Course Report

Diamante Dunes was inspired by the classic links of Scotland and Ireland, and Davis Love III remarked 'It was like pulling up to St Andrews' when he first saw the site.

About

Diamante Dunes is a Davis Love III-designed course ranked among the world’s best and Mexico’s #1. Set among dramatic sand dunes on the Pacific coast, it features expansive greens, unforgettable ocean views, and natural links-like routing. Guest amenities include signature comfort stations, a world-class practice facility, and exceptional service, making it one of Mexico's premier luxury golf experiences.

Caddie Tip

Play for the center of expansive greens and respect the shifting coastal winds, which intensify on the back nine near the ocean. Accurate club selection is crucial, especially on holes exposed to the Pacific breeze. Trust the yardages, use the mounding when available, and embrace creative shotmaking for best scoring opportunities.

The Main Challenge

Wind is the defining challenge at Diamante Dunes, particularly on holes closest to the ocean where gusts shape strategic decisions. Large, contoured greens require precise approach play and deft putting, while the shifting sand dunes and elevation changes demand accurate tee shots and creative course management for scoring success.

The Good

Golfers love Diamante Dunes for its pure links-like feel, stunning Pacific Ocean vistas, and the dramatic, ever-shifting sand dunes that create a one-of-a-kind golf environment. Unmatched service and comfort stations add memorable luxury touches, while the challenge of playing in the coastal wind offers excitement for all skill levels.

The Not So Good

Some players find the back nine prone to slow play when groups linger at comfort stations, and occasional unpredictable wind can frustrate less experienced golfers. High green fees and exclusive access may limit availability, and the rugged terrain can make walking challenging for many guests.
