Playa Azul Invitational / Blue Beach Invitational Golf Tournament |
|
Being on the island of Cozumel, you immediately think of wonderful beaches, scuba diving, snorkeling and many other both above and underwater related recreational activities. But in 2001, a new aboveground activity was created and the Cozumel Country Club (CCC) became a new "fun-in-the-sun" addition to the island. The course was built just a ten (10) minute ride from the airport or a fifteen (15) minute trip from the International cruise ship pier and makes for an easily accessible for a day of golfing for all you golf enthusiasts (okay, maybe addicts is more appropriate)!
The design is unique in that it was built with the ecology of Cozumel at the forefront and the efforts of the designers have created a unique course that includes both the coral and limestone base with the low-lying salt water marshes in a harmonious balance with the golf course, all without destroying the natural habitat. In fact, you will find yourself golfing amongst many of the native wildlife species of Cozumel that include many birds species, blue crabs, raccoons, iguanas and even crocodiles. In 2006, because of CCC's commitment to the environment, the course became the first in Mexico to earn the designation of Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary from Audubon International. So in addition to packing your clubs, be sure to pack your camera for some unique photo opportunities unlike anywhere else as you golf this world class course.
The Playa Azul Invitation / Blue Beach Invitational (formerly the Plaza Azul Open) Golf Tournament is held in mid to late April annually. It is always held for guest and players over two (2) days and is limited to a field of eighty (80) players that use a modified Stableford system and currently has five (5) categories: Men's :A", "B" & "C" Divisions; and Ladies "A" & "B" Divisions!
There are also many special packages available that include your admissions and hotel with the many partner resorts here on the island. So if you want a reason (like you really need an excuse) to come visit us in Cozumel, enjoy some sun, take in a little golfing and enter the annual Playa Azul Invitational Golf Tournament, do not delay, get your reservations in pronto! We would love to see you here in Cozumel!
