LPGA Tour season
May 19-25, 2025 | Mayakoba, Riviera Maya
This May, the Riviera Maya makes history as the LPGA returns to Mexico for the first time since 2017. From May 22 to 25, El Camaleón Golf Course will welcome the world’s top female golfers for the LPGA Riviera Maya Open. As the only course globally to host PGA TOUR, LIV Golf, LPGA, AJGA, and LACC events, El Camaleón continues to shape the future of golf in Mexico—this time with a groundbreaking moment for the sport and the region.
El Camaleón gets its name from its diverse layout and varied landscape, stretching through tropical jungle, dense mangroves, and vast stretches of oceanfront sand with holes surrounded by massive limestone channels. The indigenous details of the environmentally inspired design are evident from the fairway with its imposing cenote, an ancient underground cavern.
Although each hole shines with its own magic, it is the Par 3 that has garnered the most praise. Hole 15 defines the El Camaleón golf experience. Just 160 yards, or 146 meters from the back marker, the hole plays directly out onto the shimmering shoreline. Regardless of how the game unfolds, the ocean view accompanies the player long after finishing the round on the green. Hole 4 is also played on the edge of the Caribbean Sea, and the salty sea breeze reaches there. It is an impressive and winding course that takes full advantage of its proximity to the jungle and the sea, providing players with a unique golf experience.
Already America’s top golf school, the Jim McClean Golf School at Mayakoba is now the top teaching facility in Mexico. Combining personally selected trainers with state-of-the-art JC Video Swing Analysis technology, the school’s programs are guaranteed to improve guests’ swings. The practice facility is unmatched—the school comes with a 350-yard double-sided tee, a short game facility and a 40-yard wide putting green. The Golf School also has a Pure Performance Golf Lab, a club fitting center where you can find the perfect clubs for your swing and measurements.
