Great golf

A couple of things that I don’t like my wife likes to come along and watch the fee for a rider is way over priced $50 us

The other is it’s hard getting in and out of the resort

Great track

Great track.. Layout just short of bizarre. Good thing you have to get a caddie. Signage between holes pathetic. Back nine is awesome.

Need a Compass

Front 9 is an absolute cluster. Pathetic signage. Staff is great. 90 pesos for a 20.peso beer. Really ?

Back 9 was a joy to play since you knew where to go for the next tee.

Dissapointed with the course

Vidanta in general is an amazing complex of hotels and ammenities. Nevertheless, it seems that they have chopped and stitched the Nayar Course to acomodate new building. It is quite clear that the course has closeed some holes and improvised new ones.

The way the course is drawn, feels extrange and it is quite easy. Not to many challenges.

I was actually dissapointed.

Atypical layout

The course layout is very bad. 2-3 holes here, 4-5 holes there with very long distances in between. Not fun because rhythm is lost. One of the main jobs of the caddy was to guide us through this labyrinth.

Nayar course

The course is all chopped up due to the Mexican Open. I bought a twilight rate but not many people were playing so the pro shop said we could go. When we got there one of the course workers I believe named Daniel told us we couldn’t go after we had permission. The guy was an egomaniac. After a heated discussion he gave me his permission to go. Don’t think I’ll ever play there again.

Look for a better option.

We played while the Norman course was being prepped for the Mexico Open. Many holes were shortened due to the tee boxes being moved to the fairway. The back nine had sanded greens on every hole. None of this information was given prior to the round and we were charged full price. Course conditions were fair-not great. Caddy was nice but not necessary.
