The course is short. We played from blue tees at 5800 yards. There were blind shots on numerous holes. Greens were slow. It was a long day (5 hrs 15 min) due to the group in front of us. We waited on every hole. The Marshall told us on 10 that he spoke to them about picking up pace due to the fact that there were two completely open holes in front of them. Never saw the Marshall again. Instead of speeding up, they played slower. By the time we got to 14, there was no one in front of them on the course. Also, they do not indicate no driving range on website and charge $21.00 for sleeve of balls.

Played on October 2nd. Layout was very fun. Lots of elevated tee boxes with nice views. For $140, however, I expected better overall conditions. Fairways were in good shape, but many of the tee boxes were not level or kept up well. The greens were too soft, slow and bumpy.. I would have enjoyed the round for $50, not $140.

I really enjoyed my experience at Riviera Cancun. The course was tough but fair. There are a lot of water carries off the tee and if you miss the fairway and rough you will not find your ball. That being said, the layout is excellent and keeps your attention. The service at the course from the checkin to the end of the round is fantastic. All your food and drinks on the course and at the 19th hole are included in your green fee. The drink cart comes by every three holes. It rained during the round and there were thatched roof waiting areas to sit it out which was great for staying dry. I will definitely play Riviera Cancun again. It is a bit more expensive than some of the other courses in the area, but the service and course conditions make it worth the price.
