Diamante Dunes- hole 5
Diamante Dunes GC was designed by Davis Love the third with Paul Cowley, and opened for play in 2010.
The course is routed through huge sand dunes by the sea on the tip of Mexico's Baja Peninsula.
The Dunes course is part of an enormous real estate development which also includes a par 3 course, and a second 18 hole course designed by Tiger Woods (El Cardonal)
A third 18 hole course is imminent and it will be another Tiger course...
Diamante Dunes- hole 2
The front nine at Diamante Dunes winds through lovely dunes land, with a nice variety of holes.
The surroundings are impressive with large exposed tracts of sand, and dunes everywhere
Although the holes were soundly designed I found the green complexes got lost in the surroundings- the greens themselves were at times hard to pick up.
Diamante Dunes- hole 10
The back nine ventures closer to the ocean, and some of the holes are more dramatic
The 12th hole is a longish uphill par 3 to a green set in the saddle of a large dune.
It really is a majestic and challenging hole.
Diamante Dunes GC- hole 12
In fact it's a fantastic golf hole!
Hole thirteen is also a ripper!
It is a snaking par 5 with expanses of sand along the left flank, and dunes to the right.
The approach to the peninsula green will certainly get the blood pumping.
It’s another fantastic golf hole!
Diamante Dunes
Hole sixteen is a par 4 with the green right on the beach.
The short par 3 seventeenth hole also has the beach and the rolling surf as a backdrop
It is a lovely setting to play golf.
Diamante Dunes- hole 7
Diamante Dunes is a quality course in a beautiful part of the world.
I'd go back in a heartbeat!
