MAYAKOBA, Mexico — Greg Norman, the architect, can at times be as controversial as Greg Norman, the player. His designs have been cussed and discussed with his name disassociated with various layouts in Arizona, Texas and Florida, his reputation going from birdie to triple bogey.
But the one thing most golfers and others in the golf business agree on is that the El Camaleón design in the massive Mayakoba development, opened by Norman in 2006, is one of his best and most interesting anywhere, requiring very little upkeep or changes since it first burst on the public golf scene.
