Golfers who visit Los Cabos in the summer months can expect well-conditioned courses, plenty of availability and deeply discounted green fees. Summer is family vacation time, but it’s also the season that invites golfers to take advantage of bargain rates on a bevy of world-class venues. Here are some of the best travel deals for golfers.
Don’t forget: You can get some of the best rates on airlines, hotels, rental cars and cruises by using LatinFlyer’s own travel booking engine (it’s at the top right-hand side of this page if you’re using a computer or tablet, or at the bottom of each page if you’re on a cell phone), where it says “Save Big on Your Trip.” With one click, you can compare airfares and rates from more than 10 top travel sites, including Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity. No more wasting time when you travel!
Palmilla Golf Club: This course, which reopened last April following a $3.5 million renovation, offers “dynamic pricing” that enables players to take advantage of adjusted rates based on demand, availability and other factors. The club offers discounted rates as low as $95 for an 18-hole round on the first Jack Nicklaus-designed course built in Los Cabos. For a deluxe vacation, the 27-hole facility’s golf packages feature accommodations at the luxurious One&Only Palmilla resort hotel.
