If you're in the Cancun/Riviera Maya area, you must play this course. This Greg Norman design is difficult yet fair, well designed, and immaculately maintained. The greens are fast and true, the practice tee is tour quality, as is the putting/chipping area. I understand why the PGA stops here in November. The real beauty of the course is in its... More

Super expensive! But the views from hole 7&15 are super amazing! We finished the round in about 2 1/2 hrs so they said we could play as much as we could get in before our ride showed up which was in about and hour and a half for no extra charge. We decided against that as we wanted to get... More

Perfect conditions greens, fairways, bunkers....must play if given the chance. The playability for a pro course was appreciated, I cannot think of a negative statement to say about this course.

the place is a great play for the driver, most holes are quite open, but like any course keep it in the fairway or pull out another ball and stroke

This golf course is top notch. Can see why the PGA holds a tour event at the facility. We are in to our 4th golf game this week at a different course everyday. So far Mayakoba golf course has been the best maintained and difficult. Practice area was perfect, tee boxes, fairways were perfect and the greens .. Just professional... More
