Cancun and The Mexican Caribbean: A Golf Destination.

If you like golf, you have chosen the right place for your vacation. The Mexican Caribbean is well on the way to becoming a world-class golf destination. There are two 18-hole golf courses in the Cancun Hotel Zone and a Greg Norman-designed course in Playa Mujeres, 20 minutes north of the city. The Riviera Maya has golf courses at Playa Paraiso, Maya Koba, Playa del Carmen and Puerto Aventuras and several more are being developed. There is a Jack Nicklaus-designed course on the island of Cozumeland two more clubs are planned for the Cancun area.
This February, the Riviera Maya hosted the second Maya Koba Classic tournament, the first PGA official tour event to be staged in Mexico.

Annual Elizabeth Norman Sutton Charity Golf Tournament

For amateur lady golfers

Elizabeth Norman Sutton Tournament

The annual Elizabeth Norman Sutton Memorial Golf Tournament honors the memory of Elizabeth Sutton, beloved wife of Richard Sutton, one of the developers of Royal Resorts. Mrs. Sutton passed away in August 1998. An avid golfer, she played regularly for many years preceding her untimely death. The June tournament falls in her birth month, and honors the vitality and spirit of a lady who enjoyed the game of golf as much as she enjoyed her life and friends in Cancun.
