Mayan Riviera Golf Information

MAYAN RIVIERA GOLFING

Mayan Riviera Golf Courses In Mexico, worries and stress are long forgotten, especially when you've hit the green with the ocean breeze in your face.

The Mayan Riviera boasts having the best courses in Mexico with the first ever PGA tournament being played at the El Camaleon Mayakoba in 2007.

No matter where you stay on the Mayan Riviera you are no further than an hour away from a course. Some hotels have driving ranges.

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned veteran the Mayan Riviera offers tree lined and shaded fairways, challenging greens, great views of the ocean, Mayan ruins and an array of exotic birds and animals.

  • You must find your own transportation to most of the courses you wish to play. Some courses offer pick-up and return with the green fee. Generally, you take a taxi. Every taxi driver knows every golf course and can quote you the rate upfront.

  • It is not recommended to take your own clubs unless you plan on golfing every day. Club rentals are between $30 - 40 USD.

  • We do suggest that you bring a sleeve of balls and tee's...since they're easy to pack. Bring cheap balls because you will loose a few on these jungle/ocean courses.

  • You can book a twilight game at a reduced rate however not all courses have rangers on board and if you get a bunch of drunks in front of you this can be a hassle.

  • It is cooler to golf later in the day - but almost impossible to get 18 holes in before dark.

This wonderful golf course carved from the Mayan jungle is environmentally friendly; it was carefully crafted from the surrounding mangrove, marshlands and tropical rainforest to preserve its environmental integrity and it possesses very thick vegetation around it, which makes it easier to collect the balls.

It provides, in addition, a well-equipped golf store, a snack bar, as well as two tiered tees with plenty of room for practice or just warm up, a putting green and chipping green with a practice bunker.

    Tale of the
    Little Seamstress

    Once upon a time, there was a little seamstress who sewed mightily on his sewing machine. The other machines in his neighborhood laughed at him, and shouted: "Fairy! Only old women are streamstresses!" So the little seamstress sewed shut the mouths of everyone who made fun of him. That is why, to this day, we do not know how the story ended, because no one could tell it.

     

     

    The Mexican name for the Atlantic coastal region of the Yucatan Peninsula is Riviera Maya. The English use is either Maya Riviera or Mayan Riviera. It is used all three ways in this web site.
