Golf South Of The Border Unrivaled
If you are one of the many people who have been attracted to Mexico and its being the center of the golf community, then you might be interested in this bit of history as to how the golf community started in Mexico:
Taking a trip to Mexico to play golf is not just a golf trip; it is an educational, cultural experience. A land steeped in history and culturally vibrant, Mexico offers a lot more than your usual golf course and resort.
During the 19th century, an Englishman first laid the foundations for what is now a bustling golfing community in Mexico. However, it did not immediately stick until the 70s, when Robert von Hagge went to the south of the border. He has developed 11 residential golf resorts, and is set to build more over the next few years.
The Golden Bear, or Jack Nicklaus, designed his very first course in Mexico in 1992. He is known for creating some of the best Mexico golf courses in the whole of Latin America.
More and more designers are trying to top each other to create the ultimate golf course and resort paradise. More and more luxury resorts are being built, to accompany these beautiful golf courses. Down south, Greg Norman has to his name three courses.
Needless to say, Mexico is fast becoming an ideal place to play golf outside of Canada and the United States. This is based on the statistics, which show that 750,000 Canadians and Americans are visiting Mexicos golf courses. It is also ideal because of its proximity to these countries.
Today, there are over 150 golf courses in Mexico, which are considered the best in the world. Not only that, but Mexicos breathtaking coastlines, friendly climate, world-class facilities and 5-star resorts make it a golfers paradise.
And Mexicos gorgeous locations will only have the top architects continuing to visualize, design and create new and exciting golf courses to meet the demand of the ever-increasing tourists.
