Puerto Cancun Golf Club has an ideal location nestled right in between Cancun's hotel zone and the downtown area. The course is a Tom Weiskopf design that allows the natural beauty of the tropical landscape to be the star. You're never too far from the water on this golf course, with several holes that play along the shoreline and the Marina. Almost every hole offers views of the sparkling blue waters of the Caribbean. Puerto Cancun Golf Club stretches to just over 7,200 yards from the back tees with holes that will test both your distance and your short game skills. The winding fairways demand accuracy and there are strategically placed traps along the greensides. The final hole is a memorable one with a green that is situated on an island in the main canal of Puerto Cancun.

Nice course..worth playing

This was the first time we played this course and we were happily surprised. Nice course set by a marina and the ocean. Excellent course conditions. It also plays women friendly with red tees set far enough forward from men's tees to make it a fair game. Flat course but still challenging. We happened to get "hot deal" on golf now which made the price right, otherwise kind of pricey. Great staff..very friendly and accommodating. We will go back!

Good course to enjoy on your vacay

Got a sweet deal in GN and they honored that rate and I could rent a set of titleist clubs for 50 bucks, a bit expensive if you ask me. About the round, Course layout was awesome with some holes with ocean view where all your club distances goes out of the window. Should club up and down depending on the wind direction and you would be amazed to see how the ball changes course.

The staff was very courteous and some of the views were breath taking. The front 9 was a bit tougher than the back and since I didn't have the yardage book or my range finder Went a tad over my regular scores. Expect the 2nd shots to roll a bit more and if you don't keep it in the FW, it will roll to the out of bounds where you don't want to go searching for your balls. There are crocs and some stray dogs everywhere..

Overall very happy with the round..

What Could Have Been

I would have rated my overall experience here a lot higher if I didn't have to deal with the poor, rude customer service of the staff. From the front desk, to the head pro and the manager.

Some back story; my friend rented a set of clubs from the course. My friend is 6'4'" 230 lbs. He's a former pro baseball player and his swing speed is very fast. The golf course didn't have clubs in stiff flex so they rented him a set of regular flexed irons and woods. You can probably see where this is going.

On the 4th hole, the 50 gram, regular flex shaft snapped at the head of the Club and the head ended up flying into a water hazard directly ahead of the tee off box.

The head of the club landed in the water and was bouyent enough to float. We couldn't reach the head ourselves and it was in a water hazard wilth crocodile warning signs picketed around it. It wasn't worth risking our limbs for a club head, so we told a grounds keeper what had happened and where he could find the club head.

We ended the round early and when we got to the club house to follow up on the rental club, the manager wanted to charge my buddy full price for a brand new driver ($350 USD) I understand that as a renter you are responsible for what you return. My friend does as well, being a Manager at a major US car rental company. However, the club was not a new club and for that matter could have been weakened by previous renters. They did not have a club damage policy in the rental agreement. They would not let us leave (and we did not want to risk dealing with Mexican authorities over something so trivial) until we paid a $215 fee for a replacement club.

This ruined our experience here. The charge was a big blow but that wasn't the main issue. It's how we were dealt with and how they tried to take advantage of us that I have a bigger issue with.

Work in progress but excellent course

Some construction surrounding the course; but is not a deterrent to your round.

All the amenities; pro shop, coffee shop, putting green and driving range are basic but the prices in the pro shop are much more reasonable than other comparable courses.

The course layout is good but long par 3s are near impossible for average players to reach from tee. Especially for the forward tee players with 20+ handicap.

The condition of the fairways and greens were excellent.

The green fee is comparable or cheaper than other like courses. Close location to the hotel zone makes it attractive to play.

There are canals but you only see the ocean on one of the holes.

Compare to other courses of slope rating 120(forward); I give it 8 out 10.

Not worth it

Staff was extremely rude. Had an issue with club rentals and instead of listening to me and coming up with a solution they would not let me leave unless I paid $140 for something that cost anywhere else 50 to 60 dollars. This course seems to have issues as we were the only ones playing. Would not recommend it.

Nice Course

Very nice layout and overall well kept. The sand in the bunkers is really shallow, so be careful because your club will bounce. I rented clubs and they asked me if I wanted regular flex or stiff. I asked for regular flex and the driver was, but the 3 wood and 3 hybrid were stiff. Something I didn't find out until halfway through the round, wondering why I couldn't hit them. The beverage cart came to us on the 9th and 18th hole, so not much use to us. We came upon one hole where two of the grounds crew was on the tee box getting ready to hit. They stepped aside for us, but left their tee ball on the box. Have never seen that before. After we hit our drives, they hit their balls and played the hole right behind us. They were driving one of the maintenance carts.

