Golf

Cozumel Country Club. The 18-hole, par 72 championship golf course at the Cozumel Country Club is the work of the Nicklaus Design Group. The lush fairways amid mangroves and a lagoon have been declared an Audubon nature reserve, and it's a favorite spot for bird-watching. Green fees (reduced after 1:30 pm) include a shared golf cart, and rental clubs are available. Some hotels, including Playa Azul, offer golf packages here. Tee times are generally required and can be made online. Duffers should bring lots of balls as the fringe areas are notorious for eating them; the crocodiles in the water hazards are real—so use caution when looking for balls.
