Bajamar Ocean Front Golf Resort

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to play Bajamar, considering the oceanfront conditions?

You'll find Bajamar most enjoyable from late spring through early fall. The coastal breezes are perfect for keeping you cool, and the sun is usually out, making those ocean views truly spectacular. We recommend avoiding the peak summer heat if you're sensitive, though the ocean keeps it milder than inland.

What makes Bajamar's 'Pebble Beach of Mexico' reputation hold up, especially on the ocean holes?

Bajamar truly earns its nickname with the 'Ocean Course' nine, particularly holes 4 through 6. These dramatic cliff-side holes demand precision and offer breathtaking views, making you feel like you're hitting right into the Pacific. It's an unforgettable stretch where the wind becomes a significant factor, so plan your shots carefully.

How easy is it to get to Bajamar from the US, and what should I know about crossing the border?

Getting to Bajamar from San Diego is surprisingly straightforward, usually about an hour's drive south of the border. We always recommend using the Ready Lane or SENTRI for quicker crossings back into the US, especially on weekends. Make sure your car insurance covers Mexico, or purchase temporary coverage at the border - it's a must.

What's the typical condition of the course, and is Bajamar a good value for an oceanfront experience?

Bajamar generally offers a solid playing surface, especially considering its oceanfront location and the price point. While it might not always have the pristine polish of a top-tier US resort, the greens are usually true, and the fairways are well-maintained. For the dramatic views and challenging layout, it's an excellent value compared to similar courses north of the border.

Beyond golf, what else can I expect from a stay at Bajamar, or what's nearby?

While Bajamar is primarily a golf destination, the resort offers comfortable, if a bit dated, accommodations and a nice pool area to relax after your round. For dining and local flavor, we suggest venturing a short drive south to Puerto Nuevo, the famous 'Lobster Village,' for a truly authentic Baja experience. Don't miss the fresh seafood!
