Aguascalientes

Aguascalientes is a landlocked state in Mexico's high central plateau, sitting roughly 6,000 feet above sea level — elevation that adds real carry distance to every shot and gives the air a crispness unusual for central Mexico. The city itself is one of the country's most livable and underrated mid-sized capitals, known for its thermal springs (the name translates to "hot waters"), colonial architecture, and the massive Festival de San Marcos fair each spring. Golf here is a local pursuit rather than a tourist industry, which tends to shape a club culture around members who genuinely love the game.
