Designed by The Nicklaus Design Group, the 6,734-yard, par 72 course at the Cozumel Country Club provides challenges for players of every level of skill while preserving the surrounding mangrove marshlands and tropical rainforest. Founded with an ecological commitment, the course blends the requirements for championship golf with consideration for the environmental concerns for the site.

For non-golfing companions, the resort’s on-property, five-star PADI dive center, Scuba Du, offers snorkeling and scuba diving amidst one of the world’s largest coral reef systems. Deep-sea fishing excursions also are available.
