A growing number of Americans and Canadians have started becoming aware of the appeal of Mexico golf course real estate; high-quality condos and homes overlooking professionally designed courses. What a handful of buyers are beginning to realize is that this is much more than just a nice property with a nice view, and even more than just a another option for a pastime; it's a way of life.

This is especially true of Playa del Carmen golf course real estate. The following are some of the features which help define golf real estate as a way of life in the Playa del Carmen area.

13 Courses – Playa del Carmen and the surrounding area offers 13 courses to choose from, as well as 4 more in the nearby Cancun Hotel Zone, with more on the way. Some are directly within the Playa del Carmen area, and others are out along the Riviera Maya – the stretch of beachfront running north and south of town.

Professional Designs – It's not just the number of courses that count; when Playa del Carmen was named Latin America's Golf Capital, it was also because of the quality of the courses. Designs can be found from world-famous names such as Greg Norman, Nick Price and Jack Nicklaus. One course just at the north end of town is actually home to Latin America's first PGA event, the Mayakoba Golf Classic, held every February.

Gated Communities - All are associated with upscale real estate development; Riviera Maya golf course real estate, combined with that of Playa del Carmen offers a range of options in properties as well as games. The area's excellent courses are located within nice gated communities with 24 hour security, bike trails, many green areas, and, in general, a very pleasant, well organized outdoor living atmosphere ideal for those who enjoy the lifestyle associated with golf.

Upscale Development Areas – It's not only the communities themselves that are home to upscale development; the large concentration of high-quality courses and their associated residential developments have set the tone for entire new areas of Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya. Golf has not only set the tone for the lifestyle, but also for the visual atmosphere.

Year-Round Warm Weather – If golf is to be more than just a game for the odd vacation now and then, it sure helps a good deal that golfers can enjoy the game year round. Warm weather at all times of year make it possible for golf really to be a lifestyle, not just a vacation activity.
