El Camaleon hosted the first PGA Tour in Latin America and LIV Golf is hosting its event on the Greg Norman designed course in 2024 for a second consecutive time.
The course will undergo a major renovation to prepare for the event in February 2024. Clubhouse, restaurants, and some of the holes underwent major renovations. El Camaleon was opened in 2006. These renovations are among the first to be made for the benefit of spectators, golfers and resort guests.
The clubhouse has renovated its entry, locker room, pro-shop, and gathering area. To go along with the new design, Koba’s Club House has a new menu.
Many of the holes were strategically altered by architects. The course is famous for its scenic setting on the Riviera Maya. The tee box heights have been changed, and fairways, bunkers and greens have also been elevated. A new island green is being added to the fourth hole and a new sloped green has been created for No. The size and slope of the green at No. 8 will be changed.

The improvements are made while preserving the unique character of El Camaleon. The new design aims to strike the right balance between maintaining the natural beauty of El Camaleon and adding new elements that will push amateurs and professional competition in 2024.
