Top 5 Reasons to Visit Diamante Cabo San Lucas
Experience the Once-Private World of Diamante
When Diamante opened in 2009, it was completely private. Only club members and invited guests could visit the resort. Now, through a special arrangement, Premier Golf has received exclusive access to book at Diamante’s resort and bring you this Cabo San Lucas experience.
This partnership opens the doors to what was once just a dream, allowing travelers to experience the dramatic sand dunes of The Dunes Course and the spectacular Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal. Guests gain access to the resort’s villas, premier dining, and the coveted Cabo lifestyle, all within a setting that’s secluded and sophisticated.
For golf travelers seeking a truly special experience, this is not just another tee time. It is an invitation to play somewhere many have not. In this blog, I will highlight the things that make Diamante special and why Cabo is the perfect destination for your next getaway.
1. Exceptional Golf for Every Player
Cabo San Lucas Diamante’s golf resort boasts two immaculate 18-hole courses: The iconic The Dunes and El Cardinol, Tiger Woods’ first-designed course. The resort also features Oasis, a low-stakes 12-hole customizable experience.

The Dunes
The Dunes ranks globally as one of the top courses in the world. Designed by Davis Love III, it plays like a pure links-style course, while combining elements from its southern Mexico terrain. The 18 holes of this course sit among some of the most dramatic sand dunes in the world. With multiple oceanfront holes, stunning views of the Pacific will be featured throughout the round.
The golf at The Dunes is simply pristine, but what truly sets it apart is the experience that shapes each round. Strategically placed comfort stations offer fresh food and drink to players, adding a touch of local authenticity. No matter your score, a round at The Dunes promises unforgettable moments and stunning scenery.

El Cardinol
Contrasting with The Dunes, El Cardinol is located at the foothills of the Baja Peninsula desert. Sandy gullies, cacti, and the native vegetation line the course. It presents wide fairways for guests to feel confident with their driver, though the track will demand precision on approach shots.
Don’t be intimidated by its designer. Tiger Woods’ El Cardonal is crafted to be both accessible and enjoyable for resort guests, featuring multiple tee options to accommodate all skill levels without compromising the challenge.
The Oasis Short Course
Diamante also features The Oasis Short Course, a twist on the traditional par-3 layout. This 12-hole course is designed for pure enjoyment. It is fun and flexible, allowing players to mix and match hole lengths or play shorter and longer loops for whatever pace they choose. Completely customizable, The Oasis is perfect for a warm-up before tackling The Dunes or El Cardonal or a relaxed wind-down before an evening at the resort.

2. Stay in Style, Dine Without Distance
The accommodations at Cabo San Lucas Diamante golf courses are nothing short of immaculate. Each private villa invites you to unwind in spacious elegance, with many showcasing serene views of the Pacific Ocean. Newly renovated, the villas and townhomes at Diamante offer the most modern accommodations for experiencing the city.
Designed with accessibility in mind, the resort places world-class dining just steps away. From the laid-back lagoon-side atmosphere of Amigos to the elevated culinary experiences at Woods, Diamante has something for all occasions within reach of guests.

3. Diamante’s Lagoon and Spa: Relaxed Luxury
At the heart of the resort is a manmade 10-acre saltwater Lagoon. Though the resort is on the Pacific Ocean, strong currents make the water unsuitable for swimming. The lagoon provides a safe environment for a relaxing afternoon or an adventure in watersports. The crystal clear turquoise water sets a scenic setting along the dunes.
When it’s time to slow down, Diamante’s wellness center offers world-class treatments made for pure relaxation. The Spa at Diamante is the perfect place to recharge after your round or unwind while your partner hits the links.
4. The Calm Side of Cabo
Located on the other side of the arch, the resort is a quieter stay on the Pacific. Guests are removed from the activity and nightly hustle and bustle of the city for a more refined and relaxed stay. Though only 6 miles from downtown, a night out or dining is easily within reach, too. At Diamante, your mood sets the tone. From serene relaxation to vibrant evenings, the resort offers seamless access to both tranquility and excitement.

5. Escape the cold, Embrace Cabo
What really sets Diamante apart is that it’s a true escape. With Cabo’s gorgeous, sunny weather even during the coldest months in the United States, guests can take a getaway for some much-needed sun and warmth.
Cabo is also home to a collection of world-class golf courses beyond Diamante. Just 10 miles from downtown lies one of Jack Nicklaus’ most celebrated designs, Quivira at Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos. Set atop dramatic cliffs that plunge into the Pacific Ocean, this course pairs breathtaking scenery with a five-star resort experience, earning it consistent recognition as one of the region’s finest destinations. Nearby, Greg Norman’s Solmar Links offers sweeping coastal views on nearly every hole, mixing championship-caliber golf with the serenity of its 800-acre resort setting.
Whether in Diamante or another destination, when the world cools down, Cabo San Lucas golf promises warmth and an unforgettable luxury experience. To begin your getaway, inquire now with Premier Golf.
