Country Club de Chapala

It is a 9-hole golf course which was easy to find. It was founded by a bunch of ex-pats with the help of the state government back in 1955. The clubhouse was clean and welcoming, and the staff was amiable and helpful, all of them understand English and a few can speak it fluently. The menu at the clubhouse is acceptable and the food is above average. The changing facilities were very satisfying. The pro shop office needs some improvement but the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

The practice facilities are above average and the caddies are well trained but need help with their uniforms.

The course is in good condition but needs improvement at the tee boxes and the signage, some of the yardage signs are hard to read and a few hole numbers are conflicting. The fairways, greens, and bunkers are well-maintained.

The membership and the governing board are mostly composed of ex-pats who live around the golf course.

The cost of the 18-hole round is about $75.00 USD during the morning and $40.00 USD after 1400 hrs. You can ask one of the ex-pats to help you with a member's pass where you will only pay $25.00 USD. They also sell 10-round booklets.
