El Camaleón Golf Mexico: A Place for Legends

 

Find Design by Greg Norman at Mayakoba Golf Course

Legendary Australian golfer Greg Norman is the mastermind behind the Mayakoba golf course, El Camaleón. This breathtaking 18-hole, par-72 course is the first PGA course in Latin America, traversing lush mangroves and jungles, freshwater canals and lagoons, until it reaches the glistening Caribbean. Along the way, you’ll discover that the landscape transforms just like a chameleon would, giving the course its name. 

 

The Iconic Mayakoba Bunker and More Surprises Await

With five tee marks at each hole – graced with colorful chameleons –, El Camaleón allows golfers at different levels of expertise to practice their game. Each of the 18 holes represents a unique challenge and offers an opportunity to connect with nature, yet there are definitive standouts that players will not forget. Hole 7 features a fairway cave nicknamed “the Devil’s Mouth,” a natural cenote that speaks of the Riviera Maya’s natural beauty. Ocean lovers will delight when reaching hole 15, with sparkling views of the Mexican Caribbean. Make sure to keep your camera at hand for snapshots of a memorable game. Recent renovations mean that playing at El Camaleón is more challenging – and more fun – than ever before. Bunker elevations have been modified, while tee boxes are now larger.
