Cancun Country Club - El Tinto Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Don’t pinch pennies
The course itself is well maintained! Pristine fairways, bunkers were good. Greens weren’t anything special though. Staff was good!
That being said, I learned that if you’re golfing on vacation just bite the bullet and spend some money to get to a notable course. I couldn’t quite get myself to spend $200-$300 greens fee to play riviera, mayakoba, moon, etc. but I wish I had. I read those courses have all-you-can-eat/drink included with your round too so it’s going to be about the same anyway.
Do not use rental clubs from here! $50, and all of the options were beat up 15 year old clubs with sr flex shafts (12 clubs, two of which were the same) and came with used junk balls. For $50 I’d call that a complete scam. Use Cancun golf club rentals, they’re the same cost and will deliver to you.
Main Point: If you’re already paying $120-$150 greens fee here you might as well pay a bit more to experience a known course with views and some actual amenities. At the end of the day I got to golf on vacation which is a win, but it was a forgettable experience and my money would’ve been better spent elsewhere.
Nice place but needs updated
Has the potential to be much better... pace was great once a family of beginners left or took a break at the turn.
Excellent Round
We found an excellent Cyber Monday deal for 40% off. The day was overcast and a bit breezy which made conditions ideal.
The course was a bit wet after the previous nights rain but it didn't take away from the game in any way.
Looking forward to our next round at Cancun Country Club.
Play elsewhere
Very poor conditioning. Terrible staff. No amenities. Much better value at other Cancún courses.
Great wide open course
A very nice wide open course, with big greens and lots of sand.
Great course
Nice club, don't come here looking for all the extra amenities though. The service was good, fairways and bunkers are excellent. The greens are grainy and somewhat bumpy, but acceptable. That said, I would definitely play here again.
Once upon a time
This was no doubt a signature course back in the day, long , traps, water, huge greens.
No doubt built for tournament play.
Fair, no gimmicks.
Great test of golf
Great Day
A wonderful experience and a good value on an exceptional course for the area.
Excellent Round
The Cancun Country Club proved to be an excellent course and challenge. Our Golf Now Hot Deal price point of about $90.00 usd (including fee & taxes) gave us great value for the dollar in comparison to other area courses.
The golf balls available on the driving range were more than a little bit suspect but that was minor. The course itself is obviously a gem that has lost a little bit of its lustre, but the good bones are still there and it looks like work is in progress to bring back its past glory.
All in all, I would highly recommend this course to anyone.
Don’t pay too much
I play last year and the golf condition very great but this year to 2023 the condition it’s a bad Florida from nine the back nine is better
The bunker it’s not top ! It’s depend something very well but another time it’s very bad
The green it’s no equal sometime very fast, and sometimes very slow
The back nine is better condition
Don’t pay too much I’d be $65 US tax included with golf now it’s the maximum price for this course
If you want for your money, play Riviera Cancun country club it’s near it’s very very better
Closed for tournament
Cancun golf club took my money to play knowing they would be closed preparing for a golf tournament and hoping golf now will do the right thing and refund my money.
Great price for money..50.00. Rental clubs. Cobra..
used golf balls for $21 a dozen if you buy a 3 pack in new balls or $18 club was 3 dollars beers
Course in the jungle I highly recommended well worth the money. $50 taxi ride in each way hotel cancun hotels...
Very good overall...
... but the greens were slow and some part of the golf course were really wet and the ball would plug in a lot. There was no rainfall prior for a few days at least. But still a very good and enjoyable experience. Super nice layout.
Great afternoon
Played at 130…great day…windy, lots of sand…check-in was good, played in just over 3 hours…fair but challenging..club down 1 or 2 on approach shots.
