The opening tee shot at Los Lagos Golf Course is the only thing in San Jose Del Cabo that feels more dramatic than the sunset. Locals know the real trick is booking a twilight round, then grabbing a fish taco and a Pacifico at the bar that overlooks the 18th green.

This list covers everything from the championship-level difficulty of the Arroyo course to the forgiving fairways that beginners actually enjoy. I played all of them so you don’t have to, though I did lose four balls on the back nine.

It’s a sacrifice. The rankings are honest, the distances are correct, and the gopher that stole my tee is still at large.
