Greater Mexico City Area: the calmest spots near the metropolis
Golfing might not be the first thing coming to mind when one thinks about gigantic Mexico City. However, as one of the largest cities in the world, it literally has something for everyone.
Whether in the Greater Mexico City area for business or vacation, a golfing escape is a great way to free your mind from the bustle of this vibrant metropolis. And here is the best part: some of the best grounds in the country are located right outside the capital, within a 90min. driving range from downtown. Although many clubs in this area are reserved to their sole members, the courses listed here are opened to visitors. Be prepared to experience the finest in fairways, in the mountainous scenery of the Valley of Mexico.
Though all the following courses are within reach for a one-day golf outing, many offer medium-to-long term accommodations, such as condos and apartments which are available for those who want to enjoy a longer golf vacation. |
