Cancun Country Club - El Tinto Golf Course
About
El Tinto Golf Club (formerly known as TPC Cancun) has an environmentally friendly layout that is a popular destination for the PGA Tour. It serves as host to several events throughout the year. When crafting the course, special care was taken to protect the native flora and fauna. As a result El Tinto blends seamlessly into the existing environment. The Nick Price design also utilizes the terrain's natural elevation changes and water features. It's a challenging but fair test with more than 80 strategically placed bunkers and five lakes that come into play throughout. You will encounter some tricky holes but the different sets of tees cater to players of every skill level. El Tinto G.C. is conveniently situated just minutes from all the major area hotels and it's less than a half hour from Playa Del Carmen.

Golfer Reviews
Great day despite the rain
Went out with my son after a 1 hour rain delay. The course was pretty wet mostly on the front 9 but was playable.. the back 9 seemed to drain excess well. Very fun course for the average golfer with fantastic green surfaces. It can play plenty long for the long hitters. Overall a fun day with my son.
While in Cancun
Played this course while visiting Cancun. The course was in good shape and staff was very friendly. Biggest knocks on the course would be the cost and the very out date golf carts.
Good value
Played in 2.5hrs ! Almost no one on the course. Very nice layout, greens a bit slow but overall very good condition.
Rental clubs were ok not the newest but fine.
Club house is very nice.
Cancun country club
Very nice layout well maintained. By only complaint was there were wasp on holes 5-7. It hard to play golf while being chased. Shot a 93
TPC - Really?
Overall, very disappointing. The range was closed although not a single person was around. Very slow service before the round for food/etc. and other courses have free lunch and drinks on the course. Course was fine, nothing that would suggest it was TPC. It was on par with a low level muni course in the States - certainly not worth $190. I would suggest Iberostar instead.
A pleasant surprise…..
This was a last minute idea when other plans fell through. A fine and challenging layout. The greens were somewhat pedestrian but eminently playable. I’d love to play it again; particularly if it was post the PGA event that’s held there.
Too wet
Course layout and conditioning were great but the course had been heavily watered which produced mud balls on every shot thus making the course that much longer and harder to play
Rental clubs were old with aging grips and the whole set wouldn't sell for more than 300 but they charge 60 usd , which is a real rip off
Bunkers bunkers and more bunkers
Though nice wide fairways it does not mean easy. It’s long and bunkers are strategic and plentiful. 80 I’ve been told to be exact. Couple that with some unfortunate water hazards and you need to be a precise shot maker over 7000 yards. It’s difficult but a lot of fun. Will definitely play again.
Nice course
Everything was great, condition of the course, greens run great and the staff excellent
Only thing was they heavily watered all the landing areas in front of the greens which made it more difficult to score
I recommend playing here
Ok but disappointing
No driving range at 1:30, beverage cart service was good. Overall nothing special, not great for the price. Restaurant closed too. Overall condition was good but had just expected more for $150US.
Decent track.
Tough track. Plenty of water. Beautiful club house. Very friendly staff. Pace not good over five hour round. Not one ball washer had water in it on the entire course. Greens in fair condition. Need a bit more TLC. Surprised at the amount of trash in wooded areas.
Carved from the Jungle
Deep into the jungle but close to airport. Just don’t get on think you’re going to get a enuf reception to get an Uber for the ride back to civilization. Nice layout with wide fairways, water and lots of bunkers. The course, however was way too overwatered especially near the greens where if you hit slightly short, it would just plug your ball. The greens were smooth, but had too many debits from balls plugging. So my advices don’t water so much it’s not that hot in January.
Nice Layout
Very forgiving course with wide open fairways
No wifi beyond the clubhouse but I guess this helps you focus on your game instead of your phone 😂
Will play again when I return to Cancun.
