Good
Nayar is combined with some Normas and some of Nicklaus old layout, would have better green maintenance on tbe old back 9. Overall great experience with golf now got a great discount.
Great course
It’s a great course, unfortunately I was only able to play back 9 due front 9 was on maintenance
Lots of surprised
Only 9 holes is open. They make you play the same 9 twice.
Once you arrive you’re trapped. Cab prices double on the way out.
Caddie fee minimum of 700 pesos.
Great course other than the surprise fees. Go early to get through all of driving on site.
Little disappointed
When we went to check in at the pro shop, that's when we were told half of the 9 holes were closed due to aeration and we are to play 2nd 9 holes twice. That was not noted when we booked and wouldn't have booked if we have known.
First time at Nayar golf course at Vidanta
This course is part of a large gated resort. It is one of two courses. The other one is Greg Norman designed championship course. The courses criss cross in some locations and I was extremely confusing and frustrating to locate the holes. Some holes are spaced apart as far as a quarter mile or more, extremely poor signage and some of the signs are in bad shape with hole numbers missing.
It is possible that the courses were undergoing repairs and restoration when I played at the end of April (not a peak golf season here).
So unless you are staying in the resort or familiar with the course layouts, it can be a frustrating experience. Other than that the courses are great and well maintained.
Fun Track
I play a lot of courses of various layouts, length and conditions. Yes, you do have to account for shuttle delays, some holes that take a bit of a drive to get to, but really enjoyed the round and our caddy Miguel was a joy to have.
Hot deal value
Good value on hot deal very frustrating and hard to navigate between a number of holes fairways and greens in good shape surounding areas a little rough staff very nice
Not worth it!!
The course was in marginal condition.
There are no signs directing you to tee boxes.
No idea how to get to holes.
To go to the 6 th and 7th hole is a 5 min drive with no direction signs.
A golf course worker had to lead us done there after we looked for it for 10 minutes.
This course should not exist. It’s an embarrassment to golf courses.
Mixed experience
The Course in good shape. The Nayar course wasn’t that difficult. Beautiful straight fairways, excellent greens and not many hazards. However, there is little signage and the holes don’t follow each other.
We got lost more than once. Staff could not have been more helpful but we shouldn’t have had to ask.
Really took away from the enjoyment of our game.
O was willing to pay 700 pesos for a Canny
No caddy available could not fiend hole 6 & 7 Vega’s to change kart it was running out of battery mainly for looking for hole 6&7 but course need to be rethink its layout and better signs
Really nice good greens
Greens very inconsistent
The bad news is once at Vidanta property, they really “get you” to have to take a taxi back if you are not staying in Nayarit. The prices have gone way up for that, not worth the trip there are all if you are in Jalisco.
