Puerto Aventuras occupies a stretch of Caribbean coastline in Quintana Roo, situated between Playa del Carmen and Tulum along Mexico's Riviera Maya. The course was designed by Thomas Leman as part of a larger resort and marina development that emerged during the region's tourism expansion in the late twentieth century. The layout integrates golf into a coastal environment characterized by limestone bedrock, native tropical vegetation, and the flat to gently rolling terrain typical of the Yucatan Peninsula. The routing works through a landscape of mangroves, lagoons, and dense jungle vegetation, with several holes playing near or alongside the property's marina and residential areas. The course reflects design considerations common to tropical resort golf in this region: managing drainage in a low-lying coastal setting, preserving natural vegetation corridors, and creating playable conditions for a wide range of visitor abilities. Water features, both natural and constructed, appear throughout the layout and influence strategy on multiple holes. Puerto Aventuras functions primarily as a resort amenity within a mixed-use development that includes beachfront access, marina facilities, and residential components. The course serves both resort guests and local residents in a region where golf options have expanded considerably since the 1990s. The setting provides views of Caribbean waters and the surrounding tropical landscape, with playing conditions influenced by the warm, humid climate and seasonal weather patterns characteristic of Mexico's Caribbean coast.
