Our Method
We compared Golf World's Top 100 Golf Resorts in the World (2026 Edition), The Top 100 Golf Resorts (2024-25) and The 2025 World Golf Awards Winners List: 4 points for a ranking of 1–25 in Golf World, 3 for 26–50, 2 for 51–75, 1 for 76–100; 1 point for the Top 100 in GOLF; 1 point per award at the World Golf Awards. In the event of a tie, the resort with the higher Golf World ranking takes precedence. Resorts without any awards are then ranked based on their courses. This ranking is reviewed annually.
Fred’s Take
Los Cabos has become Mexico's golf capital: Diamante, Palmilla, and Quivira—all just minutes apart—make for an unforgettable stay. In the Riviera Maya, Mayakoba and El Camaleón remain the top choices.
