Some of the greatest things man has seen are hardly ever the work of
one man alone. They are made with the effort, passion, and genius of a group of people. They work tirelessly to achieve excellence in every aspect. In golf course design, “every aspect” encompasses scenery, difficulty and playability. In today’s standards, it now involves the ecological soundness of the course – being able to achieve excellence in golf without jeopardizing the existing ecology in its area. One perfect example is the Grand Coral Golf Riviera Maya in Mexico. This golf vacation destination is out to prove that more heads are indeed better than one.
Although it is famed as a Nick Price creation, the champion player 
was just the name behind an entire team. Whilst he took care of the golf qualities, the Grupo Grand Coral Developer took care of the environmental issues. The Grand Coral Golf Riviera Maya, as a result, is a golf vacation haven that not only is beautiful but is beautiful enough that adjusts to and highlights the many many splendid natural beauty of the area. Being sandwiched between the Caribbean Sea and the beautiful town of Playa del Carmen makes beauty a bountiful supply hereabouts. And the design team played with it, making sure that nature was kept as untouched as possible.
The Grand Coral Golf Riviera Maya is all seven thousand plus plus yards of golf that is a hit not only among golfers but among the flora and fauna that thrive abundantly in this well-preserved environment. Golf trips here prove that more heads are not only better than one; it also proves that the more the merrier, humans and wildlife included. The course is located just thirty minutes from the Cancun International Airport.
There are a number of ways to measure the greatness of a 
beautiful. From the skies to the sea to the mountains, beauty comes in all forms here. It does not come as surprising why many golf course developers and designers come over to make a golfer’s haven of this blessed paradise. Many have succeeded; in fact, some of the world’s most beautiful courses are found here. But it takes the genius of someone like Jack Nicklaus to bring out the best golfing experience in a 
Cana Resort. 
Jack Nicklaus was never too selfish to take everything all to himself. He made sure nature has its handiwork unconcealed on his work at the 
in Punta Cana. The course winds around bare sand and rock, an unmatched view of the beach, stunning set of expansive lakes, and rolling fairways. And Nicklaus being Nicklaus, his design never did stop on the visually appetizing. After all, what’s a

dare take a shot from those tees. Thankfully, there are other shorter, friendlier tees on the course. But friendlier never meant easier. Here, golfers would have to brave the beautiful, albeit nerve-wracking holes. There are some placed along the cliff, overlooking the beach. Others are on mounds, giving an unaltered, undisturbed river views. And they are not unguarded. Signature Dye bunkering haunt and daunt golfers’ every shot. That alone gives this 
The Caribbean is perhaps the closest thing the Earth has to Paradise. The question of whether it is beautiful or not will prove to be totally useless, if not stupid. But to clearly define and single out which part of the Caribbean is most beautiful is an impossible task. Even more so, finding such a place would be like looking for water in hell. But if there is such a place, the Casa de Campo resort in the Dominican Republic is a good place to start. And its 
measures a little over 6,700 yards from the longest tees, par 71. At some points, golfers may feel like it is tad longer than that. And it is the mental game that extends it. Conquering the course meant thoroughly thinking about club selection, shot technique, and pretty much everything. And just because this is a risk-reward course does not mean every risk option must be taken; the right risks bring in the right rewards. And only the discriminating golfer would take that extra time to figure that out at every hole. But if on that note this course sounds like a most unwanted accomplice to a relaxing 
Tests by time, war and even the worst of nature’s outrages have only toughened up the 
whooping 7,300 yards from the longest tees and plays for a par of 72. It has five sets of tees, thus making it more playable for more golfers, skill level regardless. The widely open layout is dotted with a variety of small trees and long grasses,with the latter giving it a links feel. The putting areas are open, but heavily guarded by bunkers on one side, and mounds on the other. The fairway landing areas are flat but are surrounded by mounds as well. Errant shots are likely to be punished heavily. But then again, what is a
