Cancun Country Club - El Tinto Golf Course

I’ve played this course a few times now, and I like it a lot. Long for better golfers, open fairways, well placed bunkers, great course conditions.

Only weird thing was a group of 8 in front of us. Together. On one green. Hitting one at a time.

Cart girl said they were a group. Nothing we could do. But a marshal finally arrived and put a stop to it. The players should have known better and they saw people backing up behind us.

All fixed. 5-1/2 hours for the round due to group of 8.

I’ll definitely go back. Marshal did their job.

Everything was great at the golf course! However the booking said round trip transportation included but we ended up paying for a ride both ways ($65). The course said it was a “GolfNow “ thing and wouldn’t honor it.

Fun course, watch the “hot deals” rate as a huge fee, called a tax is added. My round was an extra 17%. Seems a bit shady on the pricing

With wide fairways, but long, the course is challenging enough for a high handicapper, without losing a box of balls.

To be honest I picked this course due to the lower cost than other Cancun golf courses. It’s close to the airport so pretty far from the hotel zone and is about 60 bucks. The best part of the course is the greens and the cheap beer on the course. The course is also very long and the course was very wet even though it hadn’t rained in Cancun in 4 days. I believe it was over watered. Also bring a towel! They don’t have any. For a country club this is not a good sign. There were a few large weeds that needed tending but not to bad. Bunkers could have been raked because most of the players not raking. All in all fair for the price in paradise but could be so much better.

The course was nice but a little wet. Facilities could use some upgrades, range balls were decades old and the range was mediocre at best. The course had a nice layout and was relatively easy for a low to mid handicap golfer. It was my first time at this course but will try and find better quality courses for the price.

First off - I’ve played this course many times. This particular time the course was very wet, I know there was a lot rain here recently but this course obviously does not drain particularly well. Many areas on the fairway were soupy soft which definitely made the course ilonger and tougher. Staff was super friendly as always and a very helpful. Overall we had a good day even though we didn’t have particularly good rounds. Will come back because in general I like this course.

In the Cancun area you can pay up to $350 for championship golf, by booking last minute on Golf Now I got just under $100 for a former TPC course. Although the surrounding development appears to have been put on hold and the course amenities no longer high end, the key to this course is that the underlying design is still a terrific Nick Price TPC layout. Greens could be better shape but the rest of the course is maintained. So if you are in Cancun for a while and want to play excellent courses but not break the bank you should try this one. Very long from the tips, I played the Blues (middle) and lots of people play the Whites.

Course was in great shape … so many bunkers! Possibly should have played from blue tees vs whites.

Awesome roll on the greens.

Staff were very attentive … very good Covid protocols.

Shower facilities available … brought our own towels, but there might be towels there, just didn’t ask.

Play Monday 10/18/2021

Friendly staff very helpful for being my first time in Cancun I will definitely comeback to the tinto golf course

I played the course in the afternoon and the price after 12pm was fantastic! The building was clean and staff was super friendly. Carts are older with no GPS, the score cards are simple with no yardages to trouble or landing areas .That is a bit of a problem due to the fact that there are bunkers everywhere on this course and quite a bit of blind shots. All in all a great time with friends for the recreational golfer.
