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.

An Up and Comer

My first piece of advice would be to take a cab. We stayed in the hotel district and decided to rent a car. We got lost around the airport, asked for directions and soon arrived at the course. As others have mentioned it's a bit obscure, hidden in the back of a new development. The place was empty and we were told to take our time at the range and to tee off whenever we were ready. If you want free drinks and great views of the Caribbean go to one of the resort courses. This course is for serious golfers. It's long, demanding and was in great condition. Accessible fairways for the intermediate golfer, but the length made it a challenge. The greens were fair, but a bit sticky. If you're looking for something beyond the standard resort golf course this is it. I can definitely see it hosting a PGA tournament in the future.

Not quite ready, but it will be very, very nice

The staff is very proud of what will be here someday soon, and I don't blame them. A spectacular designed course, just not yet matured. Immediately mark yardage at all par three holes. The score card was the only source and was incorrect on all four par threes. The complex is hard to find but will be well worth it once it is completed.
