As happened in the first two events of the Andaluc\u00eda Golf Challenge Destino ‘Riviera Maya Golf Club Bah\u00eda Pr\u00edncipe’ in Mexico, the third stage of this amateur circuit, played at the Los Lagos de Mijas Golf course, was atotal success<\/span>and many golfers were unable to participate as the available places were sold out a few days before. However, those who were lucky enough to play enjoyed splendid weather and an extraordinary course, which received unanimous praise both for its design and for its maintenance and presentation. Not in vain, like its “brother” at Mijas Golf (Los Olivos), Los Lagos is the work of one of the greatest golf course designers of all time, Robert Trent Jones Senior. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In addition to the prizes for each tournament (top brand clothing from the fairway+blue store, D.O. Somontano wines, sports equipment, etc.), the top five finishers in each category have won a place in the final of the Circuit.), the first five classified in each category have obtained a place to play the final of the Circuit and thus opt for one of the five trips to Riviera Maya for a week that includes flight, hotel (in Riviera Maya Bah\u00eda Pr\u00edncipe Resort) and golf in three extraordinary courses of the Mexican Caribbean: Riviera Maya Golf Club, El Camale\u00f3n Mayakoba (scene of one of the tournaments of the PGA Tour of the United States) and Playa Para\u00edso.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Andaluc\u00eda Golf Challenge Circuit, which this year celebrates its ninth edition and is organized by the magazine Andaluc\u00eda Golf, has this year as main sponsors the real estate developer Exxaxon and Reale Seguros-Galpe.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first three classified in Los Lagos in first category were, in this order, the following: Antonio Javier Garc\u00eda Fr\u00edas (38 points), Francisco Javier Gil P\u00e9rez (38) and Pablo Guerrero Jaureguiza (37).<\/span><\/p>\n

In the second category, the best was \u00c1lvaro P\u00e9rez Cruz (46 points), followed by Antonio Fern\u00e1ndez Mart\u00edn (44) and Borja Guti\u00e9rrez Sede\u00f1o (42). <\/span><\/p>\n

The scratch winner was Francisco Javier Carrere, with 36 points. The special prize for closest ball to the hole went to Estefano Pastore, while those for the longest drive for men and women went respectively to Juusi Harju and Daniele Lorcy. <\/span><\/p>\n

The awards ceremony was attended by the director of Mijas Golf, Lorenzo P\u00e9rez, the head of Exxacon Development, Gustavo Teruel, the director of Fairway + Blue, Gabriela Jones, and on behalf of the magazine Andaluc\u00eda Golf, Antonio S\u00e1nchez and Luis Navarro.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>The sporting party concluded with a cocktail in the clubhouse of Mijas Golf, one of the most visited and best rated golf resorts on the Costa del Sol, both for the excellence of its courses and for its good value for money.<\/span><\/p>\n

RIVIERA MAYA DESTINATION GOLF CLUB BAHIA PRINCPIPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Riviera Maya resort, like the one in the Dominican Republic, has an 18-hole championship golf course and another par 3. The design is by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and was chosen as the best course in Mexico and Central America in 2018 in Golfdigest magazine’s Editor’s Choice list. It also has a hotel offer of the highest level counting with four Bahia Principe hotels and a Residencial equipped with comprehensive services and security that make many who have visited the resort fall in love and want to buy their happiness in this magnificent paradise. <\/p>\n

.<\/span>\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE IDEAL DESTINATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those who are planning to spend their next vacation enjoying golf, beautiful beaches and the countless charms of the Mexican Caribbean, the Riviera Maya is undoubtedly the ideal destination.<\/p>\n

In this field we will find jungle, mangrove and cenotes. The first time you see a cenote -and in this field there are some perfectly integrated into the tour- does not leave you indifferent. It is something to be experienced. So much beauty will pierce you. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The location of the resort is ideal, situated in Akumal, between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. In Playa del Carmen we will find world-class restaurants and fantastic leisure and shopping options. In Tulum we can visit the famous walled city of the Mayan culture. Many other excursions and activities, such as scuba diving or island hopping, are within easy reach of visitors. <\/p>\n

There will be, however, those who do not want to leave the resort, as they can travel to the various themed restaurants, the beaches, the golf course and the leisure areas on the little trains that run constantly around the resort.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

NATURAL GOLF GUIDANCE METHOD<\/strong><\/p>\n

The golf facilities are completed with an academy run by Toni Planells and where teaching is given with his Natural Golf Guidance method. It can be a great opportunity to approach golf, as this method gets those who have never picked up a club before to approach golf in a non-traumatic way and can have fun from the first moment. It is also perfect for correcting bad habits and getting players who are stuck in their progress and want to improve back on track. <\/p>\n

The services are equally excellent: golf clubs and golf carts with GPS are available for rent and there is even a golf shoe rental service.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It has become a tradition that, in October, the BAHIA PRINCIPE Golf Open is held, where the best of the golf world is brought together around one of the most recognized brands in hospitality and tourism: BAHIA PRINCIPE Hotels & Resorts. The tournament is one of the most important in the Riviera Maya. <\/p>\n

Regarding the hotels available in the resort, there is something to satisfy all preferences.<\/p>\n

There are two hotels reserved for adults only, where luxury and exclusivity prevail: the LUXURY Bahia Principe AKUMAL, right on the beach, and the LUXURY Bahia Principe SIAN KA’AN, located in front of the golf course clubhouse, ideal for golf players.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The other two hotels are also a perfect choice to enjoy the beaches and the authentic Mexican flavor: the GRAND BAHIA PRINCIPE TULUM, with pools right on the beach and with the peculiarity of releasing turtles, and the GRAND BAHIA PRINCIPE COBA, the ideal place for families within the Riviera Maya complex, with the best facilities and spaces for children in the complex such as the waterpark, in addition to being able to choose family rooms for up to eight people and special services for children.<\/p>\n

Climate, beaches, golf, gastronomy, culture and the friendliness of the best hosts: the perfect combination for a blissful getaway.<\/p>\n
