Cancun Golf Club
Mexico has become one of the most attractive destinations in the world for golf getaways. The IBEROSTAR Cancún Golf Club has a fantastic location in the heart of the Cancun hotel zone. It is not surprising that this exotic golf destination is a favorite with both local and international players. The course is nestled between the Caribbean Sea and Nichupté Lagoon and is surrounded by mangroves of abundant native flora and exotic fauna.

Veteran Japanese golfer Isao Aoki was responsible for the design of this world-renowned, par 72, 18-hole championship golf course that spans more than 125 acres of Cancun's characteristic subtropical landscape. The course harmoniously integrates many of the natural inlets of the lagoon and uses them as water hazards. The fairways, wide and impressive, provide solace from the challenging Caribbean winds. Perfectly raked bunkers, smooth and fast greens complete a postcard setting.

Drinks and snacks are included in the green fee during and after your round.
