New Golf Course To Open Soon-Ensenada
I had lunch with my good buddy golf course architect Enrique Valenzuela who designed and built the Baja Country Club and several other courses in
Mexico last week. He was contracted to build a nine hole par three course in San Antonio (wine country). Each hole will be exactly like a par three
from several different courses like Augusta, TPC, Pebble Beach, etc. There will be two seperate tee boxes from different yardage. There will also be
lights so you can play until 12 midnight. It should be finished by September.

We passed through there the other day and noticed the heavy equipment profiling the hills and thought if they are going to build something there why
are they not leveling the ground. That whole area is growing so fast it's amazing.

I always thought a "Pitch 'n Putt" course would go well around here.
Where did I see, just the other day, golf instruction being offered to kids in Ensenada.

Dan, are they building a Libremente (sp?) highway around Ensenada as they have in other Mexican cities to avoid city traffic you are just going
through?

Neighbors don't matter in Mexico. "Lust for Life and Money" is everything......and then some.

Dennis,
Don' t you have a miniature golf course in your backyard? You could make big bucks by opening it to the public!! | Quote: | Originally posted by DENNIS

Bypass Route

Yes, they are constructing a bypass route, mainly for commercial vehicles (large trucks) to get them off of Hwy 1 (Reforma) through Ensenada.
The route heads east/south from Hwy 3, just north of Hwy 1. It will bypass Ensenada and rejoin hwy 1 just south of ElZorillo, south of Maneadero.
There are 3 off ramps/exits that lead off the bypass so cargo can be delivered into Ensenada.

This will be fantastic for us who have no love for city streets and city traffic when driving down Baja!

By the looks of the map, and description, this will be quite a lot longer drive as it is going WAY around the east side of town, in the hills. It will
be interesting to compare the drive times through the city with all the traffic and signals vs. the much longer loop around the mountains to the east.

It's my understanding that the truck route is to begin around the Tecate Road [as in the above picture] and end in the NE corner of the city near the
dam, bypassing town traffic, but rejoining Reforma/Highway 1 around that point. No relief for traffic through the SE section of town....past Costco,
Walmart, etc.
Makes little sense to me....a good job half done.
We have to wait and see.

Bajaguy said it will rejoin Hwy. 1 SOUTH of Maneadero, which is a total city/ valley bypass. That makes sense, but how many years to get it all done?

Patience, grasshopper.

Map
I think Doc has a map of the project.
The first section will be from Hwy 3 to Ruiz Ave in the n/e part of town.
FYI....the contractor who is currently building the bypass is also doing the La Bufadora road.
