Overview
PGA Riviera Maya Golf Club by Bahia Principe was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. in 2010 and is set on a former limestone quarry in dense jungle with natural occurring cenotes. The front nine at PGA Riviera Maya is lined by tropical jungle and thick mangrove roots, as well as rock formations that jut out and protect many of the holes. The 432-yard par-4 sixth demonstrates these challenges as an elevated putting surface appears to dangle over a cenote protecting the green. Seven water-lined holes await players on the back nine, highlighted by the par-5 14th with limestone rock outcroppings guarding the green as well as the 245-yard par-3 15th with water surrounded by mangrove trees running the entire right-side of the hole. The course is a partner of the PGA of America and is conveniently located 30 minutes from Playa del Carmen International Airport and 60 minutes from Tulum.
