PGA Riviera Maya is a fantastic choice for a Mexico golf holiday, especially for UK golfers looking for winter sun, Caribbean beaches and a proper championship course close to Tulum and Akumal. Set within the Riviera Maya, the course gives golfers that classic Mexico mix of tropical jungle, limestone rock, natural water features and warm-weather resort comfort.

The main course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout designed by Robert Trent Jones II and opened in 2010. It stretches to around 7,272 yards from the back tees, giving stronger golfers a serious test, while multiple tee options help make the round enjoyable for a wider range of players. The wider complex also includes a 9-hole course, golf academy, clubhouse and restaurants, making it useful for groups, couples and mixed-ability golfers who want flexibility during their stay.

For golfers, the course is memorable because it feels so tied to the Riviera Maya landscape. Fairways run through dense jungle, mangroves, limestone formations and natural cenotes, with water and bunkering adding challenge throughout the round. It is scenic, but not sleepy — good positioning and sensible club selection matter, especially when the wind or water comes into play.

PGA Riviera Maya also has growing international credibility, having been named Mexico’s Best Golf Course at the World Golf Awards in both 2024 and 2025.

For Hashtag Golf Travel clients, it works brilliantly as part of a Riviera Maya golf break with beach resorts, Tulum, cenotes, Mayan history and Caribbean downtime all close by.
