Cancun Golf Courses

At present, the Cancun Hotel Zone offers two championship 18-hole golf courses, and The Melia Cancun and Oasis Cancun each have short but fun Par 3 courses open to play for both guests and non-guests. Additionally, the Riviera Maya offers an 18-hole course in Playa del Carmen, and a 9-hole course in Puerto Aventuras.

Pok-Ta-Pok artistically incorporates hundreds of meters of dramatic shoreline and ancient Mayan ruins into a flat yet challenging course that winds past Cancun's saltwater lagoon and turquoise Caribbean waters. Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed this scenic 18-hole course, which is conveniently located in the heart of the Cancun Hotel Zone. Visitors will delight in the authentic Mayan temple situated next to one of its greens. Green fees range from $65 to $100 U.S. per person.

The Hilton Cancun Beach & Golf Resort is home to a Par 72, 18-hole championship course that reaches a total of 6,767 yards. Constructed by the Aoki Corp. (Japanese), the Hilton Course features challenging sand traps, a driving range, a golf shop with name brand equipment for both men and women, electric carts, equipment rental, and resident golf pros. (tel. 1-800-228-3000).

Playacar Golf Club is located just 45 minutes south of Cancun, and was designed by Robert Von Hagge. This 7,202-yard course is rated 73.1, and has plenty of tee boxes for every level of play. It features long narrow fairways and undulating greens that are protected by very large snow-white sand bunkers. This course is situated next to Playa del Carmen, in the exclusive Playacar development. Approximate green fees are $100 - $120 for 18 holes.

Puerto Aventuras Golf Club is a beautiful Par 36 jungle course designed in 1991 by Thomas Leman. One of the best kept secrets in the area, the fairways and greens are covered by a smooth carpet of Bermuda grass, and surrounded by Palm trees, bugambilias, tropical ficus and lush foliage.
