All inclusive.

Great course, price includes breakfast or lunch and all on and off course beverages. Booking with GolfNow/GolfPass is the only way to go.

I brought a friend!

I met Mike at the pool bar. He wanted to golf so I booked the twosome at Hard Rock. Needless to say Mike was blown away with the course, but also the staff and the amenities. He wants to come back, I just don’t know if I have the budget or time. It was great!!

Nice course but not that shiny anymore

I played Hard Rock Hotel Golf Course. First it seemed quite nice but the whole course with all its Off Course Amenities is not in its best years anymore. Especially for the greenfee price of 180 USD I expected a lot more since I played other courses in the area for around the same price that are absolutely beautiful. The free food and drinks included in the greenfee didn't make the difference for me.

Regarding the course itself, it is quite challenging and the hole designs are nice.

Great Value

Great course especially if you get the golf now rate. We got it for around $100 US per player but included shuttle transportation to and from our hotel which saved us $40

The staff is very friendly and the food was excellent. Did I mention our rate was all inclusive, drinks food and transportation. You can’t beat it. Totally enjoyed the course but greens were a little slower than I am used too

Fun Layout

The course is entertaining and fun however there are better courses near Playa if you are willing to travel. During the high season don’t expect the same level of polish as US resorts of similar pricing.
