About PGA Riviera Maya - Championship Course

PGA Riviera Maya's Championship Course is an 18-hole, par-72 Robert Trent Jones II design at the Bahia Principe development near Akumal. The course was inaugurated in 2010 and measures 7,272 yards from its longest tees. It forms part of a 27-hole golf complex alongside a separate nine-hole par-three layout.

The championship routing was cut into limestone terrain and integrates native jungle, mangroves, lakes, exposed rock and cenotes. The developer identifies it as the first golf course developed by Piñero. Its combination of natural rock and water is central to the routing rather than being an unrelated landscaping theme, with the course occupying terrain excavated and shaped through a limestone quarry.

The course is an 18-hole resort golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,650m (7,272 yards). Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr, the course originally opened in 2010. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Practice Facilities, Golf Academy, Pro Shop.

Origins

The Championship Course was developed by Piñero as the principal full-length golf course at its Riviera Maya property and was inaugurated in 2010.

Design Philosophy

Robert Trent Jones II's team worked the course into limestone quarry terrain, combining the exposed rock with jungle, mangroves, lakes and cenotes. The 18-hole layout was designed as the championship component of a 27-hole complex.

Development

The property includes the 18-hole Championship Course and a separate nine-hole par-three course intended for shorter rounds, beginners and short-game practice.

Today

The Championship Course remains the main 18-hole layout at PGA Riviera Maya and measures 7,272 yards from the longest tees.
