Hard Rock Riviera
Hard Rock Riviera
Designed by the renowned architect Robert von Hagge, Hard Rock Riviera smoothly integrates an incredibly challenging golf course into the 1,100-acre Playacar residential complex.
Once known as Xaman-Ha, meaning "waters of the north," this area served as a significant stop on the Maya pilgrimage route to the sacred island of Cozumel. It was a bustling community during the Post-Classic period (1000-1500 AD), serving as both a religious center and a vital trading port along the extensive Maya trade route. The development of tourism in the Riviera Maya led to rapid growth, with Playacar emerging as an exclusive residential and resort community.
Hard Rock Riviera’s 18-hole par-72 course stretches over 7,144 yards, merging the local natural beauty of the Yucatan Peninsula with the existing Playacar infrastructure. Its narrow fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and undulating greens present a serious test for golfers of all skill levels.
While the Hard Rock Riviera Golf Course has hosted some amateur and professional tournaments throughout its history, it hasn't been the site of any major championship events. Notably the course has hosted several stages of the PGA Tour Latinoamérica Qualifying School, a crucial stepping stone for aspiring professionals looking to make their mark on the tour.
In the realm of amateur golf, the course has been home to prestigious events like the Mexican National Amateur Championship, showcasing the country's top amateur talent. This tournament attracts the best players from across Mexico, competing for national honors and a chance to represent their country on the international stage.
Although no major tournaments have graced its fairways, the course's rich history and connection to the Hard Rock brand ensure it will continue to be a sought-after destination for golfers seeking a unique and memorable experience in the Riviera Maya.
