Back
Mexico's best golf courses are spread throughout the country, but most Americans are only interested in where to play in the tourist hotbeds of Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas and Cancun/Riviera Maya.
Your fellow golfers can help point you in the right direction. GolfPass releases a Top 25 Public Golf Courses in Mexico every January thanks to YOU. We create our annual Golfers' Choice lists by curating the reviews submitted by everyday golfers. We use GolfPass' Ratings Index logic that weights newer reviews and combine it with a course's subcategory averages.
Each course needed at least two reviews and at least some public access to qualify. Mexico City is one of the largest cities in Latin America, although many of the best public golf courses in Mexico are located elsewhere. Jack Nicklaus signature golf courses are prominent in Cabo's desert golf scene and well represented in our top 25.
We make our Golfers' Choice best-of lists user friendly. Simply click on the photo of each course to learn more about the facility or to book a tee time (in most cases).

What they're saying: "We do not get the chance to play with caddies often. El Cid is a course that still offer caddie services and they are great. The overall staff service and caddie service always make the experience a really fun one and it is hard to beat what they offer with what they charge. We stayed at one of their El Cid resorts on a Mazatlan Golf Package, and we were able to play unlimited golf on three different layouts with a great All inclusive food and beverage hotel plan for a really good price. We are definitely coming back." - AlonsoChih -

Vidanta Golf Los Cabos
Green fee: $119-$185
What they're saying: "I booked this course as an in between and to my surprise I found myself playing it again the following morning. The hardest part was finding the entrance. The place was humming with activity and even though it’s only nine holes it was extremely fun, my girlfriend and I played it twice on both days. The $30 food/drink fee was well worth the price as the food (was) amazing along with all the staff. Hats off to the ladies on the grill." - golfvip -
Riviera Cancun Golf Club
Green fee: $155-$200
What they're saying: "We loved this course, although we both lost a lot of balls in the water. The fairways and greens are beautiful. The bunkers are terrible as there is virtually no sand in them, but who cares on vacation: ever heard of a free drop :-) We got a special deal with Golf Now and even enjoyed the all inclusive experience that would normally have cost three times as much. Free drinks and snacks during the round and a lovely 3 course à la carte cooked lunch after the round with good wine and spirits. We will be back!!!" - charlesstuart -
