The Riviera Cancun Golf Club is the most recent addition to Cancun. Jack Nicklaus has done remarkable job carving this gem using the natural contours of the terrain, this course boasts strategic bunkering, immaculate greens, wooden bridges and the peaceful tranquility of the natural reserve that surrounds the course. 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.

Great day on the course

Hitting it straight is key on this beautiful course. There's lots of water and jungle if the ball is pushed or hooked. Fairways in exceptional shape, top notch service, and incredible scenery. The greens were a bit slow and took a few holes to get used to. And the wind, combined with humidity requires 2 club higher selection on many greens. I'd play this course again and again.

When you booked through golf now they arrange the shuttle or do you need to do that separately?

Perfectly manicured

This is an amazing golf course. It's very well laid out except the rough is water. If you miss a fairway, drop another ball. Unless you are very accurate with the woods stick to the irons and play safe golf. View of the ocean on 2 holes. Thanks to golf now app I got to play this sweet course at a reasonable rate. Love the all inclusive drinks and food as well as the hotel pickup and return. No hassle!

Fabulous but brutal

This course was awesome. Make sure that you hit your ball straight. Very tight, nice large greens, lots of water. The all inclusive day was well worth it. Be careful not to get too close to the crocodiles. I will definitely play this course when I am back in Cancun.

Wow

Beautiful course with many challenging holes. Bring extra balls because if you go OB you're not getting it back. Saw a couple crocs and a family of Coati (cute and curious. Will steal from the cart if not careful).

Recommend this course to any skill level. The views will make anyone appreciate.

Great course

Played 9/27/16 and again 9/29/16. Great course, overall in good condition although the greens and some tee boxes were aerated. Challenging layout with lots of hazards.. need to keep it in the fairways. Would love to come back

Review

Course layout is nice, not overly difficult and par 3's are the best....Paid $50 which is an all exclusive rate that includes cart, range balls, drinks, food and green fees....Staff is super nice and accommodating....Only complaints were that they punched the greens the day before we played and did not disclose and the par 5's were similiat and lack creativity

Nice place

Shot 8 over from the blues. Im a 10 handicap. Need to play a few times to learn the greens. Some buried elephants making approach shots run away from hole locations. Played as a 3 some and played without seeing another group. Great golf and beer included made for a nice round.

Pack lot of balls

Great course. When I played the first time, the greens were sanded and no one told us. Good size fairway but if you miss either crocodile or iguana will eat your balls. Pack extra balls since its expensive in cancun
