Moon Palace
Moon Palace
Set amidst the lush tropical landscape of Cancun and inside the 2,500-room Moon Palace hotel complex, this 27-hole golf course stands as a testament to Jack Nicklaus' design genius.
The Moon Palace hotel is a relatively recent addition to the Riviera Maya region, opening its doors in 2011. This sprawling all-inclusive resort has three distinct sections, each with its own unique ambiance and amenities, offering an array of services that include a variety of dining options ranging from casual buffets to fine dining restaurants, multiple pools, a water park, a world-class spa, live shows and nightclubs.
This 27-hole golf course offers three distinct 9-hole layouts — the Jungle, Lakes, and Dunes courses — each providing a unique challenge and stunning scenery. Spanning over 7,100 yards from the back tees, the course winds through dense mangroves, tranquil lakes, and towering sand dunes, creating a visually stunning and diverse golfing experience.
The Jungle course features tight fairways lined with tropical vegetation, demanding accuracy and strategic shot-making. The Lakes course tests players with numerous water hazards that come into play on several holes, requiring careful club selection and precision. The Dunes course features dramatic elevation changes and undulating fairways, testing players' ability to adapt to varying lies and wind conditions. Each of the three courses boasts meticulously maintained greens, strategic bunkering, and captivating natural beauty.
While the course hasn't hosted professional tournaments, it remains a popular venue for amateur and corporate events. Its diverse layout, excellent conditioning, and proximity to Cancun's hotel zone make it an attractive option for organizers. The course's ability to accommodate large groups and provide a first-class experience makes it a coveted destination for various golfing events throughout the year.
