About
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.

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!
Beautiful Course
First time we played it got a great deal on Golfnow for $118. not sure if i would pay $179 but it is very nice , all the staff were great.
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.
A good day at golf
A very good day at the golf course. The transportation from our place to the golf course. The course was very nice We will go again
It was great. The layout is nice the pro was very accommodating. I would recommend it, the pace of play was perfect!!
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!
Best Value
Of the three courses we played this was the best deal and also uncrowded . All the drinks and food were included. I booked it on Golf Pass or Golf Mexico
Gem of a course
Beautiful Niklaus designed course. Very tight driving course with water on 16 of 18 holes. Bring lots of balls if you don't hit it straight. Course conditions were top notch, except for several bunkers which were under repair (rocks, no sand, mud).
Rental clubs were Callaway and in decent condition.
Nice surprise was all food and drinks (including beer) was included in the price both on-course and in the clubhouse restaurant.
Too much water but a good time
We played this course two days in a row. My partner quit day 1 by the 11th hole, frustrated at his play while trying find a rhythm. Soooooo much water to hit over, very challenging course. We made it through day 2. Played a little better. Just sucked it up. Heck, we couldn’t make the water get out of our way, right? Challenging but beautiful course. Kept well. Caddies super attentive. Beverage cart team also. Greeted with juice and coffee and pastries. Lunch also provided. Decent selection. Will go back over and over again.
