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.

Excellent, but tight course, will play again!

The condition of the course was pristine! While tight and a bit of a ball eater. The greens rolled true.
The cart guys were very regular and being all inclusive, we stopped at the turn to enjoy a nice meal.
The beach holes were smelly because of the algae, but the rest of the course was great! Plan on playing again. Last Cancun Club rentals provided awesome clubs at a great price!

Great Course, with plenty of challenges

The tee boxes, greens and fairways were all in excellent condition. This is a beautiful golf course. Lots of water, fairly narrow with most of the holes laid out between the mangroves trees, plus throw in wind and it gives you lots of challenge. The only negative was the sand bunkers, which had very little sand, were very hard and a large number had sitting water in them.

Solid overall

Tee to green 10/10 conditions
Range balls were below average considering the price of the course and the price of equipment/apparel in the pro shop. But those prices are expected in the location of the golf course.

Beautiful scenery but…

Beautiful scenery but driving range was below standard. They gave us about 20 of the worst golf balls I have ever seen. The rental clubs were horrible for $50 additional charge per person. Transportation was “included” but they said they were unable to pick us up. Additionally, we were told they would take us back to our resort after the round. However, they called a taxi and we had to pay additional transportation again. Very disappointing!

What a time!

Had a great experience golfing here with some family. Challenging fairways and greens. There is lots of water and wildlife. Tee time came with transportation, food and drink. Arrange with your hotel a day before you play. Definitely stick up on golf balls in the states. Little pricey at the pro shop.

Nice Layout

Pretty Course. not far from hotel zone . Lots of wildlife and scenery , Bunkers protecting most holes and alot of water carrie’s. Played the first 9 in an hour with nobody there but caught up to a twosome that slowed pace. A bit steep price wise but they did include free beverages . Pleased overall

Hidden Gem in Cancun!

During a recent vacation to Mexico we booked 3 rounds of golf around Cancun to experience different courses. Rivera Cancun was absolutely wonderful. The staff was warm and welcoming, the course was in great shape, the send players out in 2's, the pace of play was relaxed, the course was challenging, the cart came by every 4 holes, and the cost is all-inclusive!
After playing other courses I would have been happy to play the 3 rounds at Riviera Cancun. I will definitely go back next time I'm in Cancun!
