Tulum In Cancun, some of the world’s most renowned golf course designers have teamed up with the surrounding lush nature and created a selection of nine legendary courses, with four more on the way. Cancun course designs have
come from some of the game’s greatest names, including: Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Robert Von Hagge, Isao Aoki, Greg Norman and P.B. Dye.

These courses feature challenging fairways that present players with distinctive curves and gentle hills, all framed by colorful tropical vegetation. From tee to green, views of the Caribbean’s turquoise waters and pure white beaches stretch out in the distance. Surrounding nature puts an abundance of wildlife in view, including iguanas, herons, raccoons and bright red macaws.

While some courses are built around historical Mayan temples, modern conveniences and design features are incorporated into every course to ensure that players of all levels are ready for the challenge. In fact, golf courses in the Mexican Caribbean meet the highest standards set by professional tournaments and expert golfers. And from the pro shop to the 19th hole, you can take advantage of familiar golfing amenities such as club, shoe and cart rental, practice areas, putting greens, course assistants, and lessons or clinics from club pros.

Cancun proper is home to two beautiful 18 hole championship golf courses. One is the Pok-Ta-Pok course which runs along the the coast of the Caribbean and also Laguna Nichupté, the other is the Hilton Cancun Golf Club course that hugs the shores of Laguna Nichupté near the El Rey ruins on Kukulcán Blvd. The Hilton course is rumored to have alligators in one of the water hazards.

Cancun's newest course, a Jack Nicklaus signature course is located about 15 minutes west of the hotel zone on the road to Playa del Carmen and Tulum. The Golf Club at Moon Palace is a 7,201 yard course laid out among the areas natural mangroves. The course also features a modern club house which houses a complete spa.

Another 18 hole championship course is located about 50 miles down the coast near the Continental Plaza Playacar hotel. Playacar is adjacent to Playa del Carmen. The Playacar course, which is carved into the Mayan Jungle features many lakes and some incredible natural vegetation. This is a 7,202 yard course which was designed by Robert Von Hagge.
