Bosques (Alternate Tees) at Club de Golf Bosques

Club de Golf Bosques sits in the western reaches of Mexico City, where Jack Nicklaus designed a course that takes advantage of the area's natural terrain and mature tree cover. The layout works through rolling ground at approximately 7,500 feet elevation, a factor that affects both distance and playing conditions throughout the year. The Bosques name, meaning "forests" in Spanish, reflects the wooded character that frames many holes and defines the routing's corridors.

Nicklaus incorporated his characteristic strategic design elements here, with multiple tee positions that allow the course to play at varying lengths and challenge levels. The alternate tees provide flexibility for different skill levels and playing conditions, a feature common in Nicklaus designs from this era. Water features appear on several holes, and the bunkering follows his preference for clearly visible hazards that reward precise shot-making. The elevation creates natural movement in the fairways and greens, adding dimension to approach shots and short game decisions.

The club serves a membership drawn from Mexico City's business and professional community. Bosques has hosted various Mexican national championships and regional tournaments over the years, contributing to competitive golf in the capital region. The course remains a private facility, maintaining its conditioning and playability year-round despite the challenges of high-altitude turf management. The setting offers a contrast to the urban density of Mexico City, providing a wooded retreat within the metropolitan area.
