Golf Puerto Cancun
Well kept course with a number of water and sand traps. Holes 13 and 14 are adjacent to the ocean and usually have quite a bit of wind to mess with your shots. The best time to golf is early morning when temperatures are still cool, but that's also the most popular time, so you might have to deal with crowds.
Daily 07:00 - 23:00US$160 + club rental
Do
Iberostar Cancun Golf Club
Resort course that's a bit older, but well maintained, though the rental clubs and carts show their age. The clubhouse serves a nice breakfast if you're getting an early start. There are a couple of crocodiles living along the course, but they have eaten very few golfers lately, so leave them alone and they'll return the favor.

Señor Frogs
Señor Frog's is a restaurant by day and a dance club by night, and is one of the most popular spots for vacationers to visit. The restaurant opens up for lunch and serves international types of food such as pasta, chicken and pizza as well as Mexican cuisine all day until midnight. A cover charge of five dollars will get you into the party after 20:00 and includes a souvenir yard glass which you can then pay to get filled with your drink of choice. One of Señor Frog's famous attractions is the water slide that leads from the club out into the lagoon, just for a little bit of fun. As the evening progresses, Señor Frog's becomes less family friendly and more of a party establishment, waitresses will circulate, offering shots of tequila for a price. Waiters are also very "hands on", if you are not traveling in a family group, expect them to try to touch, hug, or kiss the female members of the party.
