Golfing El Cortes in La Paz

Golfing El Cortes Golf Club in La Paz

Exploring the golf courses in La Paz, Mexico was recommended by our long-standing clients from Washington State and the golf course did not disappoint. El Cortez is a two-hour drive north of Los Cabos, located on the Sea of Cortez. The city is 40 feet above sea level making the climate ideal for hot, dry days and cool nights.

The Course & Club

El Cortes Golf Club opened in 2018 and is the country’s first Gary Player Signature golf course. The layout has dramatic elevation changes highlighted with stands of cacti and has a unique “desert-by-the-sea” feel. The course is challenging but will appeal to a wide range of skill levels with elevated tees, wide fairways, and approachable greens. El Cortes Golf Club’s par-5 14th is one of the most memorable holes since it requires an accurate shot to a fairway situated 200 feet below (see photo), it is the most intimidating tee shot on the golf course. The course features a mix of long par 4s, short par 3s, and risk-reward par 5s, all designed to challenge golfers to use a variety of clubs and strategies.

El Cortes Golf Club is a must play, whether it’s a day trip from Los Cabos or a few nights’ stay at Hotel Indigo and Beach Club that re-opened in 2024 after an extensive renovation. Hotel Indigo is an IHG hotel’s Luxury collection equipped with spa-like bathrooms, large balconies with panoramic views of the golf course, and the Sea of Cortez. The hotel has 3 restaurants and world-class marina and other fine dining restaurants steps away from the resort.

If staying a couple of days in Puerta Cortez, Paraiso del Mar is La Paz’s first golf course that is surrounded by miles of unspoiled beaches located ½ hour from the resort community. It’s another 18-hole championship golf course and rated one of the best golfing outings in the Baja.
