One of the most picturesque golf courses in all of Mexico, the Palma Real Golf Club allows visitors to indulge in a challenging game, while partaking of some of the most breathtaking panoramas the country has to offer.
The golf club, which is also locally known as the Ixtapa Golf Club, was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and is rated as a championship level course, which has hosted competitive events of international acclaim. Spread over 72 hectares of rolling greens and even a coconut plantation, the golf course eases into the sun kissed shores of the Pacific Ocean. The 18-hole, par-72 course, has very irregular slopes, which make teeing off it, all the more exciting and demanding to seasoned pros. Even if you aren't a golfing enthusiast per se, a visit to the golf course will still be well worth your while on account of the exotic species of birds that are found here. What's more, the course also encompasses three large lagoons which are home to several crocodiles!
Given the unique atmosphere which golfers at the Palma Real are privy to, it is hardly surprising to know that the course welcomes over 250 visitors a day. So, if you are looking to beat the crowd, you may want to visit early in the morning and beat the hot tropical sun, while making the most of the refreshing ocean breeze. There is also a pro shop where you can stock up on equipment, apparel and even golfing accessories. You can also seek the tutelage of some of the most renowned names in golf and hone your teeing skills under their expert eye. The cub also offers you golf carts and caddy service to step onto the greens in style, while the snack bars which are located at hole 4 and hole 14, offer excellent nibbles to refuel between games.
The Club also features two illuminated tennis courts of a professional level for the veteran players, while novices can work on their game in the two paddle tennis courts. All of these courts are professionally built and are maintained in impeccable condition.
All if all, if you are looking for a game of golf or tennis which will earn you an experience to cherish for a lifetime, then the Palma Real Golf and Tennis Club is a must visit on your next trip to Ixtapa. The Club is open to visitors from 7 am to 7 pm, all through the week.
