This is the one course here you can reach without leaving town. The gate is on Paseo Xaman-Ha, in Playacar Phase II. Robert von Hagge laid it out. The club's own fact sheet lists 18 holes, par 72 and 7,136 yards from the black tees, with four shorter sets behind it: blue 6,655, white 6,269, gold 5,750 and red 5,176. It runs 365 days a year, from 6 a.m. until dusk. It is also the only course here whose operator puts its whole rate card on the page.
- The only course inside Playa del Carmen itself
- The operator publishes the full rate card, four tiers by time of day and age
- Cart, unlimited practice balls, food and drinks are already in the green fee
- Open 365 days a year, 6 a.m. until dusk
- Fact sheet with par, yardage by tee, slope and rating
- The operator disagrees with itself on yardage: its fact sheet says 7,136 off the black tees, its web page says 6,775
- No website of its own, the course information lives inside the hotel's site
- The rate card itself warns that prices change without notice
It sits inside the Corasol development, on the Puerto Juárez federal highway at km 294+700. Nick Price designed it. The course page publishes 18 holes, par 71, 7,043 yards and paspalum turf. Memberships are sold, and the pro shop also takes visitor tee times, with a phone number and email listed. What the page never publishes anywhere is a green fee.
- Full spec sheet from the operator: holes, par, yardage and turf
- Pro shop phone and email published, no middleman
- Paspalum fairways and greens
- No green fee published, you have to ask for it
- Its own domain, grancoyote.com, no longer reaches a course page: it redirects to the corasol.mx home page
- The page carries no date signal of any kind
It sits inside the Mayakoba complex, run by Golf de Mayakoba, part of Grupo RLH. Greg Norman laid it out: 18 holes, par 72, five tee markers per hole. Its own page now leads with the LPGA Tour. The sixteen PGA TOUR events it held, and the two LIV Golf dates, are written in the past tense. It is open to the public and you do not need to stay at the resort to play it.
- Greg Norman par 72, five tee markers per hole
- The operator publishes both rates separately, prime time and twilight
- Open to the public, no resort stay required
- LPGA Tour host
- The highest green fee on this list
- Club rental is $80 USD on top
- The operator states no season with its rates, so there is no telling whether they climb in winter
A working course with its own spec sheet published by Iberostar: 18 holes, par 72, 6,800 yards and paspalum turf, plus slope and rating by tee set. P.B. Dye designed it and it opened in 2005. The operator publishes no green fee figure, but it does say what the fee covers: a buggy, appetisers and unlimited drinks during the round. It also runs a shuttle between the complex hotels and the course.
- Full spec sheet: holes, par, yardage, turf, slope and rating
- Buggy, appetisers and unlimited drinks are already in the green fee
- Tee-off times, intervals and twilight hour all published
- Return shuttle between the complex hotels and the course
- No green fee figure published, you have to ask
- The site blocks automated access: it errors out for a bot and opens normally in a browser
- The page carries no date signal
One facility, two layouts: an 18-hole course and a 9-hole par 3. The Robert Trent Jones II team designed both, and they sit inside the Tulum Country Club residential complex, 25 km from Tulum by the operator's own count. The operator runs three of its own names side by side: PGA Riviera Maya, Riviera Maya Golf Club and Riviera Maya Golf Club Bahia Principe. Since 2019 it has been the first complex in Latin America partnered with the PGA of America. The Tulum Championship, a Korn Ferry Tour event, plays here April 16 to 19, 2026, and the course is on that calendar through at least 2027.
- Two distinct layouts on one property, an 18-hole course and a 9-hole par 3
- Korn Ferry Tour host, with dates published and a deal through at least 2027
- Spells out exactly what the green fee covers
- Partnered with the PGA of America since 2019
- No green fee figure published, you have to ask
- Publishes no par for either layout
- The farthest course on this list
Comparison
| Course | Green fee | Holes / Par | Designer | From Parque Fundadores |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hard Rock Golf Club Riviera Maya | $250 USD, 18 holes | 18, par 72 | Robert von Hagge | 2.4 km |
| Gran Coyote Golf | Inquire | 18, par 71 | Nick Price | 7.5 km |
| El Camaleón Golf Course | $375 USD Prime Time | 18, par 72 | Greg Norman | 10.3 km |
| Iberostar Playa Paraíso Golf Club | Inquire | 18, par 72 | P.B. Dye | 21.3 km |
| PGA Riviera Maya | Inquire | 18 + 9 par 3 | Robert Trent Jones II | 35 km |
The order runs by distance from Parque Fundadores, in Playa del Carmen, nearest first. Where it says inquire, the operator publishes no rate on its site and we run no figure. Vidanta Riviera Maya is not in this table because it is a par 3, and comparing it with these five tells you nothing useful.
A par 3 course, for half a day
It is not in the table above because it is not the same thing. This is a Nicklaus Design par 3 layout of 2,923 yards, which the operator presents as a short course rather than a championship one. Setting its yardage next to a par 72 tells you nothing useful: they are two different ways to spend a morning. It works for a half-day round, for starting out, or for playing alongside someone who does not play.
- Short format, good for half a morning
- Nicklaus Design layout
- A reasonable way in for a beginner, or for playing with someone who does not golf
- Not a championship course, and not comparable to the five above
- The operator publishes no green fee
- The page carries no date signal
