COURSE LAYOUT

HOLE # 1
NORMAN MISSION COURSE (Misión San Juan Bautista)
PRO TIP
Hole # 1 on the Norman Mission Course is an uphill par 4 to start the round. The landing area is wider than it appears. This is one of the longest greens on the course, so make sure to check the flag position and add another 20 yards for the uphill approach.
HOLE # 2
NORMAN MISSION COURSE (Misión San Juan Bautista)
PRO TIP
Hole # 2 Favor the right side off the tee as the arroyo pinches in the fairway. Lots of room around the green, so relax and take a confident swing.
HOLE # 3
NORMAN MISSION COURSE (Misión La Paz)
PRO TIP
This is the first of our fabulous set of par 3s. Plays the actual yardage, check the ocean breeze and the center of the green is your target.
HOLE # 4
NORMAN MISSION COURSE (Misión Santiago de los Coras)
PRO TIP
This is a slightly uphill par 5, but reachable for the aggressive hitter. Lots of room around the green. A good short game could get you a birdie.
HOLE # 5
NORMAN MISSION COURSE (Misión Todos Santos)
PRO TIP
This is a short par 4 with a dogleg right. Aggressive attack in the right rough line and cut the corner. The hillside tends to kick everything back towards the fairway. The key is an accurate approach, and short is better than long.
HOLE # 6
NORMAN MISSION COURSE (Misión La Purisima)
PRO TIP
Take a deep breath and enjoy the 10 miles of spectacular coastline. Lots of room around the green. You will need to take less club due to the 105-foot drop in elevation: (upper tees – 2 clubs & lower tees – 1 club.)
HOLE # 7
NORMAN MISSION COURSE (Misión Dolores del Sur)
PRO TIP
Named appropriately, this long par 5 can cause mucho dolores (pain). Wide open fairway off the tee, but the challenge lies in the layup and trying to navigate the large fairway bunker on the left side.
HOLE # 8
NORMAN MISSION COURSE (Misión Luigi)
PRO TIP
Long, uphill par 4. Ideal tee shot is over the right side of the rock outcropping. A bailout is provided right of the green and there is plenty of room to get up and down.
HOLE # 9
NORMAN MISSION COURSE (Misión San Jose Comondu)
PRO TIP
Perfect hole to press the bet. Aggressive players will carry the left side of the center fairway bunkers. Safe option is to layup short and use a short iron to make birdie the old fashioned way.
HOLE # 10
NICKLAUS MARINA COURSE (Puerto San Blas)
PRO TIP
Long, uphill par 5 provides the widest fairway on the course. Two nicely struck shots will get you into short iron range. Make sure to take two extra clubs for the uphill approach to this well guarded green.
HOLE # 11
NICKLAUS MARINA COURSE (Puerto Campeche)
PRO TIP
Two-level green that runs right to left; right section of the green is the smart play regardless where the pin is. A bailout is provided on the right, where a good short game will help you save par.
HOLE # 12
NICKLAUS MARINA COURSE (Puerto Los Cabos)
PRO TIP
This is the longest hole in Los Cabos. Favor the left side off the tee as everything slopes right. Check the yardage on the approach, and take note that long is better than short, due the large greenside bunker.
HOLE # 13
NICKLAUS MARINA COURSE (Puerto Mazatlan)
PRO TIP
Decision needs to be made whether to thread the needle off the tee. Safe play is a tee shot short of the bunkers, but that will leave a longer approach into the green. A bailout is provided right of the green.
HOLE # 14
NICKLAUS MARINA COURSE (Puerto La Paz)
PRO TIP
Nothing peaceful about this challenging par 5. First decision is whether, or not to carry the arroyo off the tee. Once safe, decide on how to maneuver the second arroyo short of the green. Check the yardages, play smart and par will be your reward.
HOLE # 15
NICKLAUS MARINA COURSE (Puerto Escondido)
PRO TIP
This is the final par 3 of the round and well worth the wait. Tiny green almost seems hidden among the dunes. Factor in the bunkers and wind and it will make you feel satisfied with your par. Center of the green deserves a tip of the cap.
HOLE # 16
NICKLAUS MARINA COURSE (Puerto Manzanillo)
PRO TIP
This is the longest par 4 in Los Cabos. Finding the fairway is essential, as a long iron/wood will be needed to reach the green. The large bailout area right of the green is the miss on the approach.
HOLE # 17
NICKLAUS MARINA COURSE ( Puerto Salina Cruz)
PRO TIP
Uphill tee shot to a large, wide fairway and favor the left side. Approach shot needs to be precise as the green is only 22 paces deep, and be sure to take at least one extra club for the uphill approach.
HOLE # 18
NICKLAUS MARINA COURSE (Puerto Veracruz)
PRO TIP
Check the yardage to the lake and bunker, and be sure to factor in the downhill run the ball will have. Favor the left side off the tee, as the fairway slopes right. The approach needs to be precise due to the multiple levels of this green.
