My friends and I were at Cabo San Lucas last weekend, and I felt like I died and went to play golf in heaven. Cabo Del Sol, The Ocean Course, was just unbelievable. It's magnificent.

I have had the fortunate experience to have played many wonderful courses in my golf playing days, but there's never been a course that seemed as though each hole got to be more magnificent than the last. It is simply phenomenal!

This hole I believe was the 17th hole, a Par 3. From the black tees, which actually cradled the backside of the 16th green on a hillside from an overhaging rock ledge, it was listed at 175 yds; but may well have been 200. Left side bunker, chipped out and two-putted for a very happy Bogey.

A must play for the purist. Jack really outdid himself with this beauty!

Agree, the courses in Cabo are really terrific. However, they have gone absolutely berzerk cost wise. It's Mexico not Pinehurst after all. In fact, you can play the premium Pinehurst courses for less money than Cabo. It's a shame because visitors would like to play a few times during a week's vacation there, but it is really rough on the wallet. The Maya Riviera north of Cancun is heading north on prices as well. Puerta Viarta is still in the ballpark but who knows for how long.

WHOA October 1, 2007 - June 30, 2008 $350 (7:00-1:50) It is a magnificent course but man!!!

Then again, if it was that memorable for you then it can be justified.

We were on vacation, so it's relative. The guys I played with are my college buddies and all are married like myself. We all had the wives' nod on this one, guys; as long as we tee'd out early enough.

We live in the LA basin. On any given day, despite the numerous golf courses we have, our metropolitan population of 11 million does have a dramatic impact on all the golf courses anywhere around us. For the guys that are on a 40 hr/wk work schedule, it's tough to get off midweek and play golf. Unless you don't mind spending 7 hours average to play a round, then it's easy to find courses that cost only 40-50 bucks.

Otherwise...

btw - I've played Trump National. You can check their green fees online, and Cabo del Sol, IMO, is still way above Trump's course; and they don't even additionally charge a silly fee called 'Green Fee' Tax ($80.00) like Donald does.

Torrey Pines, Pebble Beach, and even Pelican Hill doesn't even come close to this course. But that's just my personal opinion.

Anyway, Cabo Del Sol really is a phenomenal golf course.
