Punta Mita opens national amateur golf tournament

Competition sessions began at courses in the bay area, with athletes in the veterans category from various states of Mexico taking part in the national tournament.

The official inauguration took place on October 23, 2026, at the Punta Mita facilities. That ceremony marked the opening of the course for the national tournament, while executive Roberto Santa Cruz performed the symbolic opening shot. The shot formally began the qualifying rounds on the coastal courses.

The athletic competitions seek to strengthen the coastline’s image as a suitable place to host international-level competitions throughout the year. Tourism-sector specialists said that holding competitions at this level helps position the entity’s recreational infrastructure in specialized circuits.

The relevant government agencies seek to attract a segment of high-income visitors and reactivate the economy in the food-service and lodging sectors. The public administration strengthens value chains linked to local inbound services by diversifying leisure options. Tournament organizers project that the sports delegations’ stay will generate benefits for hospitality-industry workers in the Pacific coastal region.

For a visitor following the event, the practical starting point is Punta Mita, where the October 23 inauguration took place.
