Iberostar Playa Paraiso Golf Club is just as amazing a course as El Camaleón. While it may not boast the same gulf views, its large mounds of fairways and greens paired with an array of interesting visuals make up for that entirely.
A must-have here? The yardage book if you’re new to this place—there are many secrets hidden away in these emerald grounds waiting to be discovered.
Enjoy a round of golf at this scenic resort for only $89, exclusive to Iberostar Cancun guests. Non-resort visitors can join in the fun for just $199. Remember: don’t get confused with the similarly named Iberostar Cancun Golf Club located downtown. This is an entirely different experience – one that you won’t want to miss out on.

Situated only twenty minutes north of the Hotel Zone, Playa Mujeres Golf Club is situated in Punta Sam and is open from dawn to dusk. Built by renowned designer Greg Norman, this 18-hole Par 72 course was created with local flora and fauna carefully preserved.
One of few courses supported by the Executive Women’s Golf Association (EWG) across Mexico, it has built a reputation as one of its finest. Green fees include cart rental, practice range balls, bottled water as well as taxes – making for an idyllic golfing experience.
When hunger strikes, head over to the Lagoon Grill Restaurant for a delicious meal. Don’t forget to take advantage of our bar carts stocked with soft drinks and snacks while you’re out enjoying your day.

Step outside of your comfort zone to get a unique golfing experience with two 18-hole courses. The Nick Price-designed course is already available, while construction continues on the Tom Fazio layout.
Located just south of Cancun and a mere seven minutes from the airport, TPC Cancun Country Club is where you want to be for an unparalleled golf experience. The club provides all the amenities any golfer could hope for, including a pro shop, grill, luxury clubhouse, practice area, and even its very own golf academy.
What’s more? This country club is part of a much larger project that includes residential homes, hotel accommodations, and access to a beach club.

Nick Price, the renowned golf course designer, crafted this 18-hole Par 71 masterpiece with one goal in mind: to create a space that would celebrate and enhance its lush natural surroundings. To ensure that his vision became reality, Nick enlisted an expert team of wildlife consultants, biologists, civil engineers, and environmental experts during development.
The result? A lush green golf course that didn’t lay a finger on the surrounding flora and fauna during its development or since.
Their pleasant, polite, and experienced staff are at your service. With green fees, you will receive round-trip transportation, a golf cart complete with two bottles of water, tees to tee off with, as well as all the necessary tools like a divot repair tool and fresh towels after your game. Further amenities include dressing rooms equipped with lockers and safe deposit boxes for storing valuables while playing.

Nicklaus Par Three Experience at Vidanta Riviera Maya (formerly known as El Manglar Golf Club at Vidanta Riviera Maya) is a par 3 Jack Nicklaus masterpiece located between Cancun and Playa del Carmen.
Its natural Caribbean beauty emanates from its radiating white-sand bunkers, stone lakes, and an intelligent green that blends your target with the outlying weeds to create both interest in play and difficulty making par. The contrast of colors on this course will surely captivate any golfer looking for a challenge.
From the stunning natural beauty to its invigorating lakes, this golf course will not only put your skills to the test but also awe you with its timelessness. As you work through twelve of the holes, don’t let yourself be too distracted by native Mayan Jungle vegetation! This is all part of what makes this course so unique and rewarding.
