The Nicklaus Design Golf Course

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.

The layout, difficulty of the holes, and surprise challenges all came from the imagination of Nicklaus, the lead architect of The Nicklaus Design Golf Course. They have 18 holes here, which measure a total 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.
