BEST COURSE IN PLAYA DEL CARMEN AREA

We played as a foursome with 2 couples, the wives just started playing in 2014. Booked out tee times with GolfNow and arranged for transportation for a 11:00 pick up for a 12:20 tee time.
When we arrived the staff grabbed our bags got the in carts while we went into the pro shop. It took less than 2 minutes to get checked in. The Iberostar package includes food and beverages and we hit some balls at the range and then grabbed lunch before our round.
The course is very well layed out for advanced players and beginners. We played our 18 holes in just over 4 hours and never got pushed due to beginners in our group.
I can't say enough good things about this course and staff. If you are in the Playa Del Carmen area this is the course that you should go to.

Nice course, poor staff inside

We played the Grand Coral twice the week of January 26th. We booked through Golf now for early morning tee times. Prior to our first round we called to make transportation arrangements and set up a 7:35 pick up at our resort. By 7:50 with no transportation in site we grabbed a taxi and went over. When we mentioned the problem they basically accused us of lying about setting up the ride. Then they informed us that because we booked with GolfNow transportation wouldn't have been uncluded anyways. The basic opinion of the inside staff was that every step that they had to do to check you in was a major task and took a good 10 min and was very uncomfortable experience.
Now, the staff outside was very friendly and made for a very good experience. The course is nice, but coming from New England and not having been able to plays for a few months made for a tougher experiance on the course. Out is out and you are not going to find your ball. A few holes have unseen ground cover that will ruin what you think is a good shot. Overall the course is good but sometimes unfair. I don't think I would come back to this course.

Much better value and treatment up at the Iberostar Paraiso,
