Great conditions

The course is in great shape, great fairways, fast greens.

We ended up with the most junior caddies that was not really helpful. We knew what we were doing anyway but felt like we had to pay extra for little added value service.

We’ll come back anyway as it was one amongst many rounds but give the feedback so the club does some validation work in caddy qualifications.

Easy and flat

We were required (no choice) to take a caddy although we had a golfcar

Layout of the course was strange, some holes were kilometers apart

Play were slow

Greens were good

Sand were difficult (compact)

Generally enjoy the round and the nice weather

Caddies were fantastic and much needed

Good course but very poorly routed. It would be just about impossible to get around the course without a caddie.

I think it is an interesting play as the layout and grass changes fron front to back. The back nine was fun, fast and tight. The front had some great holes but the amount of driving around between some holes is close to ridiculous. Anyways, the caddies made it an enjoyable ride.

Can't stress how much fun I had on course with the caddies, both on this course and the Norman coures. My experience will be different than most because I played solo and had my own caddie but it was blast and I am looking forward to coming back

Crazy layout and markings

Drove to usual check in point but told it had changed (without road markings) and was back near the entrance, time wasted. Parked car 10 minute walk away, time wasted. Waited for cart to take us to pro shop, time wasted. Waited for cart to practice range, time wasted. No markings showing how to go from hole to hole. You absolutely must have a caddie. Drive from one of the holes to the next took 7 minutes, time wasted. Finished game, waited for cart to take us back to new checkin point then took 10 minutes to drive there in cart, time wasted. Got out of cart with clubs and walked to parking, 10 minutes, more time wasted. Crazy layout and organization. They need professional help!! Super frustrating and a LOT OF TIME WASTED.

Nice course

Had lots of fun playing these two Vidanta courses. The Nayar course was shorter but challenging. Thoroughly enjoyed playing it. My forecaddy was helpful.

Poor Signage

Finding your way around the course was difficult. The signage was horrible forgetting from #5 to #6. Also, from getting from #8 to #9. The worst part was getting from from front nine to the back nine. We lost 45 minutes of driving around looking to find our way around.
