Mazatlan Golf and Golf Courses
If you are into golf you will love the Mazatlan golf experience. Many great golf courses can be found throught the Mazatlan Area. Mazatlan Golf CoursesThe 27-hole course at El Cid, designed by Lee Trevino, is reserved for hotel patrons and their guests, and for members of the club. A John Jacobs golf school, the only one in Mexico, is also located at this course. A championship 18-hole golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones, is open to the public.
The newest course in Mazatlan is located at the Estrella del Mar Golf Club. This 18-hole golf course was also designed by Robert Trent Jones and includes a pro PGA on staff. There is also a bar, restaurant, and a club here at his golf paradise. Golf is getting big south of the border. It is a year-around sport and the professional golf courses now number more than 120. On some courses old haciendas double as clubhouses. In the past five years alone, five courses have opened up across the sea in Cabo San Lucas, two designed by Jack Nicklaus and one by Robert Trent Jones. Jr. And in Mazatlan, long known for sport fishing, golf is having a little boom. Two years ago in October, Estrella del Mar, an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course, opened along the Pacific Ocean, just 10 minutes south of the airport. And there are plans for a small 29-room hotel to open on the grounds, offering sea view rooms and a full round of golf for $100 a person, including the use of a cart. Mazatlan's best known golf course, the 18-hole El Cid, earlier this year added an additional 9-hole golf course designed by Lee Trevino. As beginners, however, we were toiling along just the front nine, which features a taco stand on the 8th tee. Golf is becoming a popular pass time in Mazatlan and many of the golf courses in Mazatlan will satisfy even the most avid golfers. |
