Riviera Maya Golf Club - Championship Course

I played this beautiful course. I rented clubs as I had none. First swing with a 7 iron the head goes flying. It was a well struck golf shot, upon inspection the inside of the shaft had rust inside of it. These rentals get used all the time. They charged me $125.00 to re shaft the club. Should cost 40-50 $. They REFUSED to find the manager so I could speak with him. Their own rental

Agreement says “ player will be held liable for damages IN EXCESS of normal wear and tear.” I find it very annoying that a PGA course shows this poor level of customer service. After spending $400.00 to play a round, I get shafted because I am the gringo. The course is fantastic, be the costumer service is TERRIBLE.

A well-designed course with fairways and greens in decent shape. Other areas not as manicured and as per my last visit, service is minimal. Simple things like ice and cold water for the cart on hot days seem like simple asks. No GPS and no course map on scorecard. The track has promise but servicing golfers does not seem a priority.

First I have read the previous reviews and I will agree that the carts can be in sad shape (our first round) in our second round they had just received a batch of new carts and they were very nice., For this money GPS on the cart should be included but it is not. Must agree also that the range balls were also in sad shape for the money. As far as the course which is the experience it was in excellent shape, agree that errant shots are not going to be found but unlike the other reviews the fairways are not as narrow as I I anticipated. Greens were in great condition but overall a little slow but from the type of golfers on the course probably the right speed. Both round were just over 4 hours. Cart Girl was around three times during the round and you could order lunch from her.

From the back the course is pro level but playing from the blue was an enjoyable experience.

Carts junk - no brakes, no range balls. Had fetch them myself. No gos. No problem. I would play again. Beautiful golf course Great sand , greens , and fairways.

Had a great time at this course. Very tough off the tee. The greens are very good and the ball rolls true. Staff were very friendly. The practice area was very good, as the range balls also . Will return… but like all other courses in the region the price is steep.

Impeccable condition on fairways tee boxes and greens. This course demands that you are in the right position off the tee. Plays like a true tournament course. Highly recommended.

Fairways and greens are very good. Many holes are fairly tight so lots of opportunities to lose balls in the jungle or water. Nicely designed - signature hole must be the one that incorporates a cenote by the green. Carts are mixed: some are old and my new one ran out of juice with 2 holes to go.

I've played 4 courses in the area between Cancun and Tulum in the last 12 months and overall this was the LEAST IMPRESSIVE as far as the price, service, and course conditions. To begin, they advertise free range balls with tee times but the range was empty with no balls and no staff when I played. The course was wet and your balls and clubs were constantly covered in mud/sand, yet there were NO TOWELS provided at tee off (7:10 AM) and when making the turn 2 hours later still no towels . UNACCEPTABLE for a course that is $180 USD for a round. The greens were smooth and well kept however they were obnoxiously slow considering this is a "championship" course in Mexico and not my local muni in Northeast Ohio. The parking brake worked fine in my cart (others mention issues with this) however there was no GPS, no signage on the course and nothing on the scorecard to show distances and hole layouts. Again, not something I find consistent with a course at $180 USD for a round. When I travel with my golf bag I do not bring my expensive/fragile GPS and rangefinder equipment.

I regret to say I wouldn't recommend this course and your money is better spent at Mayakoba or Gran Coyote which are less than 30 minutes from here.

I would recommend this course to anyone! It is absolutely beautiful, some road noise from the highway, but nothing to bad , services are truly lacking, no guidance from staff so check in and getting our clubs to the carts was an issue , no starters nor Marshall’s and no towels on the cart.

None of those thing would deter me from going again one of the nicest courses I’ve golfed !!! An absolute MUST !

The coarse was challenging with risk and reward. Just need to play a second time to take advantage of them.

The cart had no park brake but that was a minor inconvenience as I needed to park up against something. Not a big deal as the coarse was relatively flat.

It had some tremendous views from the old quarry rocks.

I would play a second time and recommend anyone too.

Throughly enjoyed my round. Staff was nice. Cart was in great condition, unlike previous posts of this being an issue. Range balls were eh, but practice facilities were top notch.

The fairways are a dream … very well manicured course … best in that region!

The course is very pretty but that’s all it has going for it. Zero service on the course. Everyone playing there is traveling and renting, yet they didn’t have golf balls to buy at the pro shop. The club rental was not in great shape, there were no towels so you are playing with dirty clubs, no ball cleaners—all the basics you expect from a normal course, let alone a “PGA” course. Would be fine if they charged $50 for the round but for $200 with rentals in Mexico, you should be getting much more.

Traveling to mexico presented us with some problems as far as traveling with our golf clubs was concerned, however they had very reasonably priced rentals from a major brand on offer (Taylormade.) We played in late December, and the conditions were absolutely perfect. Mid-70s, very slight breeze, not a cloud in the sky. Cant recommend the course enough, lots of fun, challenging, and scenic holes to keep your attention, and to top it all off the staff was very helpful and friendly. One of the best traveling golf experiences I've ever had, and I've played around in the states a fair amount.
