THE COURSE – Par 71 | 6,250 yards
Construction began on Club Campestre San Jose's centerpiece, a fabulous 18-hole, Nicklaus Design golf course, in 2005 and the course officially opened for play in June of 2007. Spread across the gently rolling foothills of the Sierra del la Laguna Mountains, between the mountains and the sea, the course offers spectacular views from every hole. With its seamless, dramatic interplay with the raw natural beauty of the Baja California desert, this gem of a golf course will draw you back for game after game. Club Campestre San Jose invites you to enjoy the incredible panoramic views, dramatic elevation changes and undulating championship greens created specifically for us, and for this very special piece of property, by one of the great Masters of the game.
