Bosque Real Country Club

The Executive Course at Bosque Real Country Club is a short-format layout designed by Gary Nicklaus, located in Huixquilucan in the hills west of Mexico City. The course serves as a complement to the club's championship layout, offering a quicker round on terrain that shares the property's characteristic elevation changes and views across the Valle de México. Gary Nicklaus, son of Jack Nicklaus and a designer in his own right, has worked on several projects in Mexico and Latin America, bringing a focus on playability and strategic variety even within the constraints of shorter yardages. Bosque Real is a master-planned residential and golf community developed in the early 2000s, positioned in the forested uplands of Mexico State where cooler temperatures and pine-studded landscapes distinguish the setting from the urban sprawl below. The Executive Course takes advantage of this topography, incorporating elevation shifts and natural contours into holes that, while abbreviated in length, still require thoughtful club selection and course management. The layout is designed to accommodate players seeking practice, a quick nine or eighteen holes, or an introduction to the game in a less intimidating format. The club caters to an affluent membership drawn from Mexico City's business and professional communities, with facilities that reflect the broader Bosque Real development's emphasis on lifestyle amenities. The Executive Course functions as both a training ground and a recreational option within a club environment that balances competitive golf with family and social use.
