new landscaping scheme. Bougainvillea, oleander and other colorful ornamentals now frame the fairways. Formal bunkers are filled with bright white sand imported from the U.S.

The well-groomed course, interlaced by sandy arroyos, features an ocean view from every hole. Wide fairways and generously turfed areas create strategic options for good players while enhancing playability for average golfers.

Chileno Bay features back-to-back par 5’s at Nos. 6 and 7, as well as a pair of “driveable” short par 4,’s at Nos. 8 and 11. The back nine builds to a crescendo at the testing par-4 18th, which stretches to 512 yards from the tips and tumbles downhill to an infinity-edge green. The two comfort stations on the course, featuring top-of-the-line snacks and refreshments, are exceptional.
