Best Reviews for Iberostar Golf Club

A must for every golfer visiting the Riviera Maya.

Randall Wills

A must stop for every golfer visiting the Riviera Maya. Pete Dye Classic design plays longer than the card. The winds above the jungle line make you play one more club. Best staff and track in the area.

A drop-dead gorgeous course with cenotes

Laureen Adam

Drop-dead gorgeous course with cenotes! I lost all my balls by the 12th hole! The obstacles are incredibly exciting. I suggest you have a minimum of 24 balls if you are an amateur like me.

Unbelievable course.

B G

I’ve played about 60 different courses across Canada, including PGA rated courses. Played in the Dominican Republic, and other high-end courses in Michigan. This course is by far the nicest. The scenery is beautiful. The price is insanely high, but this is a once in a lifetime course. Bring your camera, might see a crocodile. Coldwater is always on hand, they also provide cold wet towels (which do help). On the back 9 they have a Cenote right in the middle of the fairway. You don’t see some of this stuff anywhere else!!!

About Gran Coyote Golf Club

Formerly the Grand Coral Riviera Maya this beautiful golf course weaves around Mayan jungle with scenic views of the blue Caribbean Sea.

Nick Price, who hired a team of biologists and environmental consultants to create an extraordinary biodiverse course and protecting the native wildlife designed this course.

It’s sure to be a challenging course for most, testing your accuracy. Be prepared to lose a few golf balls along the way. There are water hazards on several holes and well-placed bunkers near the greens.

The greens are fantastic!

Tim DeLong

Gran Coyote is a beautifully conditioned and maintained 18 holes, championship golf course. It plays long, so with 5 sets of tees choose wisely. The greens are fantastic and the best in the Riviera Maya (in my opinion). Also, staff great staff and service to ensure you enjoy your round. Highly recommended!

This great course is hidden away

Thom White

Not busy, so tee times are flexible during summer. Small bar and restaurant featuring tasty food and a full bar. Small Hard Rock specific golf gear. Price higher than back home, but you’re on vacation and excellent customer service makes it worth it.

Great memories golfing in the jungle!

Wanderifumust

Some holes were challenging and others a nice break. Beautiful course! The beverage/snack cart came around in perfect time and made a great drink. The staff that checked us in were so helpful and friendly and the pro shop was great! We had a few really nice conversations. I would definitely recommend it! Thank you for the awesome time!

Fun and Challenging

Jeff S

I recently played the 18 hole par 3 course from the back tees. The holes range from 120 yards to 276 yards. Most have water hazards and are good and challenging. The course plays short from the up tees. Bring an extra sleeve of balls. It’s a good test trying to figure out yardage with the stiff breeze off the coast.

Continues to be a challenge

Howie

Course construction makes each hole a challenge to play. Wind conditions, layout of the greens, and pin position continue to make this an enjoyable and entertaining golf course to play.
