The Executive Course at Riviera Maya Golf Club is a shorter layout designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., situated in Akumal along Mexico's Caribbean coast in Quintana Roo. Jones, known for his environmental sensitivity and strategic design work across multiple continents, created this course as a complement to the club's championship layout, offering a more compact playing experience within the same tropical setting. The course takes advantage of the region's distinctive limestone-based terrain and native jungle vegetation. The routing navigates through dense Yucatan Peninsula flora, with holes carved from the surrounding forest and framed by mangroves and cenote formations characteristic of this karst landscape. As an executive course, the layout emphasizes shorter holes and quicker play while maintaining design interest through green complexes and strategic bunkering typical of Jones's work. The proximity to the Caribbean provides warm, humid conditions year-round, and the course serves both resort guests and local players seeking a less time-intensive round. Riviera Maya Golf Club operates within the broader tourism infrastructure of the Riviera Maya corridor, positioned between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. The executive course functions as an accessible option for golfers who want to experience Jones's design approach in a condensed format, or for those looking to fit golf into a vacation schedule that includes the area's beaches, archaeological sites, and marine activities. The course reflects the region's evolution as a golf destination combining international design with distinctive Mexican coastal geography.
