Resort golf
The course was a bit wet from rain! Carts only on paths made for a lot of walking and the weather was still pretty hot. Drinks on the course made up for it. The greens were not good at all, very bumpy and the grass did not look good. Extremely slow greens.
Most Underrated golf course
This course is best value for golf in all of typical vacation spots. All drinks/food is included and they come around often.
The course is tight so few holes difficult but definitely not boring vacation golf course. Good condition and challenging shots where you have to think about it.
Played it the next day and equally challenging and fun.
Highly recommend it and I’m a 8 handicap.
Nice experience
The course is narrow and it is a good challenge.We realy appreciate the good shape of the course. The staff is helpfull and the lunch and drinks are a bonus
Very Expensive
It was very expensive for a one player to play. Also they were not able to take me back to my hotel, and I think that over the expensive kind give them a four-star. I did feel like they wanted to take as much money out of my pocket as they could, but other than that the course is amazing ended up buying a shirt that was great quality again. I think I probably paid close to six $700 just to play on that horse. Balls the rental of the golf clubs that were very old and beat up. The golf cart was so hard to steer. It was an older model. Once again the golf course was amazing.
Has a double dogleg
Some fun and challenging holes.
Fairways and some greens need to be in better condition.
Great experience
Fairways and greens in great condition. Not an extremely difficult course but does have some challenging holes. Pace of play was a little slow but I expect it on a resort course. It is an all inclusive course. Breakfast was good. Beverage cart had a small selection of beers and liquor. Small snacks also available on beverage cart. All servers were extremely nice and accommodating. Emailed pro shop to verify tee time and pro shop responded quickly. Overall great experience and will play again next time I’m in Playa del Carmen.
Tight
No chance at finding your ball if you hit it in the woods. Fun and challenging course
Excellent Service
The golf course was fantastic, the services were excellent. Thank you for a wonderful time.
Great experience
Really enjoyed the game although greens were a little sliw
course was fine, however the agreement specifically states that transportation is included. We were then told by the staff that it was not! We were in the Playa del Carmen zone and had to provide our own transportation.
Not Bad
I have golfed here before and it was great. This time there was a family with kids so they had ten ahead of us. They would not let us play thru. It was me and two others.They argued with management about having us play thru so we had to go around. When we were playing behind them, golf clubs were left behind and other items. Needless to say I didn’t finish the course. I had to leave at the 12th hole and that was over four hours in.
Wonderful Carribean course
Tough course. Smal and slow greens, narrow fairways but fun layout. Drinks and breakfast included. Very slow in September so no rush in play time. Very hot weather so be prepared
Sloooooooow Greens
Tight course, cut out of the Jungle. Which makes a straight long tee shot a necessity. Also not a lot of air flow so makes for a hot day when temperatures are up!! Greens are well protected with a lot of bunkers. If you don’t bring your “A” game you are in for a long, frustrating day. Not GPS on cart also made it tough to find proper yardage.
Greens ruined it for us though. Very slow, like rolling about a 1 or 2 on the stimpmeter.
