On-site & Destination Safety Measures

Golf has been recognized as a safe social distancing sport and this is further supported by Rancho San Lucas’ newly acquired fleet of Skooza golf scooters, a self-balancing, 100% electric, zero emission fat-tire scooter designed for single-rider mobility. Additional on-site health and safety protocols include:

• Face masks and gloves will be worn by all employees while on property along with regular temperature checks administered
• Full-time housekeepers will be assigned to regularly clean all public areas; hand sanitizer dispensers in all interaction areas
• Tee times set 15 minutes apart
• Sanitation of golf carts and equipment before and after each round, including clubs, bags, shoes, etc.
• Complimentary tees, ball markers, pencils and scorecards will be placed in sealed plastic bag in each golf cart
• Addition of inserts in the golf hole cups to allow easy and safe removal of the ball
• Food and drinks at the comfort stations will be pre-ordered and delivered on trays

Safety remains a top priority for the region, known as one of the world’s top golf destinations. Los Cabos is one of the first locations to receive the coveted stamp of approval for safety protocols from the World Travel & Tourism Council. WTTC designed the special Safe Travels stamp for travelers to identify destinations and businesses around the world with heightened health and hygiene measures.

About the Greg Norman Signature Course

Inspired by the native terrain and featuring splendid panoramic views, the Greg Norman Signature course at Rancho San Lucas is a versatile 7,210-yard, par-72 course laid out within earshot of the thundering surf of the Pacific Ocean. Spanning three different ecosystems, the links-style course meanders through a thick cactus forest creased by winding arroyos before descending to enormous windswept dunes.

Featuring a dramatic 300-foot elevation change, the well-strategized course has five holes on the beach, notably the par-3 third, which parallels the sea and will give players fine views of breaching whales during the winter months. There’s also a signature island green at the testing par-3 17^th hole.

Grassed from tee-to-green in Paspalum, a drought-tolerant, disease-resistant varietal, the course features a unique revetted bunkering design unlike anything else in the region. Specifically tailored to Cabo’s terrain and locale, Norman and his design team integrated indigenous landscapes and grass varietals that use the least amount of water and in doing so, succeeded in creating a sustainable golf experience that flows naturally with the dune and desert landscape. The club has applied for enrollment in Audubon International’s Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses.

With two on-course comfort stations, each providing Mexican specialties and ice-cold refreshments, players can enjoy an all-inclusive experience during the round. A handsome ranchero-style clubhouse overlooks the fairways and sea. The practice facility features a spacious driving range, an 18-hole putting course, and dedicated chipping, pitching and sand play areas.
