If you’re considering a golf outing while exploring the stunning Riviera Maya, the Gran Coyote Golf Course offers a compelling mix of natural beauty and challenging play. Designed by Nick Price, a legend in professional golf, this course is much more than a scenic backdrop—it’s a serious test for players of all skill levels. With fairways that blend seamlessly into the lush coastal environment, you’ll find it’s as much about the experience as the game.
Two things we particularly like about this tour are its convenience—roundtrip transportation included means no fuss—and the quality of the course itself, which balances challenge with spectacular views. That said, if you’re not used to playing in wind-prone coastal areas, the breezes might catch you off guard. This experience suits avid golfers, newcomers eager for a memorable round, or travelers wanting to enjoy a top-tier course without the hassle of planning.
