The Nicklaus Design Golf Course at Grand Mayan Riviera Maya has been designed in a 1950's style to increase complexity. A masterpiece of technically and natural beauty, the signature hole is characterized by three traps- one on either side of the green and one in the middle.

Course Description

The first tee time is 7:30 am.

Nicklaus is the designer of this golf course. There are 18 holes here, and they have a total length of 2923 yards.

The Nicklaus Design Golf Course is set in a stunning location right on the water, and the beauty of the place is set off further by a pair of natural lakes that wander all throughout the course.

Jungle vegetation, tropical trees, and rock formations add to the laid-back Caribbean ambiance here on Mexico's eastern shore.
