The course
Woods designed El Cardonal around strategy rather than length, with wide playing corridors, arroyos, native dunes and ocean views. The Oasis Short Course, also by Woods, circles an eight-acre water feature lined with palms: 12 par-3 holes, pitched at families, beginners and practice.
Access
Like the Dunes Course, El Cardonal doesn't have public rates or online tee times. Contact Diamante if you're a guest of a member or owner. For public golf nearby, try Solmar Golf Links or the Cabo del Sol Course.
