Chapultepec
Club de Golf Chapultepec is one of Mexico's older courses, but certainly not the oldest (that honour goes to Puebla GC, founded in 1897). This private golf club does however enjoy the honour of having hosted the first seven Mexican Open championships.
Close to the heart of Mexico's capital city, this well-maintained and stylishly bunkered parkland layout occupies gently undulating terrain. You'll need to drive accurately from the tee onto the relatively tight tree-lined fairways.
Mexico City's elevation (over 2,200 m above sea level) should take care of some of the course's 7,200 yards ... if you dare to go from the tips. Well worth a visit, providing you can secure that all important member invitation. (More detailed description to follow in due course).
Private club - guests can only play if hosted by a member.
Non-metal spike facility.
Good
Chapultepec has hosted several Mexican Open championship over the years, including 14 of the first 16 such championships between 1944 and 1960. In 2017 it also added a World Golf Championship event to its roll of honour.

South African Open: December 2021 events in South Africa have again been impacted by the Covid pandemic. The South African Open (Dec 2-5) will no longer be played as a DP World Tour event, and the Alfred Dunhill Championship (Dec 9-12) has been cancelled.
Who's Who:
Bernhard Langer: at age 64, Langer collected a record sixth Charles Schwab Cup, the only player to have won the season-long points chase more than twice. He also topped the PGA Tour Champions money-list for the 11th time out of a possible 13 since 2008.
Carlota Ciganda: the five-time Solheim Cup star was delighted to record a fourth Ladies European Tour win in her home national championship, the Ladies Spanish Open.
Lee Elder: Trailblazer, Ryder Cup player, four-time PGA Tour winner and eight-time Senior PGA Tour winner, Lee Elder died on November 28, aged 87. In 1975 he became the first African American golfer to play in the Masters tournament, and in so doing provided one of the pivotal moments in the history of professional golf.
