Best port to Golf on Mexican Riviera cruise?

[tlftlf]

Anyone have suggestions on the best port to golf in that is reasonably priced and not hard to get to from where we dock?

 

Thanks in advance.

My DH took the ship's (Carnival Spirit) golf tours in Acapulco and Ixtapa. He said they were both fabulous.

 

He is planning to take the Carnival Sensation's golf tours in Puerta Vallarta, Matzlan and Cabo when she comes to the west coast.

 

All these ports have good golf, but since he was with a tour, the golf pro took care of everything. Not sure how far away the 1st two were. I think he said about 20-30 minute ride.

Hi tlftlf,

I have golfed Cabo Del Sol in Cabo and Estrella Del Mar In Mazatlan.

Both wonderful couses, my favorite being Cabo.

 

You can taxi from the pier in Cabo to the course, and save some money by internet booking your tee time beforehand, however on both occaisions I booked thru the cruise ship (carnival and Princess).

 

I wouldnt attempt the Mazatlan courses on your own, kinda a long way thru the desert to get there but still well worth it.

 

I am planning golfing in Acapulco and Manzanillo in Feb. and would also appreciate any feedback.

 

Just type if you want more info.

I have heard Cabo is one of the best places to golf in the world. I guess they have several incredible courses.

Hi again tlftlf,

 

I forgot to mention that I always take my own clubs, saves money and I cant blame the rentals for crappy shots! (although the rentals are usually better than my own ! NIKE and Callaway ). nevertheless its handy to have your own stuff you are comfortable with if your playing a world class course.

Hi Tom,

My husband, Phil, is planning on playing at Cabo del Sol in February. Which course did you play - the desert or the ocean?

Would you mind sharing the web link to arrange a tee time, too?

Thanks!

Hi Imagine1

 

I dont have the link but if you google http://www.teetimesmexico.com

that will get you there!

 

I golfed the desert course and it was wonderful, lots of views of the ocean and kept in first class condition. I'm sure the ocean course is every bit as nice.

 

The clubhouse has good food and is relatively new , you cant go wrong!

 

have a great cruise,

 

Tom

Thanks, Tom! I think my husband is partial to the desert course because of what he's read about it. Hasn't decided whether to take his own clubs or not but either way it sounds like he'll make out okay.
