Golfing in the Riviera Maya is an experience of a lifetime. Some of the world’s most famous designers (Robert Trent Jones II, Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Tom Lehman, etc.) chose to make their mark on this golfer’s paradise. Precise course designs, natural beauty, fantastic weather and world class facilities are minutes away. Golfing here can be expensive so be sure to call the course directly and inquire about specials such as twilight discounts or only playing 9 holes. Here are a few of our favorites:
To assure the residents enjoy an unparalleled golf course experience, Grupo Piñero selected the globally-renowned firm of Robert Trent Jones, II. The architects have successfully integrated the natural Yucatan wonders surrounding the 27 hole golf course. Fairways flow along the natural contours of a jungle dense with Mangrove and Gum trees. Cenotes and limestone boulders add intriguing challenges for all levels of players. The championship course is breathtaking and the 9 hole course is perfect for a late afternoon quick game after a morning on the beach. You can also get excellent instruction from a certified PGA instructor at the covered Golf Academy.
Located in the Playa del Carmen hotel zone known as Playacar in the Mexico’s beautiful Mayan Riviera, this 18 hole Playacar Golf Course was built amongst the lush foliage of the Yucatan Peninsula, making this golf course not only beautiful, but challenging as well. The Playacar golf course is all-inclusive, meaning all your food and drinks are included in the price! This is a great bonus at a great golf course in the Riviera Maya. The Club provides a first class practice area, complete with a spectacular driving range, and a large putting green including chipping, pitching, and greenside bunker areas.
Another outstanding golf course in the Riviera Maya is El Camaleon at Mayakoba. Mayakoba is the home of the Mayakoba Classic which is the only PGA tournament in the Riviera Maya. Designed by famed golfer and expert course designer Greg Norman, Mayakoba is truly a state of the art course in the heart of the Riviera Maya.
The course bends through three distinct landscapes – tropical jungle, dense mangroves, and oceanfront stretches of sand with holes bisected by massive limestone canals. Norman has even incorporated a cenote, a massive, ancient cavern common to the area, into the heart of the opening fairway. Mayakoba is truly a first-rate golfing experience in the Riviera Maya.
One of the most economical golf course in the entire Riviera Maya is Puerto Aventuras Golf Club. It has 9 holes and is also very casual and laid back. You can walk, use a hand cart or an electric cart. It also has several great tennis courts as well. Definitely worth a visit!
This is the 3rd year we have booked the home at 1942 Boardwalk for our family vacation. We have loved it every time! It is spacious and has plenty of room for everyone. The home is always stocked with items we need, i.e. laundry detergent, dish soap, and toiletries in every bathroom. We love the home comes with 2-6 seater golf carts which is important for our family to navigate the community and get to the beach separately if the need arises. I highly recommend this place for your vacation in Sandestin!!
Our 2nd time renting and I can’t enough great things! Our stay was wonderful! The place was clean, full of everything we needed and perfect for our family. Added bonus was all the turtles in the back, the kids loved watching them. I love how close everything was with so much to do for everyone. Can’t wait to plan our next trip!!
Eric was wonderful to work with in booking this house. House was beautiful and exactly as described. The two golfs carts were an added bonus in addition being able to bring pets is a plus. Will definitely book this home again.
We loved staying in the 3bed 3 bath condo with two adults and two kids. Lots of space and appreciated that it is located on the corner overlooking the bay. The quiet patio was one of our favorite features! We also enjoyed using free passes for the tram! The walk to Baytown Wharf is just a few minutes away. We loved that the community is gated and so beautiful! We would definitely stay here again.
We loved this fun 2 story house! It was clean, equipped with everything and as always has the best extras. (Dish soap, laundry soap, and even stain remover) The sunsets over the golf course are beautiful. It is close to everything! (Beach, bay, golf course, shopping, 3 pools, activities, marina, tennis and more) The 2 golf carts made it so easy to get around. Eric is great to work with. This was our 2nd stay with him and we will book again soon!
