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!

Nayar

Our caddy Juan was great. The course was backed up, and there were some very slow foursomes And given that we were just a twosome Juan was able to To pop around the course and catch empty holes and we still ended up playing all 18 in just over 2 1/2 hours!!

Convenient and most economical

My girlfriend and I stayed at Vidanta and had planned to golf while here. We are both mid/high handicappers. This course offered the best value for us. Nothing special about the course. Fairways are very forgiving. Bunker sand was kind of gritty. Greens were sandy or furry. We had to use a forecaddy who was a great guy (ask for Gabriel). He offered putting reads and was a huge help just navigating the cart path which was not always obvious. Not sure the forecaddy was worth the expense but that is a part of the deal. We live in Oregon so we were just appreciative of dry warm golf. If you want Pebble Beach not your course, but if you want to enjoy some weather and hack it up like me…it was pretty darn good.

Forward ladies tees provide good way to ease into playing in PV's hot humid weather. Fun to see iguana. Always enjoy having a caddie. PV caddies are very reasonable and good. Mosquitoes!

BTW, I am 84 yrs young, health handicapped woman who loves to golf (solo or "new friends") and traveling around the world to play amazing beautiful golf parks.

Bad experience

First, if you are not aware, it is a long distance to the pro shop, a cart takes us there, then we take a cart and go to the golf course which is far away. Allow time.

We were very disappointed because they forced us to have a caddy with us, without warning.

It’s not mentioned on their website. Additional $70 for Caddy.

The caddy did not speak English and hung on to our cart without introducing himself, I could not understand anything he was saying.

Excellent golf in Nuevo Vallarta area!

Vacation rounds at Vidanta and played both the Greg Norman and Nayar courses. Nayar was definitely the easier of the 2 with a more "resort style" feel on the layout and scenery.

Highly recommend grabbing a round on Golf Now as pricing for a hot deal was exceptional!

Caddy is required and absolutely necessary to be able to navigate the property acreage at Vidanta... we had Luis our first round and requested him again for our second :)

Our only "issue" was the lack of amenities on the course - restrooms, water stations, and frequency of the beverage cart for snacks and refills :)
