Golf is Global in Mérida
A Nicklaus Masterpiece Amid Mayan Ruins
The centerpiece of Mérida’s golf scene is the Jaguar Golf Course at Yucatán Country Club, an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus–designed layout winding through four lakes, five natural cenotes, and ancient Mayan archaeological vestiges. It’s widely celebrated as the best golf course in Mexico and Latin America.
