 In
its colonial cities México has a silver heart. These are
a living portrait of the poetic epoch that was the viceregal age.
The pace of these towns is carved stone, their feet are their plazas,
from their mouths they speak the language of the mestizo. Their
pride is knowing how to receive the visitor with open-hearted provincial
generosity. The golfer has to make a choice, or perhaps choose them
all, since these lands have been around for centuries awaiting the
construction of a golf course. The work of regional craftsmen inspired
the designers, who sculpted courses from the fertile fields with
a technical and scenic beauty that would be hard to match. All that
remains is to prove it, visiting these cities that also offer history,
tradition, cuisine, customs and scenery which includes magnificent
sunsets. The golf courses of San Miguel de Allende, Querétaro,
San Luis Potosí and Zacatecas grant favors to those who know
how to earn them and golfers try no to miss their putts while admiring
the view.The many hotels in the colonial cities are former haciendas
with colorful vegetation and flowers such as bougainvilleas, which
cover the aged walls. The cobbled lanes of these small cities invite
wanderers on quiet, romantic ambles to reach the shops beneath the
arches, the charming churches, cafes, craft boutiques and restaurants
serving surprising regional dishes, a pleasant walk, safe and convenient
for golfer's wives who will be delighted they accompanied their
husbands to this dreamland. They will always find something to do.
