Playacar is an upscale resort area of Playa del
Carmen. Located south of Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico in the municipality
of Solidaridad, it is a gated community that has grown with Playa del Carmen,
just south of its main urban area. It is composed of 2 sections: the first
one, Playacar Phase 1 offers nice by-the-sea secluded beaches and very exclusive
villas, very close to downtown Playa del Carmen. The second, Playacar Phase II,
was built around a golf course designed by Robert von Hagge, and exposes all
inclusive resorts and private villas all around.
The Golf Club at Playacar offers the perfect combination of natural
beauty and man-men creations. This magnificent golf course, carved
out of the dense Mayan Jungle is only a few hundred yards away from
the crystal-clear, turquoise ocean and the fine white sands of the
Mexican Caribbean Sea.
The intelligent architectural design of the golf course has
converted Playa del Carmen into one of the most popular tourism
destinations in all of Mexico.
The Golf Club at Playacar was inaugurated September 15th, 1994. This
7,144 yards, par 72, championship golf course was designed and built
under the watchful eye of renowned architect Robert Von Hagge. With
a slope rating of 148 from the championship tees, 136 from the white
tees, and 134 from the red tees, it is as challenging to play as it
is beautiful to view.
The Club House is a traditional Mayan structure complete with a
large palapa covered banquet area. The club house also includes a
fully stocked pro-shop, men's and women's locker areas, and of
course the famous 19th Hole. Also included in the clubhouse is a
large, secure storage with room for up to 300 golf bags, so that
golfers can leave their bags at the course and not have to worry
about hauling them around all week.
For those golfers who choose to leave their clubs at home, we have
over 100 sets of rental clubs available for both men and women. The
player may choose from Callaway, Cobra, or Taylor Made rental sets,
and are available in both steel and graphite, and for both right
handed as well as left handed golfers.
Before beginning your round, be sure to warm up at our world-class
practice area. Along with a driving range that will accommodate even
the longest of hitters, we have an excellent short-game area
including a large putting green complete with chipping and pitching
areas as well as a green side sand bunker.
After your round, be sure to visit the 19th Hole, and enjoy one of
our famous hamburgers along with your favorite beverage. The 19th
hole overlooks the 18th green and is the perfect ending to a perfect
day in golfing paradise!!!
Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya tourist information:
Playa del Carmen itself has Mayan roots; its original
name was Xamán-Há. The Maya used it as launching point for pilgrimages to
Cozumel, which
they held to be the home of Ixchel, the goddess of the moon, love, pregnancy and
childbirth.
Though remnants or buildings left
behind by this ancient civilization still dot Playa’s shores, the town has
changed somewhat since the decline of the Maya, much less over the last twenty
years. Those who remember it as nothing more than a ferry stop will be stared by
the changes.
Some locals claim the town is the
fasted growing community in Mexico. First time visitors are the lucky ones. They
simply arrive, find themselves dazzled by the charm, and never want to leave.
