Golf Club of Yucatán

Could you please forward this to the appropriate person who could advise me as to what the monthly membership fees will be for this winter for visitors.
Mucho gracias!

I live there in la Ceiba, membership is 8,000 Pesos annually + a monthly fee of 3,000 pesos. I'm not sure they have temporary memberships for just a few months, but I can ask next time I go play.

The prices indicated per game in this article are still correct:
Prices for a round of golf:
Green Fee: $1250
Golf Cart: $400
Clubs: $280
All prices in pesos.

I am also going to be in Merida for month of Feb and wondering if it will be worth it to bring clubs. Price per round as posted seems too steep, but if there is a monthly rate which would make cost per round more reasonable I would consider it. I see others are thinking along the same lines but have not seen a response yet. Help!

I've asked the administration and here are the membership options:

1. Lifetime membership which is 40,000 pesos one time + 3,000 pesos a month (includes access to your spouse and children).

2. Yearly membership, which is 8,000 pesos per year and 3,000 pesos per month (includes access to your spouse and children).

3. Pay-per-game

4. Maria Jose Puerto, membership administrator, confirmed a price of 3,300 pesos per person / month for temporary membership. So that would be 6,600 for a couple. Doesn't include cart or clubs. Gives you same access as a regular full time member.

You need an address here and a "comprobante de domicilio" which is an electricity or phone bill of your address in Mexico. I know it's obvious but just to make it clear, membership is not required when you pay per game. Nine holes is around 750 pesos I believe. Prices indicated in this article are still up to date.

You do not need a membership to use the driving range. Price is 35 pesos for a bucket of 50 balls. Balls are not included even when you have a membership. They let you practice out of the carpet so you can practice with real divots, hard lie or rough.

Dress code is quite relaxed for a private club, shorts allowed, I’ve seen a lot of people playing with the polo untucked and I even use clean cargos and untucked during very hot days for comfort due to the extreme climate during the summer months.

Note that there's an excellent driving range as well in Merida called Golf Zone that will lend you clubs and it has bar service, so no need to go La Ceiba if you only want to practice and enjoy a cold drink.

Great description. Thanks it is what I was looking for

The "comprobante de domicilio" doesn't need be under your name, it can be a phone or electricity bill from the house you're renting and most owners should provide it to you without problems.

Please note that this was a requirement for a full time membership, pretty sure that their rules regarding this requirement may be more slack regarding temporary visitors.

To make sure, I would give them a call, the phone number is on the web page. You should be able to find someone to help you in english. There's quite a lot of tourists playing during the winter months I don't see why they would restrict themselves of additional income by being strict with the snowbirds.

many many thanks for this info, I will be working out of Ciudad del Carmen but fully intend to spend week ends playing golf att this club I think the fees for a year are very good for such great looking facilities, do they have a hotel on site such that I can stay locally?

Hi...my mother is visiting me in Merida until the end of May and she wanted to play a round or two every week or so. I of course took her to Le Cieba to check out the facility and get the prices. We met with the manager, Mr Perez and he gave my mom a little tour of the course. When we asked about playing on the course he stated that we MUST become a member at a cost (because my mom would only be playing from Sept to May each year) for a lifetime membership of 35,000.00 pesos and a monthly fee of 1250.00 pesos, she would then have access to the entire facility but I don't believe it included a cart,(this was for part of the year only). We were never told that she could "play by the day" at any time during our meeting. I am very courious about who the you have received your info from Steve? I have tried to contact Mr Perez again since reading the posts here but have been unable to speak with him and he has not returned my calls. There was never a mention of having to prove my residency or provide a CFE bill or other utility bill. Do you know how I can get an accurate fee schedule? Many thanks!

Steve, thank you again for replying to my inquire. I will again call La Cieba regarding the cost of the green fee's. I might not have received all the information from Mr. Perez when we were there. Perhaps he assumed that we were interested in the membership cost and nothing else. I live in Merida year round and my mother will be visiting in the winter months only every year, so paying by the game would be best for her. Thank you again for all the information.
Sincerely,
Terry T.

I have been told that LaCeiba has a discounted rate for 18 holes after 2 P.M..Is that true ?We have a group of 6 to 8 golfers that want to play at
least once or twice a month but don't have memberships to LaCeiba.We are
seasonal residents but our wives don't play so joining wouldn't work for us ,if the memberships are per couple.Can you please confirm the afternoon rates.
Thank You
