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.

Unfriendly staff

My wife and I have played your course many times and even stayed at your resort. We met at the front gate by a very nice young lady and checking in at the pro shop another very nice young lady!

Unfortunately after that was not a good experience.

After coming outside to get our car neither of the 3 men offered to help us until I told them we were playing the Nayar course.

The 1 guy finally came over and asked which clubs were ours and after telling him which clubs were ours he asked me again when there were only 2 sets sitting being us. I got frustrated and started to load my own when he sprang into action and grabbed my wife’s clubs. After the clubs were loaded my wife nicely asked them where to go and they just shrugged and left us sitting there. A nice upping man driving people somewhere on the resort told us to follow him and took us to our destination. As for the other 3 persons, I’m sure they were way too busy talking to each other to care! We got a very nice caddy by the name of Raul who was a pleasure for our foursome!

We will return and play again but if we are treated like that again I will be directly contacting management!

When we stayed at your resort and played we were treated much better than the second hand citizens you treated us that day as visitors!

I hope you are able to better your staff and operation to treat everybody as equals! This could be construed as discrimination as we were just day users and not paying guests!

Thank You

Nice course

Some crazy travel.between some holes but it was enjoyable to play and worth the money. Blue tees play short but still a challenge.

Fast round

I played with a caddie. Always an enjoyable experience to have one of Vidanta's knowledgeable caddies on the bag. Teed off at 1 p.m. and was done before 4. Love the course. Nayar is a bit easier than the Norman course and as such is a bit of a relief. All in all a great day.

Nayar at Vidanta

The layout. On the front 9 the course does not flow as there are large gaps between holes. The back 9 is good.

The is too many shorter holes!

Great Value

Played the Nayor Course 3 times. There was 6 of us and it provided us with just right the amount of difficulty.

Book through Golf Now for the best price. Do not be intimidated by the fact you have to have a caddie to play; they are great and very helpful!

Great course, odd signage to find the next hole!

The course was in great shape, however the signage to get to holes 6, 9 and 17 need to be marked ASAP. We drove around for 20 minutes trying to find hole 6. When you leave hole 5, turn right at the sign for the washrooms (Banos) or else you will never find it. Then you drive about a kilometer!!! Similar the 9th hole you are driving straight and there is a left turn but no signage, and of course should have turned left.

Other than that great course!

When booking the course there was no mention of a caddie being mention cost of another $700 pesos the signage from hole to hole is a disaster the only good thing about the caddie is he new where to go getting to the pro shop was another challenge that we were not made aware I believe you're on line booking has a lot of no or missing information I will never be back
