The Riviera Cancun Golf Club is the most recent addition to Cancun.

Golfers will also enjoy the ocean views on holes 14 and 15.

The spectacular Mexican-Contemporary Club house greets guests before they begin their journey over bridges, through the dunes, mangroves and lakes which are only some of the elements which make this course visually stunning. The resort is 100% Mexican owned and is located in the Hotel Zone and only 5 minutes from the airport.

Overall good experience, just need better communication regarding all inclusive

I had a 12:45 tee time but was able to get on a bit earlier with another group. Course is great, cart guy very friendly. The only issue was none us were told the restaurant and bar close at 4 pm. We got in at 430 pm thinking we would eat and grab a few drinks. Unfortunately, no. Instead, we were given a turkey sandwich and sent on our way. So if you have a late tee time, get there earlier to eat or make sure you stop on the back 9 and head to the club house for a meal

Course was great but they need to explain better when bar and kitchen closes

I had a 1245 pm tee and was never told the bar and restaurant closed at 4 pm!!! I was expecting to finish play and come in and have dinner. Instead, I was told bar and kitchen was closed, here's a turkey sandwich! Other than that, course and staff are great! Just please, better communication, I could have grabbed something to eat at the back 9!

Fake reservation…

I reserved a tee time on golf now and paid for it. The course had a tournament and did not reimburse my money. Do not play there!

Worth it.

Course has a nice layout. Greens are good. Some fairways get tight on backside. Pace of play was only problem. Almost 5 hrs. Would play again though.

Amazing!

The course was in great condition and service was great! Saw a crocodile, iguanas, a snake and coatis! Lost lots of balls which was expected. The 14th hole has ocean views that we’ve paid for! There was no players behind us so my partner and I felt pretty relaxed , no rushing… was worried it might too hot but wasn’t felt that hot because of lots of wind.
Over all, it was an unique experience of golfing in the jungle on the Caribbean coast of Mexico! Highly recommended!
