Nick Price’s par 71, a taxi ride from Fifth Avenue.
Gran Coyote is the closest full-length course to the centre of Playa del Carmen. It sits inside the Corasol development, about five minutes from Fifth Avenue and eight minutes from the Cozumel ferry. Nick Price designed it as an 18-hole par 71 of 7,043 yards on paspalum grass. You do not have to stay at a particular resort to play it. Book directly and read the cancellation policy before you pay, because it is much stricter than most courses on the coast.
Gran Coyote Golf green fees and tee times.
Reserve through the Tee Time page on the club’s website, or contact the pro shop at proshop2@grancoyote.golf or +52 984 109 6025; the club’s main line is +52 998 158 3679. The club does not publish its green fees. Read the cancellation terms before you book. Cancelling more than 30 days before play gets a full refund, cancelling 25 to 29 days out gets 50 per cent back, and cancelling 24 days or less before play gets nothing. Rental clubs are subject to availability, so reserve a set when you book. Carts are required and walking is not permitted.
The round, in perspective.
Price’s course measures 7,043 yards from the back, which is long for a par 71, and the grass is paspalum from tee to green. Golfbreaks describes fairly wide fairways through coastal jungle, with the sea breeze affecting tee shots and approaches. It singles out the par-3 5th, 148 yards from the championship tees over a large water hazard to a sloping green ringed by bunkers. The club itself publishes a course map and a downloadable scorecard rather than a hole-by-hole guide, so check the card before choosing tees. Golfbreaks also mentions the Coyote Grill, beside the clubhouse under a large tree, which serves steak tacos and pulled pork sandwiches, and a snack restaurant overlooking the 18th green that opens for breakfast.

Make the trip work.
The cancellation rule is the main planning point. If your dates might move, wait until within a month of travel to book, or accept that a late change costs the full fee. Rain checks only apply once play has started: fewer than four holes completed earns an 18-hole credit, four to twelve holes earns a nine-hole credit, and after thirteen there is none. Men need a collared, sleeved polo and women a collared polo, dress, skirt or capris; soft spikes only. The practice facility is next to the clubhouse, so arrive early enough to hit balls before you tee off. The club also runs a membership and an events calendar; check the events page for tournament dates before you choose a day, and ask whether a shotgun start will affect the morning tee sheet.
The club puts Cancún International (CUN) about 38 minutes away; its tee-time page says about 45 minutes, so allow the longer figure. The course is on the federal highway at km 294.7, just north of central Playa del Carmen. From hotels in Playa a taxi takes about five minutes.
Most visitors stay in Playa del Carmen itself or in the all-inclusive resorts to the north. Golfbreaks pairs the course with Paradisus Playa del Carmen and the adults-only Paradisus La Perla, both in Playa, and with the Iberostar Paraíso hotels further up the coast. A Fifth Avenue hotel or apartment keeps you within walking distance of restaurants and five minutes from the first tee. Because no hotel is attached to the course, there is no guest discount to chase, so choose your base on beach and budget and book the round separately.
Make a trip of it.
El Camaleón at Mayakoba, Greg Norman’s former PGA Tour course, is a few minutes north and is the natural second round. Iberostar Playa Paraíso’s P.B. Dye course is further up the highway towards Cancún. Riviera Maya Golf Club near Akumal is the southern option. Off the course, the Cozumel ferry leaves from Playa del Carmen for a day of reef snorkelling.
Find your season.
November to April is the dry, cooler season and the time to come. May is hot but still mostly dry. The rainy season runs from June to October and overlaps the Atlantic hurricane season, when rounds are cheaper but storms can close the course.

Can I cancel a Gran Coyote tee time?
Only with notice. The club refunds in full if you cancel more than 30 days ahead and refunds half at 25 to 29 days. Cancellations made 24 days or less before play are not refunded, whatever the group size.
How far is Gran Coyote from Cancún airport?
The club gives two figures: about 38 minutes on its location page and about 45 minutes on its booking page. The course is on the federal highway just north of Playa del Carmen, about five minutes from Fifth Avenue.
