The
Robert Trent Jones II-designed course at Cabo Real, an oceanfront
destination resort, winds its way around beautiful homes and the
ultra-exclusive Las Ventanas al Paraiso, hotel to the rich and famous.
But the development is not so intrusive as to spoil the feeling
of space and expansive ocean views. The site of the 1999 PGA Senior
Slam Tournament, it’s designed to challenge the low handicapper,
yet with multiple tees, is fun for players of any level. Robert
Trent Jones II places fairway sand traps at distances from the tee
boxes that require straight and direct tee shots or you will be
playing from the sand. Rolling fairways move up the mountainside
then drop back down toward the beach. From the elevated tee box
on the par-4 ninth, a lake on the left and the ocean in the distance
frames the fairway. The course moves towards the water for the back
nine, with the par-4 14th sweeping down to the ocean on a palm tree-lined
fairway, culminating in an elevated green right next to the rolling
surf. The par-3 15th runs along the beach where tee shot accuracy
once again becomes important in order to stay out the surf.
