Pok Ta Pok: Cancun’s oldest and most prestigious golf club
Cancun has become a world-class golf destination with at least 15 golf courses scattered around the city that cater for all golf levels, from amateur to pro.
Many of Cancun’s golf courses have unique terrain, using mangroves, lagoons, jungle and even ancient Mayan ruins to make your golf experience more enjoyable and memorable.
Pok Ta Pok Golf Course
Nestled between the Nichupte Lagoon and the Caribbean Sea, lies Cancun’s oldest and most prestigious golf club. Designed in 1976 by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Cancun Golf Club at Pok-Ta-Pok artistically incorporates hundreds of meters of dramatic shoreline and ancient Mayan ruins into a truly enjoyable experience for golfers of all abilities.
With a wealth of archaeological treasures dating back to the ancient Mayas of a thousand years ago, the internationally renowned Cancun Golf Club at Pok-Ta-Pok challenges even the best of players, who actually aim to avoid the 1,000 year-old ruins of luminous sandstone which serve as a natural historic hazard.
Beware, some golf courses even have resident crocodiles!
