This photo was taken in stealth mode, there is no one allowed on this Jack Nicklaus designed golf course unless you are playing golf. One of the main reasons is the 15 ft crocodile that crawls from hole to hole plus there is a swamp that you have to walk right by, oops I didn’t plan so well. After checking out 17 holes on foot I found this beautiful reflection and sunset on hole 18 then walked back to the resort which took 45 min. :)
More about Jack Nicklaus Golf Course – Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Nicklaus Design has succeeded in imprinting the seal of creative, revolutionary, and modern design of our trademark.
An 18 hole par 54, that is 2,923 yards long, combines pearly white sand traps, natural stone around its two lakes, an intense color in its greens and waste areas, this golf course is truly a delight for golf enthusiasts on the Mayan Riviera. As part of the extraordinary natural panorama, the lakes and natural vegetation of the Mayan jungle surround all 18 holes as obstacles to overcome.
Hole 17, Christened “Donna-Green”, is surrounded by a lake, two sand traps on each side and one more in the center of the green. This makes it the only of its kind and turns the desired par into an even greater challenge.
