Located in Baja California Sur, 5km outside the town of La Paz near the Sea of Cortez, Cabo del Diablo is a private 18-hole Championship course.  Laid out at over 7000 yards, the course provides a real challenge for low handicap golfers but is still great fun for beginners with its numerous sand traps and colinas.  Pin placement is a key to club selection as the distance into greens may vary as much as 20-40 yards.  Most greens slope from back to front, thus flying the pin will result in tricky downhill putts.  Occasionally, prevailing winds tend to circle the course as they come off the mountains, forcing the golfer to think twice before making a club selection.  In an effort to protect its beautiful natural surroundings, motorized carts are forbidden at Cabo del Diablo and numerous out-of-bounds markers line every fairway.
