El Camaleón Golf Club at the Fairmont Mayakoba Hotel, Quintana Roo, Mexico
The name of the club, as it is easy to guess, comes from the name of a butterfly – probably because the landscape is very changeable. The club’s golf courses are full of “hazards” – sand dunes and mangroves, cenotes (natural holes in the ground) with names like “Devil’s Mouth” and beautiful lagoons.
The El Camaleón golf course, nestled under the rainforest canopy in Playa del Carmen, is unique not only in Mexico, but in the world. Like the chameleon for which the course is named, El Camaleón offers players a variety of enticing challenges: fairways combined with sand dunes and mangroves, original obstacles such as cenotes (underground caves) and lagoons with crystal clear water, and greens on the edge of the cliff above the Caribbean Sea.
