About Mayakoba

Located along the Caribbean coastline in the heart of the Riviera Maya, the remarkable Mayakoba resort community offers an eco-luxury experience that honors the region’s natural beauty while delivering exceptional comfort and service. Home to several renowned properties, including Rosewood Mayakoba, Banyan Tree Mayakoba and Fairmont Mayakoba, guests can choose from beachfront suites, overwater villas, or private residences with secluded pools and direct access to powdery white sands. Water lovers can enjoy boating, snorkeling, diving, kayaking, jet skiing and hydrobiking.

Golfers will be drawn to El Camaleón, the Greg Norman-designed championship course that winds through mangroves and lagoons and has hosted events on both the PGA TOUR and LIV Golf. Dining at Mayakoba is just as impressive, with everything from casual beachside bites to upscale waterfront meals and private, curated culinary experiences.

A Riviera Maya Gem

The entire experience is first class. And although the course routing at times is a bit funky, the golf is exceptional.

Mayakoba, a golfing must!

Superior and wonderful golfing experience! The two ocean holes (#7 and #15) were simply magnificent. I've played the course four times in the last ten years, and hope to play many more times. Other than the on course food options being very poor and prices in gift shop an insulting outrage, this course is a must for any golfer!

Great Facility, Unfriendly Pro Shop Staff

This is certainly a "must play" kind of course. The greens and fairways were amazing. It was soooo beautiful, I think it took away the sting of my score and the $150 green fee ;-). Fortunatel because of GolfNow, I received a better rate, but still had to pay $150 in transportation fees from Cancun to the course and back.

The outside staff was very nice and helpful, the guy in the PRO shop was not. He tried to encourage me not to go to the practice range so that I could hurry and finish. I uncovered his hidden agenda when I returned from my round, he had arleady closed the shop and the regsiter so I couldn't buy a souvenir shirt, etc. unless I paid with cash. I was very disappointed to be rushed when that was the main reason I picked Mexico as my destination. I woudln't know anything about the 19th hole since it was pretty much closed when I finished my round and it was only 6:30 or so!

If you got a chance to play it, we paid 89$ with golf now at 11h30, a huge discount if you compare to the teeoff 10 min earlier at 229$

Beautiful course

The staff was nice. Some maybe a little full of the place. The course was great. Perfect conditions and beautiful scenery. Some of the best greens I have played. Any avid golfer must play this if in the area. It was expensive and not all inclusive like some of the other courses, but still a must play once. Very windy the day we played.

Beautiful Course - Great condition - Touch of Class

Well after playing another local course and being very disappointed ( TPC Cancun ) I was extremely refreshed to experience Mayakoba, very friendly staff, great service, beautiful setting , and the practice facility, putting green, and course was in excellent condition. I highly recommend playing Mayakoba, it is most likely one of the best courses Mexico has to offer, at least to my knowledge on the Mayan coast.
I have played Moon Palace, Riviera, Playa Car, Riviera Maya Golf Course, TPC Cancun .... to my liking Mayakoba is the best of the bunch

Enjoy

PGA Tour host delivers the swankiest golf experience of the Riviera Maya

The host of the OHL Classic at Mayakoba, the PGA TOUR’s only stop in Mexico or the Caribbean, now delivers an experience up to par with an expanded clubhouse. Improvements completed in 2014 added a new bar and patio to the upper level in the clubhouse. A new restaurant is scheduled to open this year as well. The course has always been worthy of the tournament. It traverses through three ecosystems, the jungle, the mangroves and the beach. The signature par-3s at no. 7 and no. 15 overlook the Caribbean Sea. A daunting collection of par-4s will define how the round goes.
