STALKING
THE CHAMELEON

El Camaleón changes color and texture as it slithers through the jungle, mangrove and seafront. It hosts the Mayakoba Classic, the only PGA Tour event in Mexico.

Near Playa del Carmen, the Greg Norman course opens with a cenote right in the middle of the first fairway.

 

 

 

 

LATITUDES

While on staff at HCP/Aboard Publishing, wrote occasional features and sourced photos of the Mexican Caribbean and its world-class golf courses for Latitudes, the in-flight magazine of American Eagle.

 


RIVIERA MAYA AND COZUMEL

Find world-class diving, championship golf,
ancient Maya culture and trendy Maya cuisine

Growing up under the warm winter sun of Miami, I never quite understood all the fuss about cold and snow. Then I went north for college and was nuts by January.

One icy morning, I suddenly found myself investing the rent money in a few days on the Mexican Caribbean — the seductive coast that includes boisterous Cancún, bohemian Riviera Maya and peaceful Cozumel island.

Why not? It was right next door — warm, easy to afford, easy to reach. I was lured by the radiant beaches, at the intersection of broad, white, powdery sand and brilliant, blue, Caribbean sea.

MEXICAN CARIBBEAN GOLF

Eleven challenging golf courses make
the Mexican Caribbean a premium destination

The thirtysomething pharmaceutical rep had worked long and hard to get here, but what a reward! While his colleagues remained home in the icy Midwest, slogging through the snow still trying to make their numbers, Larry and his girlfriend basked in the toasty glow of another fabulous day of golf on the Mexican Caribbean.

“And it’s free,” erred the winner of his company’s sales contest. “It wasn’t free,” corrected the girlfriend. “You worked hard for this trip!”

Ten years ago, few golfers would have considered Cancún, Cozumel and Riviera Maya as a premium golf destination. Today, 10 luxurious courses of at least 18 holes, plus one with nine holes, lure golfistas to the Mexican Caribbean, with perennially balmy weather and scenic layouts designed by the likes of PB Dye, Robert von Hagge, Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman.
