Jack Nicklaus Challenges Cabo With The New Club Campestre San Jose

Mexico Golf Reviews

club campestreCabo San Lucas, Mexico has beaches, sun, half-naked women and some of the best golf courses in the world. Every year they keep adding more and more golf courses to attract tourists to the paradise location, although that may not be wholly necessary considering the above-mentioned amenities.

The most recent addition to the Cabo San Lucas golf scene is the Jack Nicklaus-designed Club Campestre San Jose. Like many of the golf courses in the area, here you will find dramatic views of the Sea of Cortez and elevation changes that might require a burro to navigate.

From the back tees this golf course can stretch to over 7,000 yards, but the firm ground will give you added roll from the tee. Club Campestre San Jose has large greens and fairways that are just as generous.

The golf course uses a new strain of grass called Paspalum Seaisle which is more resistant to sea water. This should keep the golf course in great shape all year long. The Club Campestre San Jose is the first golf course in Cabo San Lucas to use this strain of grass which has been used very successfully in other parts of Mexico.

The crystal blue waters of the Sea of Cortez are well worth the journey alone, but a night of drinking cervezas (beer for the English speakers) will make for a memorable experience. Tasting authentic Mexican food, trying your hand at deep-sea fishing, and experiencing the local culture are some of the biggest draws to Cabo San Lucas in addition to the golf.
