Unique in the world, the course harmonizes with the unspoiled tropical forest. The par-72 course offers an ever-shifting terrain that moves gracefully from jungle, mangroves, limestone canals to the sea.
El Camaleón has been chosen to host the historic first PGA TOUR event in Mexico, the Mayakobá Golf Classic, the week of February 19-25, 2007.
When not on the course, you can work on your backswing at the adjoining driving range and practice facility or retire to the Mayan-influenced clubhouse and dining room that rises above the 18th green.
