Best Golf Courses in Mexico - Any Recommendations?

I’m planning a trip to Mexico and would love to hit some great golf courses while I’m there. From what I’ve heard, Mexico has some incredible options, but I’d like to get a curated list from fellow golf enthusiasts.

Key Points to Consider:

  • Course Quality: Which courses have the best conditions?
  • Scenic Views: Are there courses with breathtaking scenery?
  • Resorts or Standalone: Should I look for golf resorts, or are there great public courses?
  • Affordability: I’m also curious about pricing. What should I budget for a round?

My Preferences:

  • I enjoy a mix of challenging courses and those that are a bit more relaxed.
  • Ideally, I’m looking for locations along the coasts or areas with stunning landscapes.
  • Recommendations for having a good time both on and off the course would greatly help too, as I’m planning this trip primarily for leisure!

Could anyone share their experiences or recommend specific courses? Any insights on the best ones would be appreciated! Looking forward to your suggestions!

Hey everyone! I’m planning a golf trip in Mexico and would love some recommendations on the best courses to play. What are your favorites?

One of the best courses is Club de Golf Chapultepec in Mexico City. It’s pretty challenging but the greens are fantastic!

If you’re heading to Cancun, check out El Camaleón Golf Club. The views are stunning and it’s a fun course to play!

I totally agree! Chapultepec is a great choice. I also recommend the Mayakoba course for its unique layout and wildlife.

Has anyone played at the Punta Mita Golf Club? I’ve heard the experience there is amazing, but is it worth the cost?

I’ve played at Punta Mita and it’s definitely pricey, but the scenery and service are top-notch! You won’t regret it.

Also, don’t miss out on the TPC Dorado Beach if you’re in Puerto Rico! Not exactly Mexico, but worth the detour for great golf!

Funny you mention that, Valeriewilson! I might need to sneak in some Puerto Rico golf while I’m down there! :joy:

What about the difficulty level of these courses, everyone? I’m a mid-handicapper looking for a fair challenge.

I’d say El Camaleón is forgiving, while Chapultepec can be tough for mid-handicappers. Balance is key!

After considering all these options, I think I might need a golf coach for my Mexico trip! Any tips on that?

If you’re looking for the best golf courses in Mexico, I’d recommend Cabo San Lucas. The weather is perfect in the fall, and courses like Cabo del Sol are stunning.

I totally agree, but don’t forget about Playa del Carmen! The golf there is incredible, especially El Camaleón.

Make sure to plan your trip during the dry season, which is from November to April. This will ensure you get the best golfing experience without worrying about rain.

Absolutely! Also, consider your flight logistics. Many direct flights go to Cancun, which makes it easy to access various courses along the Riviera Maya.
