Rating 74.8

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.

First Time Playing

Well maintained but the greens were at about a five stimpwise

Need a course map and the available map does not show the tricks the designer put in. Pleasant though and very near where we stayed. promising course but greens were extremely slow, ruining the overall experience. Cost of items in the pro shop were out of line.

Amazing jungle golf experience

Great Course!

Great Service!

$25 All-Inclusive optional add-on (sandwiches, snacks, burgers, hot dogs, beers, sodas, waters, poweraid, shots, mixed drinks) Well worth it!

They will also pick you up and take you back to your resort if you give them 24 hours notice.
