World Golf Awards recognises Greg Norman-designed Solmar Golf Links as region’s top layout
Solmar Golf Links has been named Latin America’s Best Golf Course 2025 by the World Golf Awards. The Greg Norman-designed course in Los Cabos claimed the top prize after beating other golf courses across the region.
Golf professionals, travel experts, and golfers worldwide voted for the award. The win confirms Los Cabos as a leading golf destination and places Solmar Golf Links among the best courses in Latin America.
Akira Tominaga, Director of Golf at Solmar Golf Links, said:
Being recognised as Latin America’s Best Golf Course is truly an honour. It shows the passion and dedication of our entire golf and resort team. Every detail is crafted to celebrate the natural beauty of Baja and deliver a world-class golf experience.
World Golf Awards Recognise Global Excellence
Solmar Golf Links opened in 2020 and features a par-72 championship course measuring 7,260 yards. The layout sits within a dramatic landscape of coastal dunes, desert terrain and a vibrant cactus forest.
Every hole offers views of the Pacific Ocean, creating a distinctive playing experience.
The course uses SeaDwarf Paspalum grass across all playing surfaces. This grass variety works well in coastal environments and requires less water than traditional turf options.
Greg Norman Design Integrates Natural Landscape
The Greg Norman Signature course draws inspiration from classic British seaside layouts.
Revetted pot bunkers crafted from recycled artificial turf serve as the defining feature throughout the 834-acre property.
The design works with the natural windswept dunes, cactus forest and coastal zones. This approach creates an authentic links-style experience whilst celebrating the unique Baja landscape.
Players face strategic challenges that test their shot-making ability whilst enjoying sweeping views across the desert to the ocean.
The course is located in the private Rancho San Lucas community, just 15 minutes from Cabo San Lucas. It sits next to Grand Solmar Pacific Dunes Resort Golf & Spa and is exclusively available to resort guests and residents.
Championship Facilities Support Player Performance
Players have access to a ranchero-style clubhouse perched high above the ocean.
The facility commands dramatic views and features a putting green overlooking the fairways and sea. A well-stocked golf shop offers fashionable sportswear for men and women.
The full-service practice facility includes a large driving range with a dedicated short game practice area.
Bunkers and target greens allow players to prepare thoroughly before their round on the championship layout.
Comfort stations positioned around the course provide selected snacks and beverages. Shared carts equipped with GPS enhance the playing experience with course information and accurate distances.
Audubon Certification Recognises Environmental Commitment
Solmar Golf Links holds Audubon International certification as a Cooperative Sanctuary. This recognition highlights efforts in water conservation, wildlife habitat management, and environmental planning.
The course design works with the natural terrain rather than imposing artificial features.
Native vegetation is preserved throughout the property, providing habitat for local wildlife while maintaining the area’s ecological balance.
Water management practices ensure efficient irrigation while maintaining optimal playing conditions. The SeaDwarf Paspalum grass requires less fresh water than traditional varieties, reducing the environmental impact of course maintenance.
Resort Integration Creates Complete Golf Experience
Solmar Golf Links is located within the Rancho San Lucas community alongside Grand Solmar Pacific Dunes. The oceanfront luxury property offers spacious suites, infinity pools overlooking the Pacific, upscale dining options, and a world-class spa.
This integration creates a seamless golf getaway where players can enjoy championship golf alongside premium resort amenities.
The close proximity allows guests to move easily between rounds and relaxation without lengthy transfers.
The course has been consistently ranked among the top golf destinations in Mexico and Central America.
Golfweek rated it number 16 in Mexico and the Caribbean, while the layout has been featured on the cover of LINKS Golf Magazine. The World Golf Awards recognition adds international validation to these existing accolades.
