The Riviera Cancun Golf Club is the most recent addition to Cancun.

Golfers will also enjoy the ocean views on holes 14 and 15.

The spectacular Mexican-Contemporary Club house greets guests before they begin their journey over bridges, through the dunes, mangroves and lakes which are only some of the elements which make this course visually stunning. The resort is 100% Mexican owned and is located in the Hotel Zone and only 5 minutes from the airport.

Hidden Gem in Cancun!

During a recent vacation to Mexico we booked 3 rounds of golf around Cancun to experience different courses. Rivera Cancun was absolutely wonderful. The staff was warm and welcoming, the course was in great shape, the send players out in 2's, the pace of play was relaxed, the course was challenging, the cart came by every 4 holes, and the cost is all-inclusive!

After playing other courses I would have been happy to play the 3 rounds at Riviera Cancun. I will definitely go back next time I'm in Cancun!

Beautiful scenery but…

Beautiful scenery but driving range was below standard. They gave us about 20 of the worst golf balls I have ever seen. The rental clubs were horrible for $50 additional charge per person. Transportation was “included” but they said they were unable to pick us up. Additionally, we were told they would take us back to our resort after the round. However, they called a taxi and we had to pay additional transportation again. Very disappointing!

What a time!

Had a great experience golfing here with some family. Challenging fairways and greens. There is lots of water and wildlife. Tee time came with transportation, food and drink. Arrange with your hotel a day before you play. Definitely stick up on golf balls in the states. Little pricey at the pro shop.

Nice Layout

Pretty Course. not far from hotel zone . Lots of wildlife and scenery , Bunkers protecting most holes and alot of water carrie’s. Played the first 9 in an hour with nobody there but caught up to a twosome that slowed pace. A bit steep price wise but they did include free beverages . Pleased overall

Fake reservation…

I reserved a tee time on golf now and paid for it. The course had a tournament and did not reimburse my money. Do not play there!

Overall good experience, just need better communication regarding all inclusive

I had a 12:45 tee time but was able to get on a bit earlier with another group. Course is great, cart guy very friendly. The only issue was none us were told the restaurant and bar close at 4 pm. We got in at 430 pm thinking we would eat and grab a few drinks. Unfortunately, no. Instead, we were given a turkey sandwich and sent on our way. So if you have a late tee time, get there earlier to eat or make sure you stop on the back 9 and head to the club house for a meal

Course was great but they need to explain better when bar and kitchen closes

I had a 1245 pm tee and was never told the bar and restaurant closed at 4 pm!!! I was expecting to finish play and come in and have dinner. Instead, I was told bar and kitchen was closed, here's a turkey sandwich! Other than that, course and staff are great! Just please, better communication, I could have grabbed something to eat at the back 9!
