Solmar Golf Links

Only recently opened in February 2020 as the centerpiece of the Grand Solmar at Rancho San Lucas, the Greg Norman designed Solmar Golf Links is already garnering plaudits aplenty, including an Editor's Choice award from Golf Digest. "Rancho San Lucas is the most spectacular piece of oceanfront property I've seen in a long time. So to have the opportunity to build a course on this site was truly once-in-a-lifetime," said Norman. "My goal was to keep it as natural as possible, using my 'least-disturbance' approach, while showcasing the property's three unique ecosystems: the ocean, the sand dunes and the arroyos." Set along the Pacific Coast north of Cabo San Lucas, the 7,210-yard layout weaves gracefully through all three ecosystems, with signature touches like British Isles style bunkering and ocean views on all 18 holes. The most memorable backdrops, however, may be those at the 161-yard 17th, a par-3 that features an island green reminiscent of TPC Sawgrass. Comfort food stations provide food and drink refreshments throughout the round.
