A Round of Golf at Iberostar Cancun: What You Need to Know

If you’re dreaming of teeing off amid lush Quintana Roo landscapes, the Iberostar Cancun Golf Course offers a solid option. Priced at $256 per person for a four-hour round, this experience is designed for golf enthusiasts who want a mix of challenge, comfort, and authentic scenery. Designed by the legendary Japanese golfer Isao Aoki, the course spans over 150 acres and incorporates the region’s natural beauty, with water hazards that add a strategic touch to every hole.
What immediately catches our eye is the convenience—your package includes golf clubs, either TaylorMade SIM2 or Stealth, which means you don’t need to worry about packing your own. Plus, transportation from your hotel is covered when you book with a minimum of two players, making logistics one less thing to think about when planning your day. And if you’re hungry or thirsty, the food and beverages included are a welcome perk that keeps the game flowing smoothly.
Two things we particularly appreciate are the stunning panoramic views you get while playing—there’s no denying that the natural lagoon inlets and lush fairways make every shot a visual delight—and the seamless booking process. As one reviewer, Keith from the United States, put it: “Great easy process to an enjoyable day!!” That simplicity and the scenic setting make this tour appealing for both seasoned golfers and those looking for a relaxed, beautiful round.
A possible consideration is that gratuity isn’t included in the price, so you might want to budget a little extra for tips, especially if you appreciate attentive service. Also, since the experience is private, it’s ideal for groups or couples who prefer a more personalized touch rather than a crowded course.
This tour suits travelers who value convenience, scenic beauty, and quality gear. It’s perfect for those with a day free to indulge in a well-designed course without fussing over logistics. If you’re after a straightforward, enjoyable golf outing with excellent views and a touch of luxury, this experience should definitely be on your list.
