Golf:
The Links at Las Palomas Resort Golf Club Sculpted from the windswept lands, seaside dunes and tides of the Sea of Cortez, and designed by prestigious golf course architects Forrest Richardson and Arthur Jack Snyder, The Links at Las Palomas is a world-class 18-hole, par 72, Championship golf course that offers an authentic links-style golf experience. Your round at The Links begins atop the natural dunes and winds you down toward the town of Puerto Peñasco through an obstacle course of hillocks and lagoons. At Hole 4, the course rises up again into the sand dunes where holes traverse natural blow-out bunkers with exciting undulations and panoramic views of the sea. The back nine begins by darting around and across tranquil waters and a colorful Sonoran landscape, drawing to a close with one of the greatest finishing holes in the country. A par-3 and par-5 respectfully, holes 17 and 18 provide abundant playing options and are destined to become favorites for their beauty and intrigue. Finally, there is the bonus hole, a short par-3 of 120 yards which offers extra play to settle matches and treats you with one last taste of the dunes and ocean vista. With a breathtaking backdrop of beach and sea, the 19th is symbolic and maddening, raising the question: “How can such a short hole be so devilish?” A semi-private course, The Links at Las Palomas Resort also features a beautiful clubhouse, a stocked pro shop, a driving range, practice greens and cart rentals.
