Nice course
Course is beautiful and forgiving. Definitely would not be able to navigate from hole to hole without a caddy. Somome complained in another reviewer about 2 holes being 15 minutes away? I believe they are talking about holes 6 and 7? More like 5 minutes.
Incredible
Fantastic Golf. World class facility and the caddies are very good. Not annoying to have with you at all. Conditions were great. Zero complaints except my score
Fun day of golf
Yes, there are some goofy aspects to this course as some other reviewers have noted. In particular: takes a long time to through the resort and to the course, long drives between some holes (nice break and a breeze though through beautiful grounds), and the layout is odd at times (400 yard par 5?). However, the course was in great shape, caddy (Gabriel) was awesome (good jokes, shaved a few strokes off my round thanks to his reads of the greens) and the course was fun to play. Pace of play was about 4 hour 30 minutes.
Will be back next time I am in town for sure.
Nayar is good value
Played this track now 3 times and is one of the courses in the area to play of course
Nayar course VALLARTA
This course is pretty reasonable for a Mexican course for quality. One thing that Golf Now does not do for subscribers is post or advise on quality like "greens have been recently punched so sanded and slow" or things like "cart path only all holes". This course was ok for carts but 9 holes were punched. The course did not advise on check in either. I had a similar experience in Palm Desert.
The course is challenging enough. The layout is weird now as the PGA has demanded some hole changes for an scheduled Tour event. This has created weird configurations and lots of driving to holes. The course does not flow and there are different design concepts between front and back holes.
Disappointed
Very confusing layout. We had to drive almost 15 minutes to a remote area just to play 2 holes and then back the same distance to resume play. Our garmin watches could not locate some of the holes because they were played out of sequence. Some of the greens had just been aerated and we weren’t notified or offered a discount like most courses do. The cab ride was almonds 25 o/o more on the return trip home with no option.
Vidanta Nayar Course
Nice course over all. Very very spread out. Not a good walking option.
Great Course
Unfortunately the back 9 was closed so I played the front 9 twice. Was happy with the course and my caddie was awesome (thanks Hector). I had a little trouble finding the entrance to the course. Give yourself extra time as it's a 2 km drive from the entrance and then you need to be shuttled to the pro shop and then take the cart another 10 min to the course.
Course closed front 9 without notifying me
First off, the good. Caddie Manny was amazing, great personality and extremely knowledgable about the course. Staff was great from check-in to completion.
The bad, the course closed the front 9. Did not notify myself of these changes and this closure caused a 5+ hour round. The slow pace of play caused by poor management of the facilities was a bit of a let down. As previously noted, great staff but administration dropped the ball.
Expensive
Course overall was in good shape. Staff friendly, but high tips are expected. Not good value for your money
Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta Nayar Golf Course
Excellent track with outstanding caddies. Play in California 200x a year and found this track really special.
Definitely will play again soon!
Endless travel between holes
Long cart distance between some holes, caddy mandatory..... to find our way on the course between the holes more then helping us with our game.
Enjoy a beautiful golf round
Lovely golf round with caddie Ignacio, who helped me to considerably better my score. Enjoyed some nice pars, suffered a bit in the bunkers, all in all a lovely golf afternoon. Can't wait to be back
Lovely golf round
A lovely round with caddie Ignacio. Was happy about some nice pars, the fairways in excellent shape, greens bit quick for me, bunker tough, all in all an excellent golf day. Resort shuttle fast and pro shop staff very friendly. Can't wait for the next round on Friday.
