Where we play
The course and its hosts
Make the most of your golf getaway with a special Auberge package built around the tournament: 40% off nightly rates, daily breakfast, airport transfers, and transportation to and from the course.
The course
Cabo del Sol
Wrapped in the Baja landscape, Cabo del Sol is a golfer’s paradise: a demanding design, ocean views, canyon-shaped arroyos and dramatic bunkers.
It plays as a par 72 designed by Tom Weiskopf. All 18 holes look out on the Sea of Cortés from every tee, and five of them were designed by Fry/Straka Design Group.
Host resort
Chileno Bay Resort & Residences
Chileno Bay is a modern haven located on one of Cabo’s rare swimmable beaches, where contemporary Latin American design meets exceptional culinary delights, transformative wellness offerings, and thrilling adventures.
Host resort
Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection
Nestled into the cliffs of the only private beach on the rugged Cabo coast, Esperanza is the destination for travelers seeking an extraordinary beach vacation that melds nature, history, and culture with superior amenities.
Our purpose
Building Baja’s Future
At Chileno Bay Resort & Residences and Esperanza Resort, our team members are the heart of everything we do — we are a family. That is why we created a scholarship program to support the educational aspirations of our team members’ children. We are deeply committed to building bright futures and believe that every child deserves access to quality education.
Beyond the breathtaking views and the thrill of golf, this tournament represents something more profound: an opportunity to invest in the education and future of the next generation.
Through our partnership with Building Baja’s Future, funds raised through the tournament will support scholarships for children of colleagues at Chileno Bay and Esperanza, part of the Auberge Collection.
Every swing made and every contribution will help create greater opportunities for these students, supporting their educational journeys and paving the way for a brighter future. Together, we can make an impact that extends far beyond the golf course.
Every peso raised goes to the scholarship programs for the children of the resorts’ staff.
