Rating 75.0

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.

not such a free round, but very worth the cart fee

Greens and Fairways were pristine, as nice as any I have ever played and I have been fortunate enough to play at TPC Summerlin before a tour event only a week out. Golf was included with my stay at Sian Ka'an Bahia Principe, however I was responsible for cart fee which was 45 dollars pp twilight (65 $ regular rate and think had 55 $ early bird). As golfing single went late and played round under 3 hours even though donated many balls to the stunning surroundings. I played the 18 twice during my stay and on last day tried the par 3 that was challenging but a little expensive when compared to just few dollars more and could be playing 18. Service was extremely friendly and after each round was offered a ride back to room which in my case was couple minute walk thus declined. Hotel guests also can have clubs stored and therefore I didn't have to haul clubs up and down stairs to room after each round. I think pop and water was free from snack cart and a charge that wasn't over the top for booze, but that might of been only for hotel guests. The fairways were smooth enough to putt off and remain true throughout the transition which helped me achieve several one putts. Guest or visitor to near by hotel, this course is worth a visit, bring your camera.
