Riviera Maya Golf Club - Championship Course

Course was in great shape. Was challenging and one of the nicest in the playa/cancun area

The par 3 was very beautiful. The natural centoes made for great looking holes and good hazards. It is a quick fun course of you are looking for something different to do in Akumal. The basic rentals are okay. I can’t wait to come back and play the full 18.

We were not certain of the quality of the ensuing golf experience when we booked the golf course. However, it could not have been better, The fairways and greens were perfect, the course presented a challenge for anyone wanting to test their skills while enjoying the surrounding beauty, and the staff was considerate and polite. The fees for amateurs included round trip transportation. range balls, and bottled water on the course. Our only disappointment was that our cart slowed to a crawl with 8 holes remaining...and.though the GPS screen on the cart included a notice to the golf shop that we needed our cart replaced, no help ever showed up as we finished the round at a crawl...and much to our surprise. This course rivals any Bermuda grass golf course in the US and, as a PGA Professioal and former PGA Tour member, I would consider it a must play...you can;t go wrong.

Practiced and played 4 rounds during our holiday. As a guest staying in the residences on the Bahía Principe property the rate was $80 after 1pm. Good value for a high quality course and overall experience. Plenty of challenge here, with thick jungle and crystal clear lakes and cenotes framing several shots. Prevailing winds kept things cool but added length to a stretch of already long par fours on the back 9. Lots to like about the area and the resort. Add golf at Riviera Maya and you have a truly exceptional holiday experience.

We had a perfect golfing week played 6 games. The staff, course, weather all wonderful. You are treated very well. The fact we can leave our clubs huge. Bevy cart always there for lots of water. We keep returning because it is always first class. Thank you all

My husband and I played 8 rounds of golf on this great course. Everything was well organized and everybody at the location took good care of us.

We can warmly recommend this course to other golfers!

My wife and I don’t normally golf on vacation but we decided to give it a try. The course is beautiful with several holes worthy of the label “signature”.

Staff are very helpful and take their time to ensure you have a great experience.

Can’t wait for the next round!

A challenging course in great shape and with great staff. A pleasure to play in the Mayan Riviera. Bring extra balls! Unique design and don't even bother looking in the jungle if you're a bit errant. Course is in fantastic shape.

This was fifth time playing this courrse, still well maintained with friendly staff.
Excellent layout that you won't forget, would recommend .

Stayed at the Bahia Principe Sian Ka'an resort between Jan. 15-22...

The resort was adjacent to the wonderful Riviera Maya G&CC, and I played 6 rounds during my stay - Most rounds played with other resort guests, the last day on my own.

The practice facilities and the course itself is amazing, please check out the website for a 'hole by hole' outline.

The course is reasonably difficult (72.1/128 from the blues), but very playable and really fun. To me the highlight hole is the 6th 'Cenote' hole (photo attached) which is while the toughest hole, one of the prettiest I've ever played. The Par 3 15th is also a sight to behold (and very challenging)...

I would HIGHLY recommend this course, the staff in the proshop and off the starters area are very service oriented and an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Give the course a try, and stay at the resort at the same time, it was our 3rd year in a row!!

A friend and I played this course a few days ago. The course is beautifully located in the middle of the forrest (on the Bahia resort) and with small lakes/cenotes along the holes.

The course is kept in a very good condition and the holes are both funny and challenging.

You can rent all the equipment you need, should you not bring your own clubs. A big plus was also that the greenfee was at 50% if you stayed at the Bahia Resort or Bahia Apartments.

The Sales Dept. is very professional, quickly in responding all questions we had, via email, before arrival.

I can strongly recommend this course!

I very rarely lose a ball but managed to lose 5 on this course, probably due to hiring clubs and not using my own. Course was nice to play on and had some beautiful features, played off the white tees as I was out at 1pm, would have added an hour on round off blue tees and it was too hot. To be fair would have tamed this course off white tees with my own clubs but I guess most of us can say that lol. Staff were friendly enough but when I asked to use locker room the attendant showed me to a small bench to change my shoes, so I do not know if shower facilities were available. Also I could have done with a cold beer after my round but was not really tempted to use the facilities by any member of staff. Would play course again, perhaps in morning and off longer tees and will bring my own clubs next time

Just returned from a week at the attached Bahia Principe Akumal. Played three times in the week. Course was very busy twice and not busy at all third time. Very hot in afternoon. Course is in excellent shape and one of my all time favorites. Also played it three times 5 years ago. Some very interesting holes and the potential for lots of trouble ( bunkers, water, cenotes and jungle ) if you don't keep it straight. Bunkers were in good shape other than where previous players hadn't raked. Great clubhouse with Taylor Made rentals, restaurant, bar and showers. Excellent practice facility with full length driving range, bunkers and chipping area as well as putting. GPS carts and starter very helpful. Rates are posted on their website and change with the season but certainly worth checking out if in that area of Mexico.

The course is very hard to play but it is beautiful and you get to play one of the 3 best courses in Mexico. It is expensive but you get complementary water, sodas and snacks.

Played in 4 hours, Cart girl came around frequently. The course has many good holes with sand and water. The greens were not in very good shape but the rest of the course was in good condition. Pack extra balls.

Course is 5 years old cut out of a jungle.
greens need time to mature- 5 more years this will be better than El Cameleon at Mayakoba.
Round included snacks, pop/water.

We booked tee times for 8:40am on Golfnow. When we showed up at the course, they said there were no times available, but we could come back at 11:00am. Two of us came back at 11:00, then they said there were no times available until 12:30! We travelled from BC and Nova Scotia to play golf here, and received this kind of treatment. There was no attempt to fit us in anywhere. When we did tee off later, it was a
5 1/2 hour round in mid day heat.
We were very disappointed with the service, and lack of compassion from the course staff. We are also disappointed in the Golfnow reservation not carrying any weight.
