The Tijuana Country Club (Club Campestre de Tijuana) is a country club located in Tijuana, Mexico. The country club was the site of the historic Agua Caliente Open and Tijuana Open Invitational, former golf tournaments on the PGA Tour.[1] The country club, as well as the accompanying golf course, is located in Boulevard Agua Caliente.

History[]

The golf course was originally designed in 1927 by William P. Bell.[2] Famous professional golf players like Gene Sarazen, Paul Runyan, Dutch Harrison, and Ernie Vossler have played at the club. Though the clientele has become increasingly Mexican over the years, it remains popular with golfers across the border in California.[3][4]

PGA Tour pro Cesar Sanudo was introduced to golf when he started working as a caddie at the club.[5]
