El ManglarLocationCarretera Federal Cancun Playa del Carmen Km 48 - Playa del Carmen, 77710 DescriptionMayan Palace Riviera Maya Golf: Located between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, the Jack Nicklaus-designed, 18-hole, par 54 golf course (it’s a great little Executive par-3 course) features numerous sand traps, fast undulating Tifward greens, picturesque lakes surrounded by natural rocks and the vegetation of the natural waste lands. The natural landscape featuring lakes and native Mayan vegetation is a huge part of the challenge and will provide a constant distraction. The greens, have been constructed using a 1950’s style that make them quite complex. The fairways, Bermuda 419, are often tight and water is in play over many of the holes. Signature HoleThe signature hole is 17 - known as the Donna green. It’s features two strategically-placed traps, one on each side of the green. What makes this the signature hole, however, is the trap that Nicklaus placed right in the middle of the green, making it unique among greens and further complicating the challenge.
