We at The Cabo Sun<\/a> have been tracking Cabo\u2019s rise as a serious golf powerhouse for years, but this trophy is a big deal even by local standards. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s what the award means, what makes Solmar special, and how to actually plan a round there on your next trip.<\/p>\n A World Golf Awards win that puts Cabo on top<\/p>\n The World Golf Awards are one of the most respected recognitions in the sport, with winners chosen through an open vote involving industry pros, specialized media, and everyday golfers around the world.<\/p>\n In the 12th edition of the awards, Solmar Golf Links walked away with the title of Latin America\u2019s Best Golf Course 2025, officially putting a Cabo course at the top of the entire region.<\/p>\n For travelers, that means two things:<\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to fly all the way to Scotland or Hawaii for a bucket-list round.<\/p>\n Cabo\u2019s already hot golf scene (with over 20 courses and more on the way) just added another headline brag.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve read our recent breakdown of how Los Cabos is trending as one of Mexico\u2019s ultimate winter escapes for 2025<\/a>, you know high-end experiences like this are a big part of why the destination keeps smashing records.<\/p>\n What makes Solmar Golf Links so special?<\/p>\n A few fast facts regarding the course:<\/p>\n Designer: Greg Norman, one of golf\u2019s most famous names, brought his \u201cleast disturbance\u201d philosophy here \u2014 shaping the 18 holes around existing dunes, arroyos, and desert terrain instead of bulldozing everything flat.<\/p>\n Setting: The course stretches across an 834-acre coastal community about 10\u201315 minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas, with Pacific views on virtually every hole.<\/p>\n Yardage: Around 7,200 yards from the back tees, giving better players plenty of bite while still offering playable options from forward tees.<\/p>\n Solmar isn\u2019t just pretty \u2014 it\u2019s also one of Cabo\u2019s greenest golf stories. It was the first course in Los Cabos to earn Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary status, a recognition held by fewer than 1,000 courses worldwide.<\/p>\n That certification reflects things like:<\/p>\n smarter water use<\/p>\n preserved native habitat<\/p>\n wildlife-friendly landscaping<\/p>\n If you loved our feature on Los Cabos hotels proving sustainability doesn\u2019t mean you lose out on luxury<\/a>, this is the same idea translated into a full-scale championship course.<\/p>\n Design-wise, a few details golfers geek out over:<\/p>\n an island green on the 17th that\u2019s become one of the most photographed shots in the region<\/p>\n revetted pot bunkers built with recycled artificial turf<\/p>\n salt-tolerant Paspalum grass that stays green even in Cabo\u2019s salty, windy environment<\/p>\n And in winter, you might literally see humpback whales breaching from holes 2 and 12, which is about as \u201conly in Cabo\u201d as it gets.<\/p>\n Where it is and how to actually play it<\/p>\n Solmar Golf Links<\/a> sits just up the Pacific coast from the Cabo San Lucas marina, right next to Grand Solmar Pacific Dunes Resort Golf & Spa.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re staying at that resort, you\u2019ll have easy access to tee times and stay-and-play packages. We\u2019ve already covered the property\u2019s expansion and rebrand in our story on how this popular Los Cabos resort announced rebranding and exciting expansion<\/a>, and this award is only going to make those rooms more in demand.<\/p>\n The good news: you don\u2019t have to be a scratch golfer or a resort guest to enjoy the course. In our Los Cabos golf hack guide, we flagged Solmar\u2019s twilight rounds<\/a> as one of the best ways to save big on green fees \u2014 with after-3 p.m. slots coming in lower than peak morning times while still giving you sunset light and cooler temps.<\/p>\n When to visit for the best round<\/p>\n Timing matters in Cabo, especially now that winter high season is already ramping up with projected occupancy around 75% or more.<\/p>\n If golf is a priority, we\u2019d suggest:<\/p>\n Winter (Dec\u2013March): Prime whale season and the crispest playing conditions, but also peak crowds and prices. Our guides to beating the high season rush<\/a> and bracing for packed high season<\/a> are worth a read before you book.<\/p>\n Shoulder months (late October, early November, late April\u2013May): Our month-by-month planning guide and November cheat sheet<\/a> explain why these windows can be the sweet spot between weather, rates, and tee time availability.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re still debating which month gives you the best mix of golf, beaches, and budget, start with You Could Be Visiting Los Cabos At The Wrong Time: Here\u2019s How To Pick The Perfect Month<\/a> \u2014 we packed it with crowd, price, and weather data based on what we track year-round.<\/p>\n Turning your round into a full Cabo golf getaway<\/p>\n This award doesn\u2019t exist in a vacuum. Los Cabos already showed up four times on Golf Digest\u2019s list of Mexico\u2019s best golf resorts<\/a>, and more big-name projects are coming from designers like Tiger Woods and Ernie Els<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Solmar](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Solmar-Gold-Links.jpg.webp.webp\")
