Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club
Commanding a choice location within the Los Cabos corridor, Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club is a 1,200-acre private resort community with protected beaches fronting a 2.5-mile stretch of coastline on the Sea of Cortes. Its showpiece is a magnificent Tom Fazio-designed golf course routed in desert foothills high above the Sea of Cortes. Graceful, flowing landforms intended to simulate rolling ocean waves characterize the design.
Interlaced by sandy arroyos and framed throughout by colorful ornamentals, Chileno Bay presents an ocean view from every hole. Formal bunkers are filled with bright white sand imported from the U.S., with native tawny sand outlining the fairways. 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.
Guests of Chileno Bay Resort & Residences, a 92-key beachfront hotel and villa resort managed by Auberge Resorts Collection, have exclusive access to the otherwise-private golf club.
Course Highlights
- The club 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.
- Chileno Bay is one of the best-manicured layouts in Los Cabos
- Tiki-style bar stools at the back nine comfort station were salvaged from the former Hotel Cabo San Lucas, a Hollywood jet-set getaway in the 1960’s.

Marek's Comments
“Tom Fazio at his best: a beautifully detailed course with great pace and variety. Also one of the best-groomed courses in Los Cabos.”
