In the East Cape of Los Cabos, Guy Nicholson escapes into an oasis of dressed-down luxury
Ragged bunkers, shifting sand dunes, a fresh wind off the sea. Jet lag, close-cropped turf and a walkable golf course. It feels like the old country, but if this is Scotland, why is it so hot? And what’s with the boutique taco stand?This is not your grandson’s golf trip to Los Cabos. The southern tip of Baja California has a reputation as the Myrtle Beach of Mexico – spring break, tequila and sunburns, Sammy Hagar face-down on the beach.
Costa Palmas does have at least one important thing in common with other courses in Los Cabos, though: perfectly spaced refreshment stations. A round begins at Bouchie’s, an open-sided cantina beside the practice green and driving range. The routing passes the taco stand twice, creating pauses for cold towels and margaritas. And finally, there is the man on a bicycle who appears with perfect timing on a dusty path by the 16th tee, offering gourmet popsicles from a cool box.
Both make great company on the course. Stockton played professionally, including one lonely year travelling the LPGA Tour, but she also has a masters of business administration from Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego. A family connection eventually brought her to the East Cape, where she teaches, tends a six-figure Instagram following and rips drives well past most resort guests.
The Beach Club turns out to be a private haunt for residential members where ribeyes and sunsets are the marquee attractions. Neither has a price on the menu but both are outstanding.
