COZUMEL The most remote experience can be found on Cozumel, an island located off the coast of the Riviera
Maya. Accessible via ferry from Playa del Carmen, Cozumel is a true exotic getaway. But you don’t need to
worry about roughing it as there is an impressive selection of luxury resorts
set amongst the flora and fauna.

Country Club

Cozumel in ancient Mayan translates to “Island of the Swallow,” so it is only fitting that golfers
hit their fair share of birdies here. Since its opening in 2001, the
Cozumel
Country Club, built by Nicklaus Design Group,
has been steadily attracting more
travelers to the
island.
The Nicklaus Design Group has
successfully balanced the
strict requirements of building a first-class
championship golf course with the
need to preserve the delicate
ecosystem of the area. The golf course features
channels built beneath
roadways and bridges to provide safe passage for blue
crabs, iguanas
and other native
wildlife.
Sculpted from the
Mayan jungle and woven through the native
mangroves, the 18 holes
accommodate golfers of all skill levels with four sets
of tees. The
country club’s practice area includes a putting green, chipping
area
with practice bunker and wide, two-tiered practice tee. Cozumel Country
Club offers packages and discounted rates through several island hotels
and
cruise lines.
What makes the property so special? Because of its strong commitment to the environment, the
Cozumel Country Club became the first course in Mexico to earn
the prestigious designation of Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary from
Audubon International in March 2006.
What will visitors be surprised to find when they visit? The tranquility and simplicity of the golf course and
facilities. With 18 beautiful holes and a smaller pro shop, the focus here is
100 percent golf. Cozumel Country Club is proud to offer golf in an unassuming
setting that’s right on point with the island’s relaxed vibe.
What phrase best describes the property? Tropical ambiance and atmosphere
