El Camaleón, a Greg Norman design etched into the Riviera Maya coastline, dares golfers to embrace risk amid a unique trifecta of ecosystems: dense tropical jungle, unforgiving mangrove thickets, and windswept oceanfront. The layout, a post-2000 creation, presents a modern test of shot-making, where strategic angles are more valuable than brute force and where each nine returns to a central clubhouse area with its famed tequila bar. The course gained early prominence as the long-time host of the World Wide Technology Championship on the PGA Tour. The event served as a proving ground for both rising stars and established names seeking to navigate the course's distinct challenges, where players frequently have to manufacture shots to contend with the relentless winds. Beyond the tournament pedigree, El Camaleón provides a memorable experience rooted in the surrounding landscape. Unique cenotes punctuate the course, serving as both hazards and natural wonders and the signature hole, the par-3 15th, plays directly over the Caribbean Sea. This juxtaposition of demanding golf and breathtaking scenery offers a distinctly Mexican golfing experience and the adjacent resort has become known as a place to unwind.
