PGA Riviera Maya Golf Club

PGA Riviera Maya Golf Club is the perfect location for golfers seeking a premier golf package in Cancun. Designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones II, this 7272 yard championship course takes visitors through dense jungle, limestone outcroppings, and cenotes.

Gran Coyote Golf Club

Gran Coyote Golf Club is a standout among Cancun’s best golf courses, delivering a world-class experience in the heart of the Riviera Maya. Stretching out to 7043 yards from the tips and covering 7 acres of land, the course takes its visitors through lush fairways, 71 challenging bunkers, and 8 lakes that enhance the beauty and difficulty of the course

This 18-hole championship course is ideal for a leisurely, enjoyable round for golfers of all abilities. With perhaps slightly wider fairways and a greater margin for error than other nearby coastal tracks, the course can still be enjoyed by those with higher handicaps. Located just a short drive from Cancun, it blends modern course design with the region’s stunning tropical landscapes. Gran Coyote Golf Club is a must-visit for anyone exploring the top golf courses in Cancun.
