Hard Rock Golf Club Riviera Maya

First course we played in Mexico

Had an awesome experience

This round took 5.5 hours! Despite every group being in power carts. Terrible job of Couse marshalling. And our cart had a incorrect flag location map! Quite pathetic.

Been coming to Playa for years. Play the Hard Rock less and less each time. The course was just OK. Apparently, the corporation puts very little money into the course and amenities. Just seem to be bleeding the place. It is all inclusive but the offering are not very good. The carts are a mess and the range balls have not been changed in forever. Lastly, I still can’t figure out why they continue to close the course at 4 with 2.5+ hours of daylight to be used???????

Overall enjoyable day. Tight course. Bring extra balls. Jungle comes up fast.

Greens are small. Thin grass and soft.

We had A 7:42 tee time. Arrived at 6:50. thinking we would be able to hit a few on the range.

The line up to pay was longer than expected.

By the time we got our clubs and cart it was about 7:35. No time for the range or putting.

Score cards were paper photo copies. No course layout on the card or on any hole. Hitting blind too often. Complimentary beer ware and sandwiches on the course and beverage after the game with a reasonable buffet lunch.

I would try other courses before heading back to this one.

This course was in good conditions and played long. You need to bring your “A” game, and hit it straight to post a decent score!

Course is an interesting layout. Needs better maintenance. While free food is nice it is barely edible.

The Hard Rock is a nice course but I don’t think it’s worth $250 especially if you don’t drink. The all inclusive drinks and meals is great, but I would be fine paying $105 GolfNow for the course without the all inclusive deal. The course itself was good but nothing to make me say wow Most of the challenges come with your approach shots with rocks-boulders around the greens which were smooth and putted true. Thank God for GolfNow..

Hard Rock value for the money is only good when you can get a ‘Hot Deal’ via GN. If you are paying the regular price, it is not worth it. I can’t see why all of the courses in the area want $150+ for a round of golf. If they lowered the green fees; they would get way more play and earn more dollars as the fixed cost is already there. Locals only pay about $35 per round.

You have to make a full day of it. Arrive well before your tee time. Take advantage of the all inclusive breakfast,, go hit some balls and then get lunch on the course & dinner before they close. All the drinks are included. I must say that the beverage people are awesome. One for each nine and you get to see them often. You can order your snacks or sandwiches, burgers from them and it will arrive within the next few holes. This was the best service so far.

Golf course was challenging but so much fun! Well maintained. Golf carts a little slow but ok. Great experience!

Not a bad track, last minute and needed rental clubs. I would say the layout is good with the exception of #15, they blew up what looked like a good par 5 and stuck in a stupid par four that doesn’t fit. If they spent a little more time to expand the greens back to their original design I would give it a strong 4.2 our if five.

I played here with my son to celebrate his 18th birthday.

Good challenging layout with fairways in good conditions. Greens were wet with lots of ball marks. Was disappointed there was no hole close to the ocean or with Ocean view. Main issue was slow pace of play as most of people playing are tourists.

Round of golf included food and drinks, that made up for slow pace of play as we had more opportunities to eat and drink. Food staff delivered food to our cart and drinks cart met us every few holes.

I have played this course many times as it is conveniently located within Playacar and the conditions were better than average this time. The greens are in the best condition that I have seen however a little inconsistent. Tip is they don't break as much as you would think.

The beer selection has varied and this time only Corona and Pacifico were available.

The all inclusive benefits are nice, especially if you are not staying in an all inclusive resort. I like to arrive early, have some breakfast, hit a few balls at the range and then tee off. They will deliver a burger/hot dog/sandwich to you on the back nine.

The course is quite challenging with a great layout. For every 100 yards of fairway there are 200 yards of jungle - so keep it in play.

Pace of play was 4.5 hours with a brief stop for 15 mins during an isolated rain shower.

The staff are always friendly and accommodating.

I will play again however I stick to the Hot Deals for the best value.
