Atlas Country Club

Overview: Atlas Country Club is an 18-hole par-72 course in El Salto on the Guadalajara-Chapala corridor. The club credits American architect Joseph Finger and lists 7,169 yards from the black tees, with multiple tee options for different levels of play. Its long-running country-club setting gives the course a traditional parkland profile, while the tee selection allows the same routing to be approached as a demanding championship test or a more manageable member round.

History: The course opened in 1970 and has since been part of Atlas’s wider sporting community in Jalisco. The club’s annual golf tournament has become a major recurring event, with the 56th edition scheduled for 2026. That continuity matters to the course’s identity: Atlas is not a newly built resort layout marketed around one season, but an established club whose golf history is reinforced by generations of members and a recurring competitive calendar.

Did You Know? Atlas’s official tournament material identifies holes 4, 7, 14 and 17 as the course’s hole-in-one holes for the 2026 annual event. Those four par-three targets have become part of the tournament’s tradition, with special prizes attached to them. The detail offers a glimpse of how the course is experienced locally: not only as an 18-hole test, but also as the stage for a large, highly social amateur competition.
