Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play the Championship Course to avoid the heat and crowds?

You'll find the most comfortable playing conditions from November through April, when the humidity drops and temperatures are milder. We recommend booking your tee times well in advance during these peak months, especially for morning slots, as the course gets busy.

What's the signature challenge or unique feature golfers should prepare for at the Championship Course?

The wind off the Pacific is your biggest adversary here, especially on the back nine's exposed oceanfront holes. Pay close attention to your club selection on holes 14 through 17; those crosswinds can turn a good shot into a lost ball quickly.

Is the Championship Course worth the green fee, and what can I expect regarding amenities?

While it's certainly a premium experience, we believe the immaculate conditions and breathtaking ocean views make it a worthwhile splurge. Your green fee typically includes a shared cart, range balls, and bottled water, but caddies are an additional, highly recommended expense for navigating the subtle breaks.

What's the dining situation like at the Championship Course, and are there any must-try local specialties?

The clubhouse restaurant offers fantastic views and a menu featuring fresh local seafood and classic Mexican dishes. We always grab a post-round ceviche and a cold cerveza on the patio; it's the perfect way to unwind and soak in the scenery.

What practical advice do you have for navigating the course or getting there from nearby resorts?

Many local resorts offer shuttle services directly to the course, which we highly recommend for convenience. Be sure to hydrate constantly, as the Mexican sun is no joke, and don't forget to grab a yardage book - those elevation changes can be deceiving.
