Tres Marias Golf Club
Tres Marias Residential Golf Club is a 27 hole golf club and residence located in the city of Morelia which is situated in the Western State of Michoacán, Mexico. The Tres Marias Golf course was designed by American golfer and course designer Jack Nicklaus and built in 2002. The Tres Marias Residential Golf Club extends 550 hectares and is covered by a terrain of cliffs, lakes, and rivers. The name "Tres Marias" was given to the golf club as a result of the formation of three rocks in rock monoliths that represent the natural beauty and development of the South-Western Mexican region.
In 2005, the Tres Marias Golf Club gained international recognition by hosting the prestigious LPGA Corona Championship. The women's golf championship has thus been held every year at Tres Marias during the second week of April. Mexican female golfer Lorena Ochoa won the LPGA Championship in 2006, 2008, 2009, and has greatly contributed to the successful popularity of the Tres Marias Golf Club and the increase of golf enthusiasts in Mexico.
The Tres Marias Residential Golf club also serves as a luxurious community with gated housing and security for Mexican Nationals and Foreign residents.
