Golf | Grand Luxxe Riviera Maya
Course Description
The Nicklaus-design, El Manglar Golf Course fuses pearly white sand traps and natural stone surrounding its two lakes, creating vibrant shades of green. This golf course is truly a delight for golf enthusiasts on the Mayan Riviera. As part of the extraordinary natural panorama, the lakes and natural vegetation on the Mayan jungle surround all 18 holes as obstacles to overcome.
Hole 17, christened “Donna-Green” is surrounded by a lake, two sand traps on each side and yet one more in the center of the green.
