“Golf in Mexico has exploded, providing championship caliber golf with such designers as Robert von Hagge, Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Tom Weiskopf, and Roy Dye”, states Charles Kinder, Publisher of Best’s Golf Guides to Mexico. “We have chronicled the 20 billion dollar golf boom south of the border in our golf guides for 20 years, and it is these thirty courses that have helped make Mexico the #1 worldwide international golf destination for U.S. and Canadian golfers”.
Reigning in the number one position is the Cabo del Sol Ocean Course, a Jack Nicklaus masterpiece that winds through the Los Cabos desert and provides spectacular ocean views as it skirts its way along the blue Sea of Cortez. Isla Navidad Country Club near Manzanillo takes number two position for the excellent Robert von Hagge layout of 27 holes on the ocean and lagoon of Barra de Navidad. Number three is the jungle experience of El Tamarindo, where David Fleming carved out l8 holes from jungle to the ocean’s front, un-crowded with spectacular ocean views. Numbers four and five are located in Cabo; the private El Dorado Golf Course consisting of 7,322 yards, and the famous Palmilla Golf Club, the first Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course in Latin America.
