Course was in a horrible condition. It was not even grass on the tee boxes.

DON'T DO IT!!! REMODEL IN PROGRESS!!

They have 9 holes closed!! The other 9 are okay, but conditions aren't great. They allow you to play back 9 twice. They also don't mention it on GolfNow booking notes nor when you check in. We literally found out on the first tee box. What a joke. Don't play for a long time. Renovations not completed until late November. Fairways on open 9 being aerated.

WAIT!

Course only has back 9 open until mid-November. The course, nor GOLFNOW, will inform you until you're in your cart. Shame as I would've booked elsewhere. DON'T BOTHER.

Wrong Time of Year

I’ve played this amazing course twice and loved it. I wish we would have known that we had to play the back 9 only before we made reservations and drive out there Very hot and course was very dry. We should have paid Half of what we paid under those circumstances

Under repair

The front nine was closed and we had to play back nine twice. Also 10th hole fairway was under repair and was basically a dirt field. Did not find out until we checked in.

Front 9 closed

This course had potential to be nice. But they were renovating the front nine so confined everybody to the back nine only. I understand this is necessary at times but they did not disclose this until after we had checked in for our round. Nothing on the website and golf now said nothing about this either when I booked, which really bothered me because had I known I would have chosen a different course to play. Also it looked like because they are probably planning on renovating the back nine next they were not giving it the care it needed. Many greens had large spots that were dead or dying, fairways didn’t seem to be getting the water needed. On top of everything because we were confined to playing the back nine twice the course played exceptionally slow. Overall a poor experience for such a pricey course.

Beware

Course is only using the back 9 until Oct 31, 2023. We did not know this until an hour before our tee time. Some challenging holes with good views of the water. They are apparently on reduced rates. We utilized a Hot Deal and got a rate $45 under normal price.

Cabo real

Front nine is closed and golf now did not not reveal this . I still paid a lot and could only play back nine. Was fine at first but then course was backed up . Play was slow and would not recommend playing here now. Course is nice when fully open and it’s good they are taking care of it but, wouldn’t have paid what I did if I knew that! I should be entitled to half of my $$$ back ! See ya in about 6 months Cabo real!

So Bad

Hate to say it but I likely wouldn’t never play this course again. We played it three years ago and it was a fun, challenging track with great views of the ocean. At that time it was in great shape. Unfortunately this time they only had the back nine open (no warning on golf now nor when we called to ask if there was a range to warmup). The fairways and most of the course was burnt out and really dry which did not allow for your ball to sit in fairways even when you hit them and the greens were ungroomed to the point where you had to almost chip your putts in. Had a hot deal but still spent about $150 for one of the worst rounds of golf ever. Good thing I had a great foursome with me. Then they had the audacity to offer a “free” round if we sat through a timeshare prez, no thanks! So disappointed and not sure if I’d ever pay for a questro round ever again.

Terrible course

Awful conditions. I went here on family vacation and booked this online not knowing only the back 9 was open. Also, the sprinklers were broken, course had dead grass everywhere. I will not be golfing here again.

Unusual course conditions

Went to Cabo Real and found that only 9 holes were open and the other nine had airiation on the green with a high cut. I was informed by the Pro shop that it was GN's responsibility to inform me of this when i booked the time, but that was not done. I try to play here every year at the same time and actually love the course and people. Just extremely disappointed with the conditions this time around. My guidance from this point forward is do not trust GN, call the course first.

Terrible condition

The course was under repair. All the greens had an inch of sand on them. They closed half the course, so you play the same 9 twice.

My wife was dressed in a nice Sun dress but they made her buy a golf shirt. I can understand if the course was in good condition and fully opened. It was so ridiculous.

Not worth the money!

Fairways were all burned out and dry. Was not informed of course conditions at time of booking. Should have paid an extra $40 to replay Cabo del Sol.

Dry

Ground and fairways were very dry and hard. Some tee boxes were burned out.
Beautiful views but a couple of odd holes.
