Golf At PGA Riviera Maya
Set within the lush landscapes of the Riviera Maya, PGA Riviera Maya offers a golf experience where championship design meets the natural contours of the Mayan jungle. Here, cenotes, natural lakes, and dense greenery are not simply surroundings, but integral elements of the course itself.
Designed by Robert Trent Jones II and recognized as the first PGA of America partner destination in Latin America, the course delivers both technical excellence and environmental harmony. Located within close reach of Waldorf Astoria Riviera Maya, it becomes an effortless extension of the resort experience, where each round is thoughtfully arranged and every detail is seamlessly managed.
A Championship Golf Course in Mexico
PGA Riviera Maya presents a 27-hole layout that moves fluidly through jungle, limestone, and water. The 18-hole championship course stretches across more than 7,200 yards, offering a technically engaging round shaped by natural contours and strategic design. Fairways emerge from dense vegetation, while cenotes and lakes introduce both visual contrast and carefully placed challenges.
Alongside it, the 9-hole par-3 course provides a more flexible approach to the game. It offers an ideal setting for refining short play, introducing newer golfers to the sport, or enjoying a more relaxed round without sacrificing the integrity of the experience.
Together, these courses reflect a design philosophy that respects the landscape rather than reshaping it, allowing each round to feel connected to the environment in which it unfolds.
Improve Your Game at PGA Golf Academy
Instruction at the PGA Golf Academy is approached with the same level of precision and personalization as the course itself. Lessons are guided by PGA professionals who focus on building a natural, repeatable swing through an understanding of each player’s physical movement and ability.
Rather than relying on overly technical instruction, the approach is designed to feel intuitive, helping players develop confidence without overcomplication. Whether refining fundamentals or advancing technique, each session is shaped around individual goals.
- Private lessons with PGA-certified professionals
- On-course instruction focused on strategy and decision-making
- Group sessions and multi-lesson programs
- Advanced swing analysis using TrackMan technology
Each experience is structured to support long-term improvement while maintaining a sense of ease and enjoyment throughout the learning process.

Golf in the Mayan Jungle
What distinguishes PGA Riviera Maya is not only its design, but its setting. Each hole is framed by the textures and movement of the surrounding jungle, where native vegetation and shifting light create a sense of immersion throughout the round.
The course moves through a landscape shaped by time, where limestone formations and water features introduce both complexity and calm. Players navigate fairways that feel at once expansive and enclosed, with sightlines that evolve naturally from one hole to the next.
Wildlife occasionally appears along the edges of play, and the presence of cenotes and natural lakes reinforces the connection between sport and environment. The experience becomes less about score and more about rhythm, focus, and place.
