The Mexican Golf Federation (FMG) has taken another major step toward making golf more accessible across the country by inaugurating the National Public Golf School in Las Maravillas. This initiative is part of the FMG’s ambitious plan to establish 15 training centers by the end of 2025, furthering its commitment to growing the sport nationwide.
The event was led by Fernando Lemmen Meyer, President of the FMG, alongside Carlos Moreno, Advisor and President of the Inter Institutional Coordination Committee. Both highlighted the importance of the initiative in promoting golf beyond private clubs and into the wider community.
“With the opening of the Las Maravillas Chapter, we reaffirm our commitment to inclusion and the growth of golf in Mexico. This project will provide more children and young players with access to quality sports training. All this while fostering values such as discipline, perseverance, and teamwork,” stated Fernando Lemmen Meyer.
Located on the border between the states of Morelos and Puebla, the Las Maravillas Golf Course has been a hub for community golf programs, serving as the host site for First Tee Mexico for the past seven years. This PGA Tour-affiliated initiative, operated by Grupo Salinas, teaches life values through golf. Additionally, Las Maravillas is home to the National Association of Adaptive Golf, promoting the inclusion of players with disabilities, and since January 2025, it has been part of the LPGA’s Girls Golf program, supported by golf legend, Lorena Ochoa.
The National Public Golf School aims to remove barriers to entry for new players by offering accessible learning programs, cutting-edge technology, and expert instruction. In alignment with its mission, the FMG has formed key partnerships with local governments and private organizations to ensure long-term sustainability and growth.
Carlos Moreno emphasized the power of collaboration in making this initiative a reality. “The National Public Golf School is a prime example of what can be achieved when institutions and civil society work together. We will continue to support initiatives that bring golf to more communities and offer real opportunities for future generations.”
In addition to structured golf training, Las Maravillas will award 40 scholarships to children and teenagers aged 6 to 16 from the surrounding areas of Puebla and Morelos. These scholarships, granted through municipal organizations, will provide students with free access to golf training, reinforcing the FMG’s mission of inclusivity and talent development.
With this second location now open, the FMG continues its plan to expand the National Public Golf School to 15 venues by the end of 2025. The next chapter is set to launch in Tepic, Nayarit, reinforcing the Federation’s dedication to making golf a sport for everyone.
The FMG invites children, young adults, and community members to explore the opportunities offered by the National Public Golf School. With expert coaching, modern facilities, and a strong emphasis on values, the program is poised to shape the future of golf in Mexico.
