From a PGA Tour host on the Riviera Maya to the Nicklaus clifftops of Los Cabos, ranked with our verdicts and what each delivers for a company event.
01
Riviera Maya · Greg Norman, 2006 · resort, PGA Tour host
The best known course in Mexico and a corporate natural, a Greg Norman design that hosted a PGA Tour event from 2007 to 2022, routed through jungle, mangrove canals and cenotes to beachfront greens. It sits within the Mayakoba complex of luxury hotels and meeting facilities on the Riviera Maya, so the golf, the rooms, the dining and the event space are all in one secure resort. Tournament pedigree and turnkey hospitality in equal measure.
02
Cancun · Jack Nicklaus · all inclusive, twenty seven holes
The pick for a large group built around a conference, twenty seven Jack Nicklaus holes inside one of Cancun's biggest all inclusive resorts, with thousands of rooms, vast convention and banquet space and a golf operation used to corporate volume. The three nine hole loops flex to field sizes, and everything from the welcome dinner to the transfers happens on property. When the event is as much about meetings as golf, this is the easiest venue in the country to run.
03
Los Cabos · Davis Love III · resort, top ranked
The highest rated course in Mexico, a Davis Love III links style design at the Diamante resort on the Pacific dunes north of Cabo San Lucas, a regular fixture at the top of the country's rankings and a recent PGA Tour host. Big, windswept and spectacular, with a back nine along the ocean. The resort adds villas, a clubhouse and a Tiger Woods short course for an after round contest, making it a high end incentive that the golfers in the group will never forget.
04
Los Cabos · Jack Nicklaus · resort, clifftop
The most dramatic round in Cabo, a Jack Nicklaus design that climbs from desert arroyos to cliff edges with two hundred foot drops to the Pacific, home to some of the most photographed holes in Mexico. The comfort stations and the sheer scenery make it an event in itself, and the Pueblo Bonito resort behind it supplies the rooms and hospitality. A showpiece venue for a client day where the wow factor is the brief.
05
Puerto Vallarta · Nicklaus and Weiskopf · World Cup 2002
A thirty six hole complex in the hills above Puerto Vallarta, with a Jack Nicklaus course and a Tom Weiskopf course side by side, which hosted the 2002 World Cup of Golf. The two course set up is ideal for a larger corporate group of varied ability, and Vallarta's airport, hotels and beachfront town are minutes away. A less crowded, good value alternative to Cabo with genuine tournament credentials and easy logistics.
06
Los Cabos · Jack Nicklaus · resort, oceanfront
A long standing Cabo favorite, the Jack Nicklaus Ocean course strung along the Sea of Cortez, famous for a closing stretch of oceanfront holes that ranks among the best finishes in the country. Recently refreshed within a luxury resort, it pairs serious golf with the rooms and hospitality a corporate group needs. A classic Los Cabos choice when the brief is championship golf with the ocean always in view.
07
Punta Mita · Jack Nicklaus · Four Seasons resort
The headline round on the Punta Mita peninsula near Puerto Vallarta, a Jack Nicklaus course at a Four Seasons resort, best known for the optional Tail of the Whale, a natural island green reached by an amphibious cart at low tide, the most talked about hole in Mexico. Polished, exclusive and beautifully run, it is the venue for a small, high value client day where the resort name and that island green do the talking.
