Golfing in Mexico: Bring your balls and exchange your money at the airport
Saturday June 25, 2005 | 01:57:59 183 words, 2890 views
A recent golfing trip through Mexico once again illustrated the folly of leaving home without enough golf balls. I ran into several golfers who told me stories of shelling out $100 for 24 balls (and these were the kind of cheapies you can usually get 24 for $24 in the states). If your bag’s not stocked when you leave home, expect to get socked. It’s also a good idea to exchange some money in the airport. While everyone will eagerly take U.S. dollars in Mexico, you’ll lose a sufficient amount in this unofficial exchange rate game. The airport’s the best place to get something official because there are not as many ATMs as you’re used to in Mexico. I stayed at the Iberostar, the poshest resort in Riveria Maya (Cancun area), and they didn’t have a single money machine in the entire complex. Four connected hotels that effectively made up their own tourist town. Endless beaches. Almost 20 restaurants. An ice cream shop over the pool. Salsa classes. No ATMs. It’s a fun world, it just doesn’t have all the conveniences you may have grown dependent on. Comments:

Don't leave without seeing Chichen Itza. It'll blow your mind.

If you like golf in Mexico check out Huatulco in the state of Oaxaca. There is a very nice 18 hole course there, it was relativly new we I was down there 2years ago. It was in great shape they have carts,caddies, a small bar Tennis courts and margaritas to go. It was $65.00 (USA)
back then and the course was wide open. We shot 18 then went to the marina near by and fished for tuna A great way to spend the day.
