Las Hadas at Las Hadas Golf Resort & Marina

Las Hadas occupies a dramatic hillside setting on the Pacific coast near Manzanillo, where Pete and Roy Dye routed the course across steep, jungle-covered terrain in the early 1970s. The layout was part of a larger resort development that helped establish Manzanillo as a leisure destination along Mexico's western shore. The Dyes worked with pronounced elevation changes and natural ravines, creating a design that moves through dense tropical vegetation with views of the bay and surrounding mountains. The routing requires careful navigation of the topography, and several holes play significantly uphill or downhill.

The course features the bold bunkering and strategic hazards characteristic of Pete Dye's work from this period, though the tropical setting and dramatic slopes give it a distinct character compared to his better-known American designs. Water comes into play on several holes, and the layout demands accuracy rather than length on many approach shots. The back nine includes holes that climb higher into the hillside before descending back toward the resort complex.

Las Hadas functions as part of a resort property that includes marina facilities and accommodations. The course serves both resort guests and outside play, offering a combination of challenging golf and coastal scenery. Maintenance and conditioning can vary with Mexico's tropical climate and seasonal weather patterns. The layout remains a notable example of the Dyes' international design work and one of the more dramatic golf settings along the Colima coast.
