Have you considered La Paz as one of the world’s top golf destinations?  Maybe it’s time you join many golfers from the Los Cabos area and pay us a visit.

The editors of Golf Magazine rated our course at Paraiso del Mar as one of the Top 5 Best New International Golf Courses of 2009! The Paraiso del Mar course – the first golf course in La Paz – is ranked #4 in fact, and you can read about it yourself in the Golf Magazine January 2010 Issue.

I don’t claim to be an expert golfer though I’ve golfed on and off most of my adult life. From the few lessons I’ve taken from Matt, the golf pro at Paraiso del Mar, I can tell you that he’s really good.

 Designed by Arthur Hills, the course is far more challenging than it appears at first. With the Sea of Crotez on one side, the Bay of La Paz on the other, and the dramatic mountains of Baja Sur, the scenery is so gorgeous how could you help but get distracted?

To reach Paraiso del Mar, you can drive around the Mogote Peninsula, but the best and most relaxing way to get there is by water taxi on the Malecon, operated by the resort.

The temporary clubhouse has a small pro shop and patio restaurant with delicious and reasonably priced food. I believe there is a package deal for non-members that includes transport, lunch and a round of golf. I’ll get more details on the current package when I next visit in April.

If you’d like to learn  more about playing a game or two at Paraiso del Mar, or if you’d like to find out about buying a house or condo on the resort, I’d be glad to answer any questions. Feel free to email me: lorenzo@lapazblog.com

Meet you on the green …
