México Golf School – Host Course

Club de Golf Malinalco

Club de Golf MalinalcoClub de Golf Malinalco is located approximately 90 minutes drive southwest of México City. The golf course construction at Malinalco was completed in eleven months, which was a record in México, where the typical course takes two to three years to build.

This 18 hole, par 72 course features dramatic elevation changes, strategically placed bunkers, fescue fairways and undulating bent grass greens. At 7000 ft above sea-level, the ball flies much further and the course plays a little shorter than the 7151 yards marked on the scorecard from the back tees. Forward tees put the holes well within reach of higher handicappers.

Considered by many to be the best in México, Malinalco was selected to host the 1993 Mexican PGA tournament. In addition, the Mexican Golf Federation holds a very prestigious annual amateur tournament at Malinalco, with invitees from Mexico and South America. Malinalco is also the site for an annual Diplomat tournament, hosted each year by a different country’s Ambassador to Mexico.

With the vivid bougainvillea flowers and mountains framing every hole, Club de Golf Malinalco provides both a scenic and challenging test of golf. Green fees for Golf School Students is $50 with cart.
