Hard Rock Golf Club Riviera Maya

Very Difficult

Course was very tough. So many dog legs. If you miss the fairway, it's a lost ball. Course conditions were okay. I would expect better kept conditions for a hard rock golf course. Don't get me wrong, layout and design were nice but there were a lot of dry spots. I did play Riviera Cancun Golf Club the day before so my expectation were set very high but course conditions could be better. It is all you can drink and eat while there so that's a plus

Wow!

Another gem by Jack. This course exceeded every single one of my expectations. Beautiful course. Beautiful layout. Conditions were emasculate. Great bang for your buck. All you can eat and drink included with your tee time. Unlimited range balls. Golf cart girl made frequent trips, maybe once every 3 holes. Even hole 19 was terrific. Still food included in greens fee. I would 100% recommend this course. If your staying in Riviera maya or beyond it is about an hour drive but trust me when I say it's worth it!

Really well maintained

Play this course for the first and i love it. Its a little expensive especially for it being part of the park district but overall a very nice place. The course itself is really fun. A lot of dog legs, obstacles, etc not for the beginner. quite a bit of wind too since you're out in the open so most of the time you have to account for the wind. Greens were rolling very true.

My only concern was that it was a hot day and I only saw the drink cart once through out the entire round. I'm not going to hold it against them. I'd still recommend this course

I liked this one

Course was very wet from all the rain and it was cart path only which is always an inconvenience in my book. Staff was very friendly, kept us updated on weather and their food was really good. They had "shoes" which is a Springfield thing, and they were good there. Course layout was very fun. It's a shame it's only a 9 hole course but it was fun to play. A couple holes where water hazard was involved. Overall a great time and a bang for your buck

I enjoyed this one

I really liked this course. The course was really soggy from all the rain recently but that did not affect my round of golf. You get a lot of everything in this course. Very well rounded. Lots of hills, sand traps, water hazards, etc. You can even demo golf clubs during your round for free, just leave your drivers license which I loved since they had a driver that I've been wanting. Very friendly staff. Overall great solid place.

A well managed golf course

This is the second time playing at The Links at Carillon. It is a well managed golf course. Played the Red/White course from the blue tees (which was a first for me) and it was both difficult and very fun! I really enjoyed this course. Not to mention that you get a great bang for your buck. Tee boxes and greens were is great condition. GPS looked a little outdated but it does the job. Overall a great experience!

Going down the drain

Tee boxes were torn up. Greens were very beat up, making putting a nightmare. It seems like maintenance for the course has gown down the drain. Our cart's brakes didn't work and our cart's battery gave out on hole 14. No starter or ranger to in force rate of play. It took a two-some 5 1/2 hours to complete 18 holes. There was a group of 10 messing around on the course and holding everyone up. Its a shame that this course is in a very nice area but course management is slacking.

Bang for your buck!

This is usually my go to place. The staff is always really friendly and it's a good course for the money. Greens were a little slow this time because of the rain the night before but still in good condition. The rate of play was also very good considering it rained and the local high school team was practicing. A great beginners course as well as a veteran. All around a very well established and maintained facility.

First Class Experience

The moment you walk into the entrance it feels like first class. A MUST DO golf course in Riviera Maya. El Camaleon is the host of the only PGA tour event in Mexico. Greens were a little slow but that could have been caused by rain the night before. Very beautiful designed golf course with a par 3 hole overlooking the ocean.
