Since its February 2020 debut, the Greg Norman-designed course at Rancho San Lucas Golf Club, its fairways etched across desert foothills that tumble to the sea, has been acclaimed as one of the finest tests of golf in a destination known for its superlative layouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a Solmar spokesman, \u201cGreg Norman crafted a rollicking, lay-of-the-land journey characterized by glorious Pacific Ocean vistas and a plethora of ground game options. The superb golf course isn\u2019t going anywhere, but change is in the air. Rancho San Lucas Golf Club is now Solmar Golf Links. The new name aptly describes the layout, while the splashy new logo (see above) is a perfect fit for the golf course.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known for his \u2018least-disturbance\u2019 design approach, Norman tailored the course to the site\u2019s native terrain, creating a versatile, strategic layout with ocean views from every hole. Spanning three different ecosystems, the layout rambles through huge windswept dunes at the start, climbs through a thick cactus forest crossed by arroyos, and returns players to the beach and sea on the back nine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two on-course comfort stations, each accessible twice, serve complimentary Mexican fare and refreshments. A handsome ranchero<\/em>-style clubhouse, newly expanded, overlooks the fairways and sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solmar Golf Links is the first facility in Los Cabos to be designated a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary by Audubon International. The club\u2019s environmental initiatives include preserving native acreage, enhancing wildlife habitat, reducing irrigated areas to conserve water, and other eco-friendly actions. <\/p>\n\n\n

Andrew Gilchrist, director of golf at Solmar Golf Links, is a native Scotsman who knows his way around seaside courses. \u201cYou\u2019ve got the dunes here, the sandy soil and the ocean breeze,\u201d Gilchrist said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got fairways that blend into the natural vegetation. You\u2019ve got flat-faced, revetted bunkers\u2014the only ones in Mexico\u2014and you\u2019ve got Seadwarf paspalum turf, which encourages run-up ground game shots. We call this a links-inspired golf course, but in truth, it plays a lot like an authentic links.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evoking Spanish Colonial design motifs and a coastal Baja ambiance, the on-site resort hotel, Grand Solmar Pacific Dunes, offers deluxe accommodations with ocean views, abundant amenities and gracious service. Resort guests enjoy exclusive access to Solmar Golf Links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new logo depicts a breaching humpback whale, a common occurrence in Cabo from mid-December through April, set against the backdrop of a brilliant rising sun. \u201cSol,\u201d Spanish for sun, and \u201cMar,\u201d Spanish for sea, form Solmar, the company name behind the development of the golf course and resort community.<\/p>\n\n\n
