Los Cabos Golf Hack: Play After 3 PM At These 5 Courses And Save Big On Green Fees

Share The Article

Sun-baked fairways, Pacific breezes, and those trademark rocky backdrops… Los Cabos is a golfer’s candy store. The only sour note?

Rack-rate green fees that can feel like buying the cart and the course. The easiest fix is to tee it up after 3 p.m., when every major club flips to its “twilight” (or even “super-twilight”) pricing. You get softer light, emptier fairways, and the same ocean views for dramatically less cash.

Below, we at The Cabo Sun round up five marquee courses where late-day golf means big savings right now, plus insider tips to keep your round smooth, hydrated, and brag-worthy. (Prices are per player in USD, tax included, and were the latest publicly posted June 2025 rates—always double-check when you book.)

Golf course in Los Cabos

With swaying palms on the front nine and desert mountain climbs on the back, Cabo Real serves a little bit of every Baja landscape—plus humpback sightings when the season’s right. Golden hour here is pure Instagram fuel.

  • Twilight window: 1 : 30 p.m. – dusk (anything 3 p.m.+ qualifies)
  • Twilight rate: $160 (low season) · Rack rate $215
  • 💰 Your savings: $55
  • Why we love it: Ocean-front par-3s, brisk cart pace

Palmilla Golf Club — Twilight from $120

Jack Nicklaus’s “Grand Dame of Los Cabos” dishes up 27 holes, each framed by bougainvillea-blurred canyon walls or blue-on-blue sea views.

A late-day sea breeze turns the back nine into natural air-con.

  • Twilight window: 2 p.m. onward
  • Twilight rate: $120 (9 holes) · Rack rate ≈ $150
  • 💰 Your savings: ≈ $20
  • Why we love it: Three nines to mix-and-match, plus fewer carts in front of you as dinner beckons.
  • Rental hack: Show your Questro multi-round pass and the staff often waives the usual $70 club-rental fee.
  • Website

Quivira Golf Club — Twilight from $306 (Jun–Sep)

Perched on Pacific cliffs, Quivira is the show-pony course where every hole screams “desktop wallpaper.” Late-day rounds still include those legendary taco & margarita comfort stations—minus the morning crowds.

  • Twilight window: 12 : 45 p.m. – 2 p.m. (teeing off after 3 p.m. still bills at twilight)
  • Twilight rate: $306 (summer) · Rack rate $465
  • 💰 Your savings: Up to $159
  • Why we love it: Cliff-edge par-3s, breaching whales at sunset, what’s not to love?

Cabo San Lucas Country Club — Afternoon Steal at $99

Five minutes from downtown, this locals-friendly track just resurfaced its greens yet still charges less than a marina dinner. The desert-meets-ocean panoramas of El Arco make every thrift-shop birdie feel VIP.

  • Late-day window: After 12 p.m.
  • Twilight rate: $99 (through Sept 30) · Rack rate $139
  • 💰 Your savings: $40
  • Why we love it: Budget-minded, renovated, and ridiculously close to downtown tacos.

Solmar Golf Links — Twilight $195

Greg Norman’s windswept links stitches dunes, desert, and Pacific surf into one addictive loop. Book the Sunset slot (after 3 p.m.) and you’ve basically robbed a bank legally.

  • 💰 Your savings: $100
  • Why we love it: Fish-taco comfort stations, cacti-lined fairways, and a last-hole Pacific backdrop.
  • Wind hack: Afternoon gusts howl—club up two irons on the seaside par-3s and thank us later.

Quick-Draw Twilight Tips For Any Cabo Round

  • Pack a headlamp. Summer sunsets stretch past 8 p.m.; a tiny light in the bag lets you finish 18 without scrambling in the dark—and makes for epic twilight Insta stories.
  • Ask for “super-twilight.” Many clubs lop another 15–30 % off once the clock strikes 4 p.m. or if you book a nine-hole loop. That extra cash? Perfect for a post-round margarita flight.
  • Hydrate like it’s your job. Even late-day temps can flirt with 90°F, so load electrolytes into the cart cooler before you tee off. Heatstroke ruins more vacations than triple-bogeys.
  • Check aeration calendars. Fresh-punched greens mean bumpy putts—but also flash discounts. A few lumpy rolls are a small price to pay for big savings.
  • Bundle your rounds. Questro and Pueblo Bonito multi-course passes knock 10–25 % off every tee time. Book two courses, dodge one full rack rate.

Will You Beat the Clock?

Avid golfers routinely finish twilight rounds in Los Cabos in:

  • ≈ 3 hr 45 min on flatter tracks (Cabo Real, Palmilla)
  • ≈ 4 hr 15 min on dramatic cliffside layouts (Quivira, Solmar)

Tee off around 3:15 p.m. in June and you’ll still have 90-plus minutes of daylight for that closing-hole selfie.

Final Swing

Booking after 3 p.m. in Los Cabos is the golfing equivalent of happy hour: the vibe is chill, the scenery dialed to golden hour, and your wallet stays pleasantly plump.

Whether you crave cliff-edge hero shots at Quivira or a budget-friendly loop minutes from downtown, twilight tee times let you play where the pros rave—without paying pro-tour prices.

Grab your sunscreen, hit “book,” and we’ll see you somewhere between a Pacific breeze and that birdie putt rolling in against a flamingo-pink sky. Until then, swing easy and save big—we at The Cabo Sun will be cheering you on from the clubhouse patio!
