Golf in Rocky Point
Enjoy your stay at the beach with golf in Rocky Point! Rocky Point is home to three championship golf courses. Two of the area courses are Jack Nicklaus’ signature designs, while a third in town is the only true links course in northwestern Mexico.
Golf in Rocky Point: Getting there from Encantame Towers
Golf aficionados can easily access each of Rocky Point’s golf courses right from Encántame Towers. One of the most challenging 72-par courses in the region is located just east of Encántame Towers. A second course north of the city is home to a sprawling back-9 winding around dunes and lagoons. Furthermore, the links course in town is sculpted over the impressive desert landscape.
The first Jack Nicklaus signature course is located to the east of Encantame Towers at Vidanta. This course opened in 2000 and is one of Mexico’s premiere courses. When exiting Encantame Resorts, turn right toward Highway 3. Continue on Highway 3 approximately 12 kilometers. The turn toward Vidanta will be on the right. Follow roadway to course.
The second Jack Nicklaus signature course consists of 9 pristine holes set in a landscape showcasing the sea and lagoons. From Encantame Towers, you can choose to turn left and go into Rocky Point and toward the Encantame Sales Office on Sandy Beach (near the windmills). For a more direct route, turn right upon exiting Encantame Resorts and then turn left after 1 mile. This will put you onto MX Highway 3 heading west. Continue straight and under the bridge (which goes under MX Highway 8). After the railroad tracks, continue straight to the traffic circle and once again go straight toward the Islas del Mar golf course.
To tee-off at the only links course in the region, head toward the Encantame Sales Office on Sandy Beach. If coming through Rocky Point, the entrance to The Links golf course will be on your left at the first traffic circle along this stretch. When entering Sandy Beach from the road off MX Highway 3 (near the windmills), take the second turn off the traffic circle near the Encantame Resorts Sales Office (heading east toward town). The entrance to The Links will be on your right at the next traffic circle.
Golf Getaway
Be sure to bring your clubs so you can hit the greens if you choose to take some time off from the beach. Stay tuned, as the west clubhouse at the entrance to Encántame Towers will soon have golf simulators so everyone can stay on top of their game while vacationing at the beach!
