Don’t be fooled by the all Inclusive

The conditions were average but the additional all included freebies were not worth the extra $$. The staff in the club house were less than helpful. Our tee time included round trip transportation to our hotel however it was not included when we went to book our ride home. The food on the course looked like it was made by a third grader … the best part was the free beer, but I’m not sure that’s worth the extra 100 you pay

Birthday surprise

Didn’t expect to play golf this holiday, but got a great surprise

Pros

Course was great

Wildlife was great

Staff were great

On-site food and drinks great

Negatives

Club hire doesn’t come with any balls

Should have clubs to suit handicap ie option of steel shaft instead of just carbon shaft

Only 12 clubs instead of 14

Overall though had a great day

Tip

If you’re planning on taking the Missus make sure she’s wearing collars or expect to pay $100 for shirt

Bring a golf glove and balls with you or pay a further $150

Out of time

Can’t understand there selling a 18 holes round at 13:30 tee off time and when you arrive at the clubhouse there telling you the golf course closing time is 16:30. If you’re able to play 18 holes in 3 hours, good luck! !!!

Great track with all inclusive feels

This course is a diamond in the rough. Amenities of food drink and snacks were awesome. Carts were super fast, rental clubs of Taylormade were solid, and course layout was challenging but fair. Highly recommend to those in the area.

All inclusive golf. Great fun

Loved hard rock golf so much we went back three times. Never heard of a all inclusive golf club and normally i dont like the concept, but here in playa del carmen it was great fun and great value for money. We got a hot deal through a golfing app and only paid 75 dollars each. Had nice lunch, all the drinks you could handle on the course, which was beautiful by the way. Great layout, all kjnds of wildlife and great golfholes. I liked nine and eighteen especially. Water in front of the green but still great birdie-opportunities. Would highly recommend the hard rock.

Great shape!

The course is in excellent condition , and bunkers are well sanded and greens are true. Staff are very accommodating and friendly. Refreshments are regularly provided throughout the round. The course is challenging. Bring your A game! Another great visit and highly recommended.

Great layout, a little pompous for my taste

Beautiful layout, great conditions and not very many people. But expensive and people were not as nice and relaxed as hard rock golf club in Playa. Entrance was just ridiculous and pompous like the great wall of China, and something of that pretentiousness seemed to rub of on the people. But if you dont mind that sort of thing, it is worth it. Especially the back nine has some great holes. One with a beautiful cenote near te great and a grwat par 3 over water.
