Gran Coyote Golf Riviera Maya
Rating Snapshot
About
Situated just minutes from Playa del Carmen, the Gran Coyote Golf Riviera Maya (formerly known as Grand Coral Riviera Maya) snakes through dense Mayan jungle with scenic glimpses of the Caribbean Sea throughout. The designer, Nick Price, laid heavy emphasis on having the most minimal environmental impact as possible while still providing a fair and challenging round. He even employed a team of biologists and environmental consultants to determine how to minimize water consumption and protect the native wildlife. Price carefully preserved and incorporated the native vegetation into the golf course so that it blends seamlessly into the beautiful surroundings. The dense jungle comes into play along the fairways, requiring some accuracy to maneuver or else you'll surely lose a ball. Water hazards come into play on several holes and there are also strategically placed bunkers lurking near the greens.

Excellent Experience
I was staying in Puerto Morelos for a week and wanted to play two courses. I settled on Gran Coyote and Cancun Country Club. I played Gran Coyote first and wish I had played this course twice. Excellent value for the price but most importantly, the course was in impeccable shape. It was hard to find a blade of grass out of place. Greens were incredibly smooth and quick. This is what vacation golf is meant to be - forgiving fairways, excellent greens, and an interesting layout that makes you want to play again. Highly recommend!
Great course!
Definitely plan on playing this track again in the future. I would highly recommend it.
Beautiful course
This is a beautiful and very well maintained course the staff super friendly.
By far my best experience playing golf in México!
Great Course
Just a well maintained beautiful course I would highly recommend to anyone. Staff is also very friendly.
Great Condition
The fairways, rough and green conditions were just excellents, even after all the rain that just had fall, I enjoyed my play. Cant't wait to play it again.
Way better than Hard Rock golf, in Playacar.
Great open course
This course was previously called Grand Coral, but it is still a very nice layout. Fairways and greens are wide and large. Quite a bit of water and lots of sand to keep you on your game. The course was in great shape. Also seeing some of the local wildlife (coatimundi and crocs), is a bonus.
Gran Coyote in rainy season
Rainy season, so it’s hit or miss. Today was a home run Dodged the torrential downpours of past two days and amazing how quickly the course is playable. They have made great strides over past two years. Greens were smooth and true rolling. Marshals were most attentive I’ve ever seen (only 5 rounds here)
Awesome course !!
Amazing course, staff was great from the minute we arrived until the time we were done.
Booked a second round for next week !!!
Amazing course and staff!!!
Played this course for the first time today and will be booking round 2 in 2 days this evening! Challenging but forgiving course. Rental clubs are higher end amd in great condition. Staff was very accomodating and friendly. Looking forward to round 2 amd maybe even 3 if we can squeeze it before departure!
Super nice conditions challenging but fair
One of the nicest courses I've ever played. A bit pricy but golf now hot deal and points made it very reasonable. Rental taylormade clubs in good shape. The heat and humidity was intense take it easy and frequent rest helps. Staff is extremely attentive I felt like a VIP.
Awesome outing.
Awesome course Great design ,tough but fair and really fun to play. Great staff and tacos at turn were fantastic.
Great Course
This is the first time I have played this course, I can promise it will not be the last. Beautiful course and extremely well maintained. Lots of water and sand traps, really make you think and position your ball in the right place. My only complaint is that the greens are very firm. I hit some great shots onto the greens only to have them roll off the back. The staff was super friendly and bilingual. I highly recommend this course.
Save your money
Every other hole was being watered and most had maintenance being done .. workers didn’t stop or turn off equipment... then had to wait as all the staff and I mean everyone was at the putting green playing some game.. I did mention the terrible experience but nothing was said or done.
Exceptional value
Fairways were in great shape, greens were receptive and rolled true. Pace was perfect and staff was friendly and attentive. Tacos from the barbecue outside we’re the perfect end to a great round.
