Las Parotas Golf Huatulco
About this course
Las Parotas Golf Huatulco occupies a distinctive coastal setting in Tangolunda, along Oaxaca's Pacific shoreline in southern Mexico. Designed by Mexican architect Agustin Piza, the course takes its name from the parota trees native to the region and integrates the natural tropical landscape into its routing. The property sits within the Bahías de Huatulco development area, where the terrain combines rolling hills with views toward the bay and surrounding vegetation characteristic of Mexico's southern coast. The layout navigates varied elevation changes and incorporates the existing topography rather than imposing dramatic reshaping on the land. Players encounter holes that move through corridors of native trees and vegetation, with the routing offering occasional glimpses of the Pacific. The design reflects Piza's approach to working with natural landforms and preserving the character of the site, a philosophy evident in several of his courses throughout Mexico. Las Parotas serves both resort visitors and local members in a region better known for its beaches than its golf infrastructure. The course provides a relatively accessible option for golfers traveling to Huatulco, which remains less developed for golf than destinations like Los Cabos or the Riviera Maya. The club operates in a warm climate year-round, with conditions influenced by the tropical coastal environment and seasonal rainfall patterns typical of the Oaxacan coast.

Getting there
The journey to Las Parotas Golf Huatulco begins at Huatulco International Airport, a compact coastal gateway that sits just fifteen minutes from the resort grounds along the Bahías de Huatulco. The brief transfer follows the curve of Highway 200, where the Sierra Madre del Sur descends sharply to meet the Pacific, offering glimpses of turquoise bays and dense tropical canopy. As the road winds into Tangolunda - the most refined of Huatulco's nine bays - the landscape opens to reveal manicured fairways carved into the hillside, signaling arrival at one of Oaxaca's most secluded championship layouts.
