El Camaleón Golf Course
El Camaleón Golf Course
El Camaleón Golf Course is a masterpiece of championship design where jungle, mangroves, canals, and Caribbean shoreline collide in breathtaking fashion. Designed by Greg Norman and opened in 2006, the layout has hosted multiple PGA Tour and LIV Golf events. The course delivers a rare combination of world-class architecture and natural wonder that defines Riviera Maya golf.
The routing winds from dense tropical foliage through limestone outcrops and water features before emerging onto two spectacular oceanfront finishing holes. Elevation changes are subtle yet strategic, the greens demand precision, and the famous cenote bunker at the seventh hole has become one of the most photographed features in the Caribbean. Every round feels like a journey through land and sea.
Cypress and Salt curates El Camaleón escapes that balance elite golf with immersive Caribbean luxury. Guests stay at beachfront five-star resorts, enjoy curated dining beneath the stars, explore Mayan ruins, and dive in private cenotes. El Camaleón is where sport and spectacle meet, and every tee time feels like a journey through paradise.
