The Grupo Mayan golf club offers a breathtaking Nicklaus-design course set within the grounds of the Mayan Palace hotel between Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Despite having 18 holes each with a par of just 3, this is by no means a ‘pitch-and-putt’.
Ideal for practicing your short-play and squeezing in a round that would take longer elsewhere, this exceptionally beautiful course features sand traps, jungle vegetation and lakes surrounded by rocks, a challenge for even the most competent of golfers.
Of course, more par threes mean more chances for hole-in-ones. If you’re lucky enough to join that exclusive group of golfers you can have your name marked on the club’s special hole-in-one board and receive a certificate to prove it. (Don’t forget, tradition says the after game drinks are on you!)
The standard of service is superb: golf professionals and caddies are ready to assist you at any moment and a comfortable shuttle service to and from many hotels is also available.
Other features include a snack bar area, where you can enjoy a bite to eat and some refreshing drinks, while resting after your game. You can also visit the pro’s shop, which offers exclusive balls, spikes and shirts.
Of the resort, the owner's website says "You will uncover a truly magical place when visiting Mayan Palace in the Riviera Maya. Nature lovers will rejoice in this place filled with tropical foliage, exotic native fauna, and all this resort has to offer. Take an exotic adventure through the jungle, or dive down into a cenote, or underwater cave. And at the end of the day, don’t forget to experience the vibrant Cancun and Playa del Carmen nightlife where dancing goes late into the night."
