If you are a golfer and plan to vacation on the Baja Peninsula, take a look at the golf destination of Danzante Bay Golf Club.
People around the world are talking about Danzante Bay, the eye-popping new Rees Jones-designed course on the Baja Peninsula’s eastern coastline.
Sea of Cortez surrounding Danzante Bay
It occupies a stunning setting, 250 feet above the Sea of Cortez to the east and backed by the Sierra la Giganta Mountains to the west. The course culminates in what promises to be one of the most photographed holes in modern North American golf, the 178-yard, par-3 17th to a green set diagonally on an outcrop with nothing around it but free fall to the water behind and below.
Golfers are flocking to the course to see and play 11 ocean-facing holes situated near the luxurious Villa del Palmar Beach Resort & Spa at The Islands of Loreto. The course offers magnificent views of the bay as well as the Sea of Cortez as it gently takes players from wavy desert terrain around a crystal lake, through sand dunes, and up into the majestic mountains.

Jones also designed an 18-hole putting course inspired by the famed Himalayas putting course in St Andrews, Scotland, where families can practice and have fun together.
Only a two-hour flight from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Loreto International Airport (LTO) also is accessible with direct WestJet flights from Calgary and from Tijuana via Calafia Airlines (three times a week year-round).
