Huatulco Golf
Tangolunda Golf Course, which is also know as Campo de Golf Tangolunda, has been hailed as one of Mexico’s best golf courses. Located in a breathtaking tropical forest zone & surrounded by three beautiful lakes; all concentrated in an area of 72.5 hectares! In total, the course stretches 6,851 yards down Tangolunda Valley to the Bay, and is a government owned golf course.
The Tangolunda golf course is the only course in the region and was officially inaugurated in 1991. Designed by Mario Schjetnan Dantan and Pedro Güereca, this breathtaking course features lots of open spaces, wide paths, and breathtaking scenic views. The course offers a very relaxed atmosphere, and there is no strict dress attire required. Traveler reviews are mixed depending on skill level but on average - the course proves to offer moderate challenge and beautiful surroundings.

TEE TIMES & COSTS
The first tee off time at the Tangolunda golf course is nice, bright and early at 7:00 am. The last tee off time to play a full 18 holes would be just after noon, but as long as you show up before 2:30, the club will generally let you play out your full round into the sunset hours, which in winter is usually around 6:00. The restaurant and the pro-shop close at 4:00 pm, but the bar is open later for guests just finishing off their round.
To book a tee time, you can call the course directly at (if calling internationally) 011.52.958.581.0037 - locally, you dial 958.581.0037.
COSTS
The cost of a round depends on which season you visit in, but is either 650 pesos or 800 pesos/person + 340 pesos for a cart. In all, the round will cost you about $60- $80 USD plus a caddie if you choose to hire one but this isn’t mandatory. A caddie is around 200 pesos. You can also rent a pull cart for only 115 pesos. Here is a full price list:
- Green Fees for 18- holes: $650 pesos (about $45 USD) from May 2, 2008 - Nov 15, 2008
- Green Fees for 18- holes: $800 pesos (about $55 USD) from Nov 16, 2008 - May 1, 2009

- Caddie: $200 - $300 pesos plus tip (about $14 - $20 USD plus tip)
- Club rental (Falcon) : $180 pesos (about $12 USD)
Most travelers recommend bringing your own clubs as the rentals are not the best - they are “Falcon”. But it’s up to you whether you want to lug them down there with you. Club rentals will cost you 180 pesos.
All in all, the prices are extremely affordable, plus if you stay at one of the nearby Huatulco resorts you could receive a discount for the green fees (usually between 20% - 30%). In order to get your discount, visit your resort concierge and ask for the “discount coupon” for the golf course and make sure you show the coupon to the staff at the pro-shop. Note that not all resorts offer discounts so it’s best to check with your resort before traveling.
