I don’t know who wrote this information, but I just spoke to the Iberostar company and there is no nine-hole “family” golf course. There is a golf course that is open at the complex, but it’s an 18 hole regulation course.
Thanks for posting this, Laura! Turns out that there are plans for such a family course but nothing’s there yet. The page you’re reading is actually a blog dated Aug. 2004, so it describes what was announced, at that time, as planned for the resort. Since then there’ve been several pages added at Travel With Kids about this resort complex: for ex.,

And this page about the Maya:

You probably found the page through a search engine? I’ll make a note on it, to direct people to later content.
Bye for now…
