About this course

Club de Golf Chapultepec occupies a wooded hillside site in Naucalpan de Juarez, just northwest of Mexico City. The course was designed by Percy Clifford and opened in 1921, making it one of the oldest golf clubs in Mexico. Clifford, a Canadian architect who worked extensively in North America during the early twentieth century, routed the layout across rolling terrain that features significant elevation changes and mature tree cover. The property sits at approximately 7,500 feet above sea level, which affects both ball flight and playing conditions. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography, with holes moving through corridors of pine and eucalyptus trees. Elevation shifts create uphill and downhill shots throughout the round, and several holes offer views across the surrounding valley. The design reflects the strategic principles common to courses built in the 1920s, with relatively compact greens and an emphasis on position off the tee. The tree-lined character demands accuracy, particularly on approach shots where missing fairways or greens often means playing recovery shots from sloped lies. Chapultepec has hosted numerous Mexican national championships and professional events over the decades, serving as an important venue in the country's competitive golf calendar. The club maintains a traditional membership culture rooted in Mexico City's established families and business community. The clubhouse and facilities reflect the club's long history, with dining and social traditions that have evolved over more than a century of operation.
