Naruo Golf Course hides in plain sight
Forza Horizon 6's Mexico map is packed with sights, but the Naruo Golf Course is one of those spots you can zoom past a dozen times without ever registering it. Tucked away in the middle of the Minamino region, this lush green patch surrounded by sand traps and orange dirt trails blends into the landscape so well that it's almost camouflaged. If you've been grinding through the Horizon Festival, you've definitely driven near it—you just might not have noticed the entrance.
The course sits just south of Shirakawa-go, the big town on Minamino's northern side. Head south on the main road until you spot a 365 convenience store on the right. Swerve around the store's right side and you'll find the golf course entrance. Easy once you know where to look. The game's AI traffic and drivatars will make the area feel lived-in, but the course itself stays quiet—perfect for a quick photo op or a treasure hunt.
The hidden Dodge Charger R/T treasure car
Here's the main reason you want to visit: a free 1969 Dodge Charger R/T is parked right by the course entrance. Before you barrel through the golf course gates, look left. That classic muscle car is just sitting there, waiting to be collected. It's one of several treasure cars scattered across the map, and unlike some that require solving riddles, this one just needs you to show up. The game runs smoothly on a range of hardware, including AMD GPUs, so you won't have to fiddle with settings to enjoy the drive back.
The Charger isn't the flashiest ride in the game, but it's a solid addition to any garage, especially for free. If you were hoping for a supercar, well, you'll have to earn those credits the old-fashioned way. But for nostalgia and sheer presence, the R/T delivers.
The #AfternoonTee photo challenge
Once you've got the Charger, there's another reason to stick around: the #AfternoonTee photo challenge. To complete it, you need to snap a picture of a 1997 Maserati Ghibli Cup at the Naruo Golf Course. You can either drop 102,000 credits at the Autoshow or complete the Scenic Scrambles Seasonal Championship to earn one for free. The seasonal championship isn't terribly hard, so that's the recommended route unless you're flush with cash.
Find a good angle that shows off the golf course backdrop—the clubhouse, the sand traps, maybe a few trees—and the challenge is done. This little side quest feels a lot like the hidden collectible hunts in a game like A Short Hike, where exploration is its own reward. Take your time, enjoy the scenery, and don't forget to rev the Maserati's engine a few times before you leave.
Why this matters for your playthrough
Forza Horizon 6 is huge, and it's easy to get tunnel-vision chasing races and accolades. Hidden locations like the Naruo Golf Course remind you that the map rewards curiosity. Whether you're after a free classic car or a photo challenge star, taking a detour here saves you credits and gives you a story to tell. Plus, with the seasonal change on the horizon (the game's weather system is no joke), you might want to grab that Charger before the next storm rolls in.
The course itself isn't playable—you can't tee off with your car—but it's a landmark that makes Mexico feel real. Ace Combat games have their hidden runways, and Forza Horizon has its secret golf course. Different games, same thrill of discovery. So next time you're cruising through Minamino, take that right turn at the 365. Your garage will thank you.
