Course Description

* Nicklaus-Design course
* Par 54
* 18 Holes
* 2923 yards
An 18 hole par 54 that is 2,923 yards long, combines pearly white sand traps and natural stone around its two lakes. An intense color in its greens and waste areas, this golf course is truly a delight for golf enthusiasts on the Mayan Riviera. As part of the extraordinary natural panorama, the lakes and natural vegetation of the Mayan jungle surround all 18 holes as obstacles to overcome.
Hole 17, Christened “Donna-Green”, is surrounded by a lake, two sand traps on each side and one more in the center of the green. This makes it the only of its kind and turns the desired par into an even greater challenge.
Services include:
* Free Transportation
* Parking
* Bag Storage
* Pro Shop
* Restaurant and Bar
* Driving Range
* Shoes and club rental
* Putting green
* Short game area
Plan Your Golf Outing
The Pro Shop promises something for all. Lunch at the turn is always divine. With fresh chilaquiles and a cold cerveza, golf is much more rewarding. The staff is always smiling and friendly. Led by head golf Pro, Calvin Nielsen, this course is a stiff competitor among neighboring courses.
