Tijuana Country Club
The Tijuana Country Club golf course was built in 1948. Designed by Allister McKenzie for golfers of all skill levels. The geography of the region has altered dramatically in the past 5 decades and the golf course is now located in the middle of the city. There is virtually no water; however there are over 100 well-placed sand traps.
The Tijuana Country Club has a long tradition dating back to 1927 and was originally part of the Agua Caliente Club complex that became popular for Gringos traveling south across the border during prohibition. What may be even more surprising is that the legendary golf course designer Dr. Alister Mackenzie redesigned the original course in 1932 from the original design of William Bell from 1927.
Another interesting part of the Campestre story is the long list of famous names and personalities from professional golf, sports, Hollywood, business and politics who have walked the 18 holes. The Agua Caliente Open was routinely broadcast via radio into the US in its early days and attracted all of the big names of golf at the time. Gene Sarazen, one of only five golfers ever to win the career grand slam in golf majors, won the open event in Tijuana back in 1930.
One of the real highlights of playing Campestre are the caddies. I love to walk the course and having them carry your bag as well as offering tips in course management and the right break on the greens makes even this seasoned hacker feel like a pro on the PGA tour for a day. Both carts and caddies are available for rent.
30 minutes north from Las Gaviotas, directly in the middle of Tijuana on Agua Caliente Blvd just a few blocks north of the race track. Green Fees $53-64 including cart. Blue Tees - Par 72, 6859 yds, Slope 125, rating 71.9.
