Mexico — Riviera Maya
Mexico's Caribbean coast at its most impressive. El Camaleón at Mayakoba — cenotes, jungle, beach, mangroves — hosted the PGA Tour's World Golf Championship for over a decade. A 4-hour direct flight from Toronto with the world's deepest all-inclusive resort inventory. The best warm-weather option for mixed groups who want genuine golf alongside full resort access.

MUST-PLAY COURSES
El Camaleón at Mayakoba
WGC-México Championship venue (PGA Tour)
Cenotes, mangroves, jungle canopy, and beachside holes — all on one course. Former WGC host, the most dramatic setting in Mexican golf.
Playa Mujeres Golf Club
North of Cancun. Oceanfront holes, impeccable conditioning. Requires resort hotel stay.
Riviera Cancun Golf Club
Mangrove lagoons and beachside holes. Best value in the Cancun-Riviera corridor.
WHAT A TRIP LOOKS LIKE
Arrive Riviera Maya
Cancun International is a 45-minute transfer to the main resort corridor. The group has landed in the Caribbean — warm air, blue water, and an all-inclusive wristband waiting at check-in. Day 1 is for the pool and a group dinner.
El Camaleón at Mayakoba
The Riviera Maya's marquee course — Greg Norman's El Camaleón hosted the WGC-México Championship for over a decade and remains the most dramatically routed course in Mexican golf. The cenote crossing, the mangrove corridors, and the beachside holes are sequential surprises that make the scorecard almost irrelevant.
Riviera Cancun Golf Club
Jack Nicklaus's Riviera Cancun is a reliable second round — mangrove lagoons frame most fairways, beachside holes appear on the back nine, and the conditioning matches the visual quality. A good format day for the group competition.
Playa Mujeres Golf Club
Greg Norman's Playa Mujeres course sits north of Cancun and requires a resort hotel stay for access — but the oceanfront holes on the Caribbean make it the most visually arresting of the three courses. Worth the drive. A full resort beach club afternoon follows.
El Camaleón — Replay
The second run at El Camaleón goes faster and scores better — the cenote and mangrove holes are less surprising, which makes them more manageable. Run a singles competition and post the final standings at the resort swim-up bar.
Tulum, Cenotes & Depart
Day 6 goes off-resort: Tulum ruins in the morning (Caribbean views from Mayan clifftop temples), lunch in Playa del Carmen, and a cenote swim in the afternoon — the underground freshwater sinkholes of the Yucatan are genuinely unmissable. Day 7 depart.
GROUPS 12+ — For groups of 12+ in the Riviera Maya, an all-inclusive resort package with golf access is almost always the most cost-effective structure. Mayakoba Resort manages El Camaleón directly and offers group packages through a dedicated sales team — negotiate the hotel nights, green fees, dining credits, and transportation together rather than piecemeal. The savings on a 12-person package can be meaningful.
