The Cozumel Country Club golf course was designed by Nicklaus Design Group and it took five years to be sculpted in the limestone, coral and saltwater marshes on the Northwest end of the island. This wonderful golf course is environmentally friendly, being carefully crafted from the surrounding mangroves and marshlands to preserve its environmental integrity.

Cozumel Country Club is the first golf course in Mexico to receive certification in Environmental Planning from the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System, an international program administered by Audubon International, designed to help landowners preserve and enhance the environmental quality of their property.

Created to provide a first-class golf test for players of any skill levels; Cozumel Country Club offers a challenging experience to the serious golfer and allows an enjoyable surrounding for the not so serious ones. All the holes carry the imminent threat of a ball lost forever in the jungle and in more than half, 13 of them, water comes into play.

After playing the par-five, 506 yard 9th hole, the degree of difficulty changes dramatically after the turn. Among a strong set of par threes, the 204 yard 5th and the 189 yard 12th are the best ones. The 7th hole is the handicap one, a dogleg left 407 yard par 4; but 16th and 18th holes are probably the hardest even though they are rated no. 2 and 4 on the card. Bermuda 419 was used for fairways and hybrid Bermuda for greens.

 

Once at the Cozumel Country Club you'll find the clubhouse, built with a rustic looking, thatched roof and decorated with beautiful native mahogany furniture created by a local carpenter. At the golf shop stores you will find the latest stuff in golf merchandise as well as rental clubs and Footjoy rental shoes. The snack bar offers light meals and beverages. You will also find two tiered practice tees with plenty of room for practice or just warm up, putting green and chipping green with a practice bunker, and golf instructions available from PGA Golf Professionals.
