RANCHO SAN LUCAS

4.5/5

The centerpiece of an 834-acre resort and residential community on the Pacific Ocean 15 minutes from Cabo San Lucas, the Greg Norman Signature course at Rancho San Lucas, opened in 2020, offers sweeping ocean views from every hole. Known for his ‘least-disturbance’ design approach, Norman built a low-profile layout, with the site’s existing contours left intact.

Spanning three different ecosystems, the golf course rambles through huge windswept dunes at the start, climbs through a thick cactus forest creased by meandering arroyos in the middle of the round, and returns players to the beach and sea on the back nine.

Norman integrated indigenous grass varietals that use the least amount of water, creating an eco-friendly golf experience that flows naturally with the dune and desert landscape.

Featuring a dramatic 300-foot elevation change, the well-strategized course has a handful of links-style holes on the beach, notably the par-3 third, which parallels the sea and gives players fine views of breaching whales during the winter months. There’s also a signature island green at the par-3 17th hole.

The layout’s defining characteristic is its revetted pot bunkers. These sharp-edged, steep-walled sandy pits were constructed from recycled artificial turf and are nearly identical to the natural sod-walled bunkers found on British links courses.

With two on-course comfort stations, each providing Mexican specialties and refreshments, players enjoy an all-inclusive experience during the round. A ranchero-style clubhouse overlooks the fairways and sea. The practice facility features a basin-shaped driving range, 18-hole putting course, and dedicated chipping, pitching and sand play areas.
