Riviera Maya Golf Club - Championship Course

About
PGA Riviera Maya Golf Club has been ranked as one of the top five golf courses in Mexico. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the Championship Course winds through lush Mayan jungle. Natural lakes also dot the scenic landscape. Being so close to the ocean, wind definitely comes into play, especially on the tough par-3 second hole, which plays directly into the prevailing winds. If you are able to keep your shots in the fairway, you'll surely be rewarded with a good lie and a challenging, but fair approach. Jones carefully carved the golf course from the deepest part of a limestone quarry, spreading the fairways across treacherous jungle growth that is just waiting to swallow up errant shots. In addition to the championship layout, there is also an Executive Course that is one of the best nine-hole golf courses in the Rivera Maya.

Beautiful
Course was perfect.
Pace of play was not fast enough. The course was not busy and we waited on the group in front of us on every tee box for 10-15 min. They were atrocious. Completely ruined the back 9 for us.
Great course but poor management.
The staff inside the clubhouse and check-in are clueless and at times rude. They even ignore people that come inside. As a player who has played at this course over 15 times while staying at my home here, I am dissapointed with what I observed. Five some in front let us play through which was appreciated. But surpised they let out a five some in the first place. In addition, there was no mention of the greens being aerated. Therefore, the greens were awful. Consequently, there should have been a reduction in the rate. Also, cart was always on path (cart path only due to rain the day before and that morning), which is understandable. However, while cart remained on the cart path at all times, there were several instances where the cart's gps thought the cart was not on the path and would stop, and screen would incorrectly indicate that it was cart path only that day. I would have to sit for 20 seconds then accelerate cart again for it to operate, all while the cart remained on the concrete cart path at all times (was not even on the gravel waste areas near the cart path) when this occurred multiple times. Lots of fluff for the eye at this course (especially in the club house), yet it is for image only. I am certain that other areas of the course have additional issues once you peel back the layers and the false image presented.
Awesome round of golf
This was my second round of golf in one week at this course. The course was still challenging but well worth the price. I will be back sooner than later to play it again
Worth the 45 minutes away!
Past a few other golf courses on the way and no regrets! Highly recommend playing this golf course.
Great course
Great course. Good layout. Great maintained. GPS was very accurate and helpful. I would definitely play here again if I come to Cancun.
Very slow
Nice course. Took me about 2.5 hours to play the front 9 then almost 2 hours for the next 5 holes. Packed it in on 16 when there were two groups waiting on the T blocks and 2 groups in the fairway. I suggest a better marshall service might help.
Awesome Riviera Maya Golf!!!
The course is gorgeous and was in such terrific shape that it was a great day of golf. The staff were all very friendly. The fairways and greens were really professionally manicured and as nice as any course I have played anywhere. I would definitely play this course again, and even at a rate of $160 it was so much better than many other courses in the area that I have played over the years that for the Riviera Maya I think it is a must play. The only issue some may have is that the course is not very forgiving once you are out of the fairway. The sides of fairways are often crowned and will kick errant shots into the jungle and you won't find them. So if you are not hitting it straight, you can lose a lot of balls. There is also a fair amount of water on many holes that again can claim a lot of balls if you are not on your game. But again, it is such a beautiful course, even on a rocky ball striking day it would be hard to have a bad time there.
PGA review
The course was in decent shape and I felt I got a good deal with my greens fees.
I did have to rent clubs and the irons/woods were awesome. But the putter was horrible. The grip should have been changed 2 years ago! For the cost of the rental set that was ridiculous to have that in the bag.
