Mayakoba offers incredible views, great golf

The World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba is one of the most desirable tournaments on the PGA Tour schedule. From the breathtaking views, beachfront holes, caves and vibrant fairways, even the professionals have something to brag about when they come.

The tournament is held at El Camaleón. The Greg Norman-designed course is a 7,024-yard, par-72 track located in Riviera Maya, just shy of 30 miles from Cancún International Airport in the Mayakoba resort property.

This course includes many features and facilities including one of the eight Jim McLean golf schools. Visitors can practice on the range, work on their short game or take advantage of TrackMan technology with the help of a certified instructor.

The course is an overwhelming beauty amidst the Mayan tropical jungle, and the flora and fauna are something to appreciate. The mangroves and canals are eye-catching and your eye might even stumble upon some live monkeys and iguanas throughout your round.

After your round, the cart barn has fresh fruit popsicles waiting for you and you can grab a bite to eat at the Koba restaurant, located within the club.
