Nothing Like Some 'del Sol' for my Soul
As co-founder of Epic Golf Memories, I'm obviously a huge fan of having someone follow me around with a camera while I golf, especially at epic golf courses or when playing for a special occasion. So when my friend Nick and I played the Cabo del Sol Ocean Course in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, it was no exception. Much like my experience at Pebble Beach 4 years ago, I was stunned by the natural beauty of Cabo's Sea of Cortez coastline and surrounding vistas.
I mean, golf is always fun for me no matter where I play, but when I get to play at a place like this I feel just like a kid in a candy shop. It truly makes my soul smile. I offer you these photos and videos to give you at least a sense of what I'm talking about.
From the breakfast spot...
... to the practice range...
... to the course itself...
... we were in golf heaven.
"LINKS Magazine took on a tall task by narrowing more than 30,000 golf courses around the world into a list of the 10 Most Spectacular. But they did it, and Jack Nicklaus’ renowned design of the Ocean Course at Cabo del Sol made the prestigious group. Opened in 1994 and a staple in global rankings, the Ocean Course at Cabo del Sol was included in the 10 with such venerable names as Old Head in Ireland, and high-profile neighbors Cypress Point and Pebble Beach."
"With seven holes fronting the turquoise-blue sea, the Ocean Course at Cabo del Sol is the course that placed Los Cabos, the 20-mile corridor at the tip of Mexico’s Baja California Sur, squarely on the global golf map. The Ocean Course at Cabo del Sol is revered as one of the finest courses in Latin America and has consistently ranked as Mexico’s top layout."
