Cozumel Country Club

Course description: Par 72; 6,724 yards

Price: $140.00 - Transportation; Golf Pro Escort; Cart and Green Fees.

 

A very exciting addition to our golf excursion offerings is this brand new

golf and country club located in Cozumel and just minutes away from downtown. This is Cozumel's first and only world class championship 18 hole golf course. It was created by the Nicklaus design team and incorporates the natural habitats of the island in its design and construction. This course is built around Cozumel's native trees, red mangroves and natural wetlands in order to preserve ecologically sensitive areas. There are only three areas on the golf course where golfers playing another hole are visible, allowing the golfers to enjoy the peace and quiet of the natural surroundings. We feel it is a "must play" for the vacationing golfer.

Thanks for the list, I've been trying to get it from Carnival. I don't see Chichen Itza offered as an excursion from Cozumel, yet it is on Carnival's website. However I don't see it possible anyway as our scheduled port time is 9 1/2 hrs and the tour is listed as 11.75 hours??? Also anyone have any idea if the Tulum tour really is at 7 hours, I have read that it takes much longer. Thank you!!!

Modest,

 

No, sorry. I only received what I asked for - Cozumel and Playa del Carmen. If you go to their website and click on "contact us" there is a form you can fill out. You should ask for a price sheet for excursions for a specific ship and sail date, if you know them. It took about a week to receive it. But I've also seen mention that starting in January, you can book them online.

Please see the list on this thread. I WILL NOT BE EMAILING IT TO ANYONE ELSE. I was unable to go back and edit that first message. There was such a big response for the list that I couldn't keep up - so I posted it here instead.

 

 

Thanks for understanding!

You guys are great! Thanks so much for all the thanks and appreciation. You're all worth it. I know frustrating it can be, especially if you're a first-timer - looking for information, trying to plan and not finding it and not knowing where to look.

 

I've benefited so much in just a short month of being on these boards! Anyone who is a member of another board, or none at all, doesn't know the wealth of information they are missing.

 

It's a way for me to say thanks to all the others who have helped me.
