Championship Golf Meets World-Class Sportfishing in Cabo San Lucas
Cabo San Lucas is synonymous with two things: incredible golf courses and world-class sportfishing. It's also one of the few destinations in the world where you can tee off on a championship golf course one day and be on the water the following morning battling marlin, tuna, dorado, or roosterfish.
Whether you’re planning a golf buddies' trip, corporate retreat, couples' vacation, or family getaway, combining golf and Cabo sportfishing can turn an ordinary vacation here into an unforgettable adventure.
Cabo Is a Golfer’s Paradise
The Los Cabos region is home to some of Mexico’s most acclaimed golf courses. Designed by legendary architects such as Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Greg Norman, and Robert Trent Jones Jr., Cabo’s courses offer stunning ocean views, desert landscapes, and championship-level play.
Popular golf destinations include:
Quivira Golf Club by Pueblo Bonito
Jack Nicklaus Signature Design course, built on one of the most stunning and picturesque settings in the world.
Cabo del Sol
Often ranked among the best golf facilities in Mexico, Cabo del Sol features spectacular oceanfront holes and immaculate course conditions.
Palmilla Golf Club
Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Palmilla was one of the first world-class golf courses in Los Cabos and remains a favorite among visiting golfers.
Diamante Cabo San Lucas
Known for championship-caliber layouts and exceptional service, Diamante attracts golfers from around the world.
For many visitors, golf is the primary reason for visiting Cabo. However, many are surprised to learn that some of the world’s best offshore fishing grounds are located just minutes away.
Cabo, the Marlin Capital of the World
Few destinations in the world can rival Cabo San Lucas when it comes to sportfishing opportunities for several reasons. First, the diversity of fish species found here is unparalleled. It's not uncommon for charter guests to complete a grand slam (three different fish species caught) or even a super grand slam (four different fish species caught) in a single charter outing. Second, fishing charters in Cabo are overall a great value when compared to other charters around the world, generally costing much less overall than destinations such as Hawaii and Florida.
Depending on the season, anglers may encounter:
Striped Marlin
Blue Marlin
Black Marlin
Sailfish
Yellowfin Tuna
Dorado (Mahi-Mahi)
Wahoo
Roosterfish
Grouper
Snapper
In fact, many anglers consider Cabo one of the most consistent billfish destinations anywhere in the world.
The best part? Most fishing grounds are located within a short run from the Cabo marina, meaning less travel time and more fishing time.
Cabo Golf and Fishing Vacations: The Perfect Cabo Itinerary for Golfers Who Want to Fish
Many visitors assume they must choose between golfing and fishing. In reality, Cabo makes it easy to enjoy both.
A popular itinerary might look like this:
Day One
Arrival, resort check-in, dinner overlooking the marina.
Day Two
Morning round of golf followed by an afternoon enjoying Cabo’s restaurants, and nightlife.
Day Three
Full-day sportfishing charter targeting marlin, tuna, dorado, and other seasonal species.
Day Four
Another championship golf round or a half-day fishing charter.
This combination allows visitors to experience two of Cabo’s signature activities without feeling rushed.
Why Golf Groups Are Adding Fishing Charters to Their Cabo Trips
Golf groups visiting Cabo are increasingly booking fishing charters as part of their vacation experience.
Reasons include:
A Unique Group Activity
Not everyone in a golf group plays at the same skill level. Fishing offers an exciting, shared experience where beginners and experienced anglers can enjoy success together.
Friendly Competition
Golfers naturally enjoy competition. Many groups create informal contests for:
Largest fish caught
Most fish landed
First fish of the day
Biggest marlin release
Unforgettable Memories
While golfers may forget their scorecard a year later, few forget the first time they watch a marlin explode on a bait behind the boat.
