Home of the PGA Tour's Mayakoba Classic, the first Tour event to be held in Mexico. Join us for the 2010 Mayakoba Classic from February 17-21!
El Camaleón is set to change the game of golf in Mexico. Designed by the legendary Greg Norman, the 7000 yard layout is unique – not just to this country but to the entire golfing kingdom. As its name suggests, El Camaleón is ever changing. The stunning Playa del Carmen golf course bends through three distinct landscapes – dense jungle, mangrove forests, and stunning, oceanfront stretches of sand and is bisected by massive, limestone canals. Norman has even incorporated a cenote, an ancient underground cavern and river system into the center of the opening fairway. From the tips, El Camaleón is a major league test, a real Shark bite. However, each hole is sprinkled with a minimum of four tee blocks, so there is a distance for players of every skill level. The ultimate in luxury Caribbean Cancun golf vacations.
While each hole shines with its own particular magic, it's this Cancun golf course's par 3s that already are earning the loudest raves. The 7th and 15th holes play right to the edge of the Caribbean Sea with the sand and the spray punctuating the breeze. In the distance is one of the world´s largest coral reefs and the island of Cozumel.
The 10th is another short hole that is long on memories. The figure eight green is lined with drama. A shot too long or to the right drops deep into the crystal waters of the canal.
While this Cancun golf course is a standout, the surrounding golf amenities are equally as impressive. The contemporary, copper-topped clubhouse is a full-service facility that rises above the 18th green. On its upper floor overlooking the course is a superb, Argentinean steak house. The adjoining practice facilities are among the best in Mexico and include a double-ended, 350 – yard driving range, a 20 000 sq. ft. short game area with putting and chipping greens. Professional golf instruction is also available.
Even more amazing is the luxury Playa del Carmen golf course's one-of-a-kind canal system, where golfers will be able to step from their rooms to a thatch-roofed boat, which will whisk them to the first tee. A round of golf at this course will be more than just another day on the greens, it will be a day to remember for a lifetime.
