PGA Riviera Maya by Bahia Príncipe Golf
PGA Riviera Maya by Bahia Príncipe Golf
PGA Riviera Maya by Bahia Príncipe Golf is the modern heart of championship golf in the Yucatán Peninsula. Designed by Robert Trent Jones II and opened in 2010, it is one of Mexico’s most celebrated resort courses, combining the wild beauty of the jungle with refined design and PGA-level conditioning. The result is a course that feels both exhilarating and serene, where each hole flows naturally through the tropical landscape.
The layout features wide fairways framed by limestone, native palms, and cenotes carved deep into the earth. Strategic bunkering and water features test precision while the greens reward creativity and touch. Every round is a study in contrast, moving from dense jungle corridors to open, sunlit clearings that reveal the brilliant turquoise sky above. The course is also home to a nine-hole executive layout that offers a relaxed introduction to the region’s championship style.
Cypress and Salt curates Riviera Maya escapes that balance luxury and discovery. Guests enjoy oceanfront stays at Bahia Príncipe Resort or nearby boutique hotels, private transfers, curated dining inspired by local flavors, and opportunities to explore Tulum’s coastline and cenote network. PGA Riviera Maya is golf immersed in the rhythm of the tropics, where nature and design create perfect harmony.
