Club de Golf Los Tabachines

Los Tabachines sits in Cuernavaca, the capital of Morelos state, roughly an hour south of Mexico City. The city's elevation of approximately 5,000 feet provides a temperate climate year-round, earning Cuernavaca its long-standing nickname as the "City of Eternal Spring." Percy Clifford designed the course, contributing to Mexico's mid-twentieth-century golf development when a number of international architects worked in the country's growing resort and residential communities. The layout occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region's volcanic geography, with mature trees—including the flowering tabachines (royal poinciana) that give the club its name—lining fairways and framing holes. The course serves a membership drawn largely from Cuernavaca's local community and weekend residents from Mexico City who maintain homes in the area's favorable climate. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes, offering a mix of uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies across the round. Club de Golf Los Tabachines functions as a traditional private club with social and dining facilities that complement the golf course. The setting reflects Cuernavaca's broader appeal as a retreat destination, combining golf with the city's gardens, colonial architecture, and cultural attractions. While not a tournament venue on the national or international stage, the course provides a regional golf option within Morelos state and serves as an alternative to the more widely known courses in the Mexico City metropolitan area.
