Mexico is an exciting golf holiday destination, with championship courses, five star resorts, white sand beaches and brilliant hospitality. At Chaka Travel, we use top golf and top hotels to create custom holidays. Here is our guide to planning a Mexico golf trip.
Why Choose Mexico For Your Next Golf Holiday?
You can expect top course designs, warm weather all year-round and beachfront resorts. Many properties offer amazing dining, spa and leisure facilities, making them ideal for both golfers and non-golfers.
The country offers excellent value, culture, wellness and adventure. If you prefer busy nightlife or quiet privacy, there is somewhere to match that.
Mexico’s Stand-Out Golf Regions
Riviera Maya & Cancun
This area is ideal for beach lovers and anyone who enjoys a lively resort. Expect clear waters, white sand beaches and a selection of all inclusive hotels. Courses are usually carved through jungles and mangroves, with natural water features. You can also explore Mayan sites such as Tulum and Chichen Itza as day trips. A stay here may include morning tee times, followed by relaxed afternoons by the beach or pool and evenings in an a la carte restaurant of your choice.
Los Cabos
Los Cabos is ideal for serious golfers. There are amazing sites here, where the desert meets the ocean, meaning courses have elevation changes and sea views. The region is home to some top course layouts, hotels and villas. As well as golf, there are activities such as:
- Whale watching (in season)
- Deep sea fishing
- Top dining in Cabo San Lucas
Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Nayarit
For authenticity and relaxation, Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit are good for you. Lush mountains cover the coastline and courses range from resort layouts to semi-private clubs. Puerto Vallarta’s old town has cobbled streets and a traditional Mexican feel, while nearby villages are more centred around the beach. This region is excellent for golf with sailing, surfing or spa days.
Mexico’s Golf Courses - What To Expect
A lot of Mexico’s best golf courses are attached to or partnered with luxury resorts. This means convenient access, preferred tee times for guests and shared facilities such as high end clubhouses, spas and beach clubs. Dedicated golf packages can include green fees, buggies and range access, which helps with budgeting and planning.
Course styles are varied, from coastal layouts with ocean views, to jungle and mangrove designs with vegetation and natural water features and desert courses full of cacti. Let us know your handicap and we can recommend the courses that suit your game.
When To Travel
- The peak season runs from December to April, with the most reliable weather & ideal conditions for winter sun
- May-June & October-November offer fewer crowds and good value
- The rainy period around July-September typically features short showers but playable conditions & lower pricing
Different coasts experience different patterns, so we will guide you towards the best region and dates based on your priorities.
