Set between Cancún’s hotel zone and the city, Puerto Cancún Golf Club is a Tom Weiskopf design that carves through tropical terrain with numerous holes running along the shoreline and the marina. From the back tees the routing measures just over 7,200 yards; the twisting fairways demand accuracy and the greens are defended by carefully placed traps. Almost every hole affords a view of the Caribbean, and the round culminates on a remarkable 18th hole whose green sits on an island in the club’s main canal.

THE DESIGN

Tom Weiskopf routing that prioritizes the terrain

Weiskopf’s routing at Puerto Cancún highlights the site’s tropical contours: twisting fairways and strategic greenside traps that test both distance and short-game accuracy across 18 holes.

THE VISTAS

Caribbean and marina views nearly every hole

Numerous holes run along the shoreline and the marina so players are rarely far from the sea; almost every hole offers views of the Caribbean’s azure water.

THE FINALE

An island green closes the round

The 18th hole finishes on a green set on an island in Puerto Cancún’s main canal — a distinctive finishing feature that frames the course’s waterside character.
