Golfers will marvel at the terrain of the 18-hole El Camaleon golf course designed by the Australian professional golfer, Greg Norman and the challenge its terrain presents (the par 3s earning the greatest praise). El Camaleon has three, very different, eco-systems and players are led through jungle and mangroves, then faced with open-cave obstacles and the water's edge and sandy beach, which are only a swing away. Misjudge the proximity of your surroundings and you'll lose your golf balls to the depths of a canal or the Caribbean Sea!
