El Camaleon Mayakoba is a work of art designed by Greg Norman, located in the luxury resort "Mayakoba". This 18-hole, par 72 golf course gets its name from its diverse layout and ever-changing landscape, which bends through the tropical jungle, dense mangroves, stunning oceanfront stretches of sand and long channels with limestone borders.
At El Camaleon Mayakoba Golf Club, golf enthusiasts can admire fairways covered with the dark-green tones of Paspalum grass. The fairways are lined with sand dunes and mangroves and the course features unique hazards such as cenotes (a system of subterranean caves and sinkholes) and crystal clear lagoons.
This multifaceted golf course includes a 360-yard double-sided driving range, a fully stocked Golf Pro Shop, locker rooms and a snack bar. There is also the “Club Car Precedent” golf cart fleet, equipped with Uplink Third Generation GPS yardage information software. The players can record electronically their scores and can order food and drinks from there too!
El Camaleon Mayakoba made history by becoming the first golf course to host an official PGA Tour event in Mexico. The Mayakoba Golf Classic was held February 19-25, 2007 and offered a purse of $3.5 million USD. Fred Funk was the charismatic champion of this historic golf event in the Rivera Maya, defeating Argentinian Jose Coceres in a sudden death playoff. El Camaleon Mayakoba has been the host of this world class event again on February 2009.
El Camaleon Mayakoba Golf Course will give you an unsurpassed lifetime experience, framed by the unspoiled nature of Mayan cenotes, tropical streams and the Caribbean Sea.
