Tulum Country Club: A Residential Destination Model Integrating Golf and Lifestyle
A particular highlight of this year’s awards is the recognition of Tulum Country Club, which has been named Latin America’s Best Golf Real Estate Venue 2026 for the second consecutive year. This regional award recognizes the destination model developed and managed by Piñero’s Real Estate & Golf division in the Riviera Maya, where real estate and golf are complemented by a broad range of services and experiences designed to enrich community life.
At Tulum Country Club, this concept comes to life in an environment that combines security, nature, wellness and sports, with its renowned PGA Riviera Maya golf course and PGA Academy serving as cornerstones of its golf offering. The destination also features first-class amenities, including the German International School, the first school in the Riviera Maya to offer the International Baccalaureate; the Real Madrid Foundation’s Educational Football Program; beach club, sports and wellness facilities; and commercial and business spaces that contribute to a truly distinctive lifestyle.
PGA Riviera Maya and PGA Ocean’s 4 Continue to Earn Recognition for Golf Excellence
Piñero’s Real Estate & Golf division has also strengthened the international recognition of its two golf courses, both of which once again rank among the best in their respective countries.
PGA Riviera Maya, located within Tulum Country Club, has been named Mexico’s Best Golf Course 2026 for the third consecutive year. Designed by renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones II, the course stands out for the balance between the natural beauty of the Mayan jungle and its technical challenge. It is also the only golf course in Mexico affiliated with the PGA of America and has hosted major international tournaments such as the Korn Ferry Tour and the Women’s Amateur Latin America (WALA).
Meanwhile, PGA Ocean’s 4, located within the residential community of Playa Nueva Romana in the Dominican Republic, has been named Dominican Republic’s Best Golf Course 2026 for the second consecutive year. Featuring some of the most spectacular oceanfront holes in the Caribbean, the course stands out for both its design and international positioning. It is the only course in the country affiliated with the PGA of America and recently hosted the season-ending championship of PGA TOUR Americas. It also features the country’s only illuminated executive golf course, allowing golfers to play after dark.
“These World Golf Awards reflect a vision we have been building for more than 20 years and, above all, recognize the extraordinary work of our teams. We see golf as a key element in creating destinations and communities with a distinctive lifestyle, such as Tulum Country Club. Our courses reflect our commitment to excellence across every dimension, from design, quality and experience to partnerships with the most prestigious institutions in golf and our ability to host major international tournaments,” said Jaime Sitjar, CEO of Piñero’s Real Estate & Golf division.
These awards further reinforce Piñero’s Real Estate & Golf division’s commitment to advancing golf across the Caribbean and to positioning the sport as a key differentiator within a lifestyle that combines sports, wellness and experiences to create internationally recognized destinations.
