Can you play El Dorado?

Not as a visitor. The club presents El Dorado as a members-only private community, and there are no public tee times. If you want a Nicklaus round on the corridor, Palmilla has a public nine, and Puerto Los Cabos near San José has two Nicklaus nines open to the public.

Getting to El Dorado Golf and Beach Club from Villa 1

About 24 km east of Villa 1 on Highway 1, 30 to 35 minutes. Entry is through the private community's gate.