Again, the course is very nice, but the service is so-so. Best to bring your own clubs, or double check the set they give you before you play.

Nice condition, good price, friendly staff, good options on tee boxes

Loved this fairly new course on the center of Cancun. Easy to get to and fun to play. Wide fairways, some water and nicely maintained sand traps. Newly opened small pro shop and outdoor bar/restaurant. The car boy brought us hit panini sandwich that was delicious. Nit much play so we played a 3 hour round as a twosome. Give it a try!

Hidden Gem - Must play here if you're in Cancun - Well maintained ocean front

Amazing ocean views!!!! Immaculately maintained. Friendly helpful staff.

If you're staying at a resort, be sure to use your concierge service. My hotel's concierge arranged transportation (from my hotel to the club included in the package# and a discount on greens fees. According to locals, this is the best value for the money. On the drive to the club I recall seeing the more established clubs that had lengthy patches of dried out greens. That was not the case here. Lush greens. Panoramic views. Fascinating modern architecture surrounds the course. Tasty clubhouse food.

The staff was very friendly and helpful.

A word of advice - #perhaps this goes without saying, but...# be sure to bring cash for tips - USD is appreciated by the folks and staff. I made the Americentric assumption that you can square cash or venmo people, but that's not really the norm. Lot's of folks are very helpful and it's nice to be able to express one's appreciation with cash. #I did get to tip people after my round by getting funds at the clubhouse, but it would've been easier to just do it at the time the help was provided. Lesson learned.)

Great Course in a Convenient Location

We played this course after finding a "Hot Deal" on Golf Now. Most of the taxi drivers do not know the location of the course, but it was not difficult to find. It was a 15-20 minute cab ride from the Paradisus, and is located at the north end of the Hotel Zone on the mainland.

The course was in great condition and the staff was very friendly. The course has 2 very distinct sides with the front nine working away from the ocean and is somewhat protected from the breezes. It does have trouble on many of the holes in the mangroves though, but overall, the course is very fair with generous fairway widths. The back nine is a different animal when going towards the ocean where the breeze picks up substantially. The are a couple of holes that require one to club down substantially due to the stiff breezes coming in off the ocean. It was very breezy on the day we played, so I am not sure if this is typical or not, but it definitely made the course play much longer on the back nine.

I would not hesitate to recommend this course, and I will definitely play it again on our next trip to Cancun.

Brand new course

Another new course in Cancun area. Good challenging course. No clubhouse yet. The staff have no experience they are not ready but the course make you forget all of it. I was alone all my round did not see anybody. Driving range is very nice. one of the best course in Cancun area.

Beautiful course by the water

The course was very well maintained, and a pleasure to play. Received a good deal from Golf Now, and would certainly play this course again. Let do say that it is a new course (~ 2 years old), and does not yet have a club house. Nonetheless, I was there to play golf, not hang around in the pro shop.

Highly recommend this course if staying in Cancun. Fairly new course, but is in excellent condition. Tough layout in some areas but fun to play. Back nine is fun with 2 par 5s back-to-back and 2 par 3s back-to-back. Would encourage those to take advantage of GolfNow deals. Regular price is $170, but got deal through GolfNow for $40. Rental clubs were $50.

Most beautiful course I've ever played

While vacationing in Cancun I used the GolfNow app to locate courses nearby. Puerto Cancun was close and had amazing reviews. The hot deal for $45 for 18 with cart and range balls was one I could not pass up. Early in the morning I jumped in a cab and told him where to go. The course is brand new so he was unsure exactly where it was but we found it with no problem. We arrived at the course and as others have said there is no club house yet, but one will be completed by the end of summer. The starter directed me to start on the back 9 and off I went with no one in front of me. I played all 18 and did not wait on any other players. The course was amazing with two holes playing directly alongside the ocean with several other holes along waterways lined with large yachts next to amazing homes, condos and apartments. The course was in great shape and was quite challenging. I played from the middle tees and it was still pretty long. I loved this course and I would have paid at least $250. Once the construction around the course is completed, I guarantee the price to play will be high. PLAY THIS COURSE!
