Club de Golf de Yucatán
In the beautiful gate-guarded community of La Ceiba, located just north of the Mérida city limits, lies the golf course serving our area. Built on what was once the grounds of the Mayan ruins of Dzbilchaltun (right next door), the Club de Golf offers monthly memberships (up to three months) which entitles you to use all of their facilities such as equipment rental, carts and caddies. You may also enjoy the open or covered tennis courts, a large pool, gym, steam rooms and a restaurant and bar open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There is also a putting green, driving range, and a pro shop. Call 922.0053 or 922.0071 for reservations.
