Campestre Izar

Overview: Campestre Izar is an 18-hole private course in Valle de Bravo, set beside the lake and surrounded by forest. Current course information lists par 72 and 6,265 yards from the longest published tees, with the layout occupying higher ground rather than running through a dense residential grid. The wooded setting gives the course a quieter character, while the lake and surrounding slopes provide changing views through the round. It is a course where the natural setting is not an afterthought, but the reason the routing feels distinct from Mexico City’s urban clubs.

History: The course opened in 2001 and is associated with Golf Plan. Its development was tied to the Valle de Bravo landscape, where the course was placed among forest and near the lake rather than on a cleared flat site. Current records describe a private course playable with a member, so the profile treats Campestre Izar as a club identity rather than a public resort. The scorecard’s two nines also have different pars, 37 on the outward nine and 35 on the inward nine, a small detail that helps define the routing.

Did You Know? The scorecard’s longest hole is the 18th, a 572-yard par five, while the shortest is the fifth, a 111-yard par three. That pairing shows how the course changes scale as it moves through the forest: the finish opens into a full-length strategic hole, while the early short hole asks for a precise carry and distance judgment. The contrast is a useful summary of Izar’s varied playing rhythm.
