The course is well groomed and very challenging. If you don't hit the ball fairly straight make sure you bring lots of balls. Some of the holes are breathtakingly beautiful.

We stayed at the Sian Ka'an from Jan 16 - 26, 2013, and played golf at the Riviera Maya golf club 5 times. Although they do charge $80 each for a cart with the all inclusive golf ($55 each after 1:00) there was a deal where if you played just after 6:30 the cart was $70 each. The course is so amazing but difficult, so lower your expectations about what your score will be! This is not your 'feel good' resort course (with forgiving fairways and flat greens) - it is challenging and will punish you for an errant shot ( or even what you thought was a good shot!).
On the second last day of our stay we had booked a tee time at 6:40 and paid for the round, then before we had teed off a torrential downpour started. We waited for an hour and a half, but there was no sign of it letting up, so we asked for a refund. The girl in the pro shop said that was impossible, and a raincheck was obviously no good since we were leaving the next day. We tried to contact the manager, who was unavailable. Luckily, by 10:30, the course was playable again, and we got out and didn't have to forfeit our $140. It was a pleasant surprise that even after all that rain, the course dried out quickly and we stopped playing a 90 degree rule after 8 holes! Players beware - refunds do not seem probable in Mexico! Also, if you staying at the Sian Ka'an, you can get drinks from the bar at the clubhouse, but off the beverage cart you have to pay.....food in the clubhouse is not included either. We stored our clubs at the course and Sammy and his staff were great!

We played here as a couple while staying at the Sian Ka'an hotel. $80 for cart for hotel guests. $45 for rental clubs. Beautiful golf course, challenging with water and rocky areas, as well as vegetation that is just waiting to grab your ball. Front nine is easier than back nine. Very well groomed, friendly staff, very convenient to hotel. Loved it!

We golfed here while staying at the Sian Ka'an resort at the beginning of January. The fees were a bit pricey, but it was worth it. We actually ended up just playing the executive after booking 18 holes. This course would of been challenging and too hot for the time we played at, so we ended up playing the 9 holes, which was still pretty fun!

Golf course was beautiful, loved seeing all the iguanas on the pathways, and some wildlife on the greens. Lots of water and sand traps. Overall i'd recommend it just once, if you have a chance!
