Everyone knows that buying Playa del Carmen beachfront for sale is perhaps the best way to enjoy a warm-weather lifestyle on some of the world's most beautiful beaches, where you can enjoy everything from seeing Mayan pyramids, to sailing, to going to the movies, but fewer people know that Playa del Carmen has actually emerged as a world-class golf paradise. Not only that, but real estate surrounding these courses offers an ideal combination of luxury living, beautiful views, and close access to both golf and beaches.

It's true. Mexico golf course real estate is becoming a motivation in itself to move to Mexico, for some buyers rivalling the wide, soft, white-sanded beaches of places like Playa del Carmen as their main motivation for choosing this area as their home.

But aren't golf courses in Mexico's tourist destinations just their to hold golfers over until they get back home? Not so. Playa del Carmen, as Latin America's golf course capital offers 9 professional courses to choose from, with one more across the strait on the island of Cozumel.

These courses are the real thing. They have been created by designers like Nick Price, Tom Lehman, Jack Nicklaus and Robert Von Hagge. One of them is home to the first PGA event to be held in Latin America – the Mayakoba Golf Classic. World-class champions are going out of their way to participate in the area's tournaments, and designers are finding it well worth their while to set up both golf courses and condo complexes near by.

This combination, in fact, has done a lot to define what Playa del Carmen golf course real estate is all about. Most recently, Nick Price designed and built his course at the north end of town with an accompanying real estate development called the "Nick Price Residence." Nearby, buyers in the Mareazul development enjoy life directly on the beachfront, while still being within very short walking distance to the same course.

Playacar, the city's original exclusive, gated community at the south of downtown, also offers beautiful condos and homes with unbelievable views of the fairways. Puerto Aventuras, a marina community 20 minutes south of town, has lots for sale along the newest 9 holes of its golf course, which are currently under construction. Many other excellent properties exist built along the area's courses.

All have several points in common, but the most important is this; you can enjoy golf at its best, beaches at their best, and golf course real estate, at its best.
