Gran Coyote Golf Riviera Maya
Played On 11/18/2016Riviera Maya favorite
This is a lush, generous, and well manicured playground. It isn't tight and penal as many coastline tracks are. Bunkers are deep but the surrounding frog grass is gone (yes!). Lay open a 60deg and skim under to neutralize the soft sand.
Players in front disappeared during our 1 0'clock tee time and we never saw anyone behind. The rough is stiff and short and a ball does'nt seem to want to settle down in it but rather sit up as if on a tee. There are some death zones along the fairway edge that house a low running plant/vine. Especially true for the par 5 12th hole, right side.
Greens seemed hard and we both had trouble spinning to a stop and finding a mark to repair.
The fairway is hard and I couldn't dig my usual tunnels.
The staff are beautiful people. Manager Monica Bernal can melt this old sourpuss and pro shop Ariely gave me all the help I needed. {Inside advice, phoned my favorite taxi, Margarita #174}
The outside help are there at every turn without being in the way so I always tip all generously because I want to.
I ordered a hot dog last year and got a tasty meal for $5 us. We saw the snack buggy frequently.
Even though the price has increased this is the best course I play in the Riviera Maya. It checks all the boxes and handy, just a few minutes north of Playa del Carmen.
