Nestled along the magnificent Sea of Cortez, this destination offers a perfect combination of natural beauty, world-class golf, and authentic Mexican charm. Located in the southern part of the Baja California peninsula in northwestern Mexico, it is bordered to the north by Baja California Norte, to the east by the Gulf of California, and the south and west by the Pacific Ocean.
Within this region lie three of Mexico’s thirty-five UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the culturally significant cave paintings of the Sierra de San Francisco, the natural wonders of the Whale Sanctuary of El Vizcaíno, and the Islands and Protected Areas of the Gulf of California. The Sea of Cortez, with its more than two hundred islands, is renowned for its incredible biodiversity, earning it World Heritage status. It is home to 891 species of fish, including 90 that are endemic, 39% of the world’s marine mammal species, and one-third of all marine cetacean species.
The Sea of Cortez is embraced by the peninsula, a desert landscape sculpted by wind and the rare rains over thousands of years. This region is steeped in history, where ancient peoples arrived and left their mark in the form of cave paintings depicting the deer and coyotes they once hunted. The admiration for this sea and its surroundings is a recurring theme in the stories that resonate along its coasts and across its waters.
La Paz boasts breathtaking golf courses that are designed to challenge players while offering stunning views of the ocean and surrounding desert landscapes. The combination of well-manicured greens and rugged natural terrain makes for an unforgettable golfing experience.
