Golf Vacations 1-2-3

With a life of its own, golf can bring out the best and worst in people – from proud achievement to intense frustration – but always determination to master the course. The challenge is what makes golfing so much fun, and playing on ‘new’ golf courses even more so. A golf vacation provides this opportunity. Golfers can visit exciting places with family or friends, while playing on different courses.

Still, extra details need coordination when planning a golf vacation, which can be time-consuming. Prearranged vacation packages are a great alternative if they include the option to play at more than one golf course and offer discount tee times at those courses. Without careful vacation planning, the costs of playing golf may be higher than anticipated and preferred tee times may not be available.

Golf Packages

Locating international golf courses and scheduling tee times can be tedious and costly when premium rates are charged for independent coordination. The smart alternative is selecting from personalized golf packages that offer various hotels and courses at lower than premium rates. In Cancun and the Riviera Maya, Mexico, and in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, RedGolf® offers personalized golf packages as affordable and easy as 1-2-3.

Here’s how it works:

1.) Schedule tee times at one or more listed golf courses:

Classic Finish at Mayakoba Golf Classic


It was an extraordinary day for a golf tour at an extraordinary golf course in the Riviera Maya, Mexico. This past Sunday, February 27th, the Mayakoba Golf Classic had its final round of the PGA tour after three days of intense competition at El Camaleon Golf Club. Located on the tropical grounds of the Fairmont Mayakoba resort, one of three Mayakoba resorts in the Caribbean region of Mexico, it is one of many professional golf courses near Cancun.

Golf Winners

Tension filled the air as players and spectators made their final pass along this exceptional 18-hole, par 72, golf course designed by Greg Norman. RedGolf® followed two pairings of professional golfers through the entire course - Levin, Lyle, Quinney; and Wagner, Stroud, Gates - watching Levin (CA, USA) and Wagner (NC, USA) ultimately reach a tie at 17 under par, resulting in a playoff where Wagner won by one stroke. John Cook (FL, USA) finished third, and Chris Stroud (TX, USA) finished fourth.

El Camaleon Golf Course at Mayakoba

El Camaleon golf course is not only ideal for golfers but is also enjoyable for spectators. Certified by Audubon International for its environmentally friendly design, the course incorporates the rainforest and mangroves with winding sea channels passing through lush tropical vegetation. It is a place to enjoy tropical nature and the Caribbean Sea, while strolling along paved pathways and crossing wooden bridges, ultimately relaxing at the modern club house over a meal and cocktails.

Golf Vacation

Mayakoba resorts and its facilities have much to offer professional and amateur golfers, and are well-equipped for family travel, including a world-class Mayan spa. Avid golfers can enjoy a family vacation, bringing the wife and kids, golfer and non-golfer friends alike, since golf resorts offer a wide variety of vacation activities, such as water sports, beach games, nature tours, and kids’ clubs with children’s activities to keep everyone entertained.

The beautiful weather, exquisite nature, and luxury resort may have offered some consolation for the non-winners of the tour although probably not sufficient for their labors. Still, it was a beautiful day with sunny, partly cloudy skies, moderate wind, warm temperatures, and lower-than-normal humidity. The weather, nature, and amenities of many of the Playa del Carmen resorts make this an incredible place for a dream golf vacation.
