One&Only Palmilla Golf Club - The Arroyo/Mountain Golf Course

First Time To "The One & Only"
They only offered 9 holes on their "Ocean" course, which is all i had time for anyway.
The staff is incredibly attentive.
Driving range was nice with new balls.
The practice green was horrible with three different strains of grass growing on it. Hummm, i hoped it was not a sign of what was to come. The course winds its way down across the highway and to the ocean, Incredible views so you just take it in and ask yourself how lucky can one be. Right?
Hardly anyone on the course so pace of play was non issue, after four holes the "cantina" had many options for drinks & food all included with green fees. The only real negative was the condition of the course, it was playable and greens held shots, but this is a "Troon" managed gold facility. Dana cant still be running the company, can he? nevertheless, i've worked in many aspects of the business, including on the course. I know what i am looking at, and when you see water in the bunkers at 2:00 in the afternoon and cups that have been changed by a six year old and then not for 4 or 5 days, you kind wonder what the members think. I think they should have a meeting with Troon NOW! and demand better. IMO

While I’ve golfed at many high end courses before, Palmilla GC was far and away the best experience I’ve had to date. The service, flexibility and attention to details was more than one would get at the best private club around. The three 9’s format allows for a multi day experience with very different layouts. I’ll be back again someday soon

Still building the club house and 18 fairway was having work done 10/30/24. Other then that it is a great course and fairways are like hitting off velvet. Food and drinks are included. Pro shop is pricey...if in Cabo area highly reccommend this course.

Dispite the storm damage which the course was actively working on, loved this challenging course. I would like to return to play all three 9 holes again as I now know some of the :"tricks.:

Went out 1/2 hour before my tee time at noon. Had the courses absolutely to myself. Saw only 6 other golfers throughout my 18 holes. The comfort station on Arroyos was a wonderful addition. I know it’s still off season but the place was eerily quiet and peaceful. Thoroughly enjoyed my day

Course was great, but the greens were not good.
Probably the time of year. Overall 8/10

We played this course yesterday and before that 6 years prior. The course is beautiful and has done challenging holes, especially on the Arroyo Mountain course! Hole 3 on the Ocean course is probably my favorite all time hole for its beauty! Palmilla has added wonderful comfort stations since we were here last and the staff is alway friendly and accommodating!

I had never played golf in Cabo so Palmilla was my first round. Great experience! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, practice range was included as was two comfort stations where you could get anything you want to eat or drink. Course was difficult for me but fun and in great shape. Will definitely be back on my next trip to Cabo. $133 on the GN app.

Palmilla is an amazing golf experience. The staff are amazing. Javier remembers me even though I only visit the area once a year, but I make sure I play 3-4 times while visiting. The course is impeccable even after ma major storm event. I am already looking forward to my next visit

A new Clubhouse is under construction and your introduction to the course is dusty and a bit chaotic.

The greens were very slow and patchy with some burnt areas and crabgrass growing in.

Traps were very stony and not consistent.

The overall impression of the course is that it is a bit tired and had its best days several years ago. A refresh is NEEDED!

On the bright side, the two stations for refreshment and food on course were exceptional and the views of the ocean on the course are majestic. Employees were generally friendly, and and helpful✔️

The course was well maintained and pace of play was excellent.
The staff were super friendly and helpful.
Played Oceon/Mountain. It was off season so it was easy to get a booking a day before we played.
It was one of the better courses we played during our trip.

The majority of the greens had bare spots and the fairways were brown. For a course with this reputation, hot good.

I’ve been traveling to Cabo since the early 2000’s and knew Palmilla was one of the top or top golf venues. I was excited to play it. I understand they are building a new club house and the check in area is a bit confused. The golf course staff I had interaction with was less than friendly none went out of their way to help, unlike other courses I played this week. The practice area tees were either crabgrass ridden or sparsely grassed. The practice green also had crabgrass. The golf courses I played were Arroyo and Mountain as Ocean was closed. The fairways were mostly brown and most of the greens had varying degrees of barren spots. I cannot in good conscience recommend this golf course currently as there are many others in much better condition for the same price point.

Played mountain and arroyo. Both interesting, but mountain course is beautiful. Even the greens. The mountain round has perfect greens. Arroyo’s round still has various greens in recovery.

Definitely will play it again soon.
