HOST COURSE

The Iberostar Playa Paraiso Golf Club - Is a P.B. Dye-designed, 6,712 yard 18-hole course.
Situated across from the Iberostar Paraiso Maya resort. Discover world class golf in the Riviera Maya. The design incorporates the native Mayan jungle and dramatic vertical movement. Narrow fairways, undulating greens and deep bunkers will challenge your game from start to finish.

Prepare for a challenge and enjoy the views. Facilities include driving range and putting green as well as showers and lockers for both men and women. A full service pro shop offers the latest in golf merchandise. High quality rental equipment Titleist, Mizuno and Nike is available.


The game at Playa Paraiso Golf Club, starts easily enough with a straightforward par four, though you immediately encounter the rises and dips that characterize the entire course.
Nowhere is the treachery of the terrain more evident than on the par-four 17th hole, a 463-yard monster that heads straight into the wind amid a veritable minefield of swales and alleyways that serve to kick and funnel your ball at will.
Water enters your consciousness on a few holes, it's really the awkward lies, cavernous, grassy hollows, sand bunkers, and elevated, undulating greens that pose the challenges on a routing that stands in utter contrast to all other Cancun golf courses.
Otherwise, (and despite all the undulations), the course is a friendly layout.
Dye provides some bailout options, and he also thinned out the jungle a bit to aid recovery shots.
