Vidanta Riviera Maya

Have played this course since 2016. Conditions vary depending on time of year, but generally very good. Some sand traps are a little pr boy but most are in great shape. From the black tees the course is a great challenge. The layout is beautiful. Lots of water and traps. Excellent landing areas to practice your short game. Staff Are very friendly. Book on golf now to get a good rate.

Drawbacks - you may run in to non-golfer tourists in flip flops - it’s a resort course.

Not very often you will find a par 3 that challenges a regular golfer. This course was a real surprise. It is like a full size course shrunk down, all the challenges remain. A great layout, lots of water and wildlife. I’d recommend this course to any one at any skill level

Jack Nicklaus created a wonderful course. There is major water on 3/4 of the course with little relaxation between the toughness. Bogies are very doable pars less so and birdies few. For a par three there were several drivable holes with lots of wind in the face. Risk/Reward is present in much of the course. I played after a day of hard rain which made the sand traps eroded and packed. They should have been racked. Overall it was a very enjoyable 18.

Wife and I just played this 3 par. Very fun and relaxing. Don't be fooled by a 3 par. This course is challenging, with a lot of water hazards and traps. Hint, bring plenty of balls...

I didn’t notice when booking tee time it was all par 3, 54 par course anyway it is beautiful and challenging so we had a good time the course have a good layout, friendly staff and good installations

Don’t be fooled when you see par three course. This thing is anything but easy. Requires that you come off the box straight. Your judgment of distance is thrown off by the multilevel greens and the ominous bunkers. Water covered many of the holes and threatens your shot. Course is well-maintained and the low-lying jungle Rob’s or #BAL if you happen to go in it. Definitely on my list to come back

Such a great value finding this course on GolfNow.... rented clubs but not real impressed with the selection. The course was well laid out. All pat threes but don’t be fooled this course is very challenging with its sand and water hazards.

Totally enjoyed my experience and would definitely return.

We have played this course 5 time over the past 5 months. It was pristine in November, and good in early March. This past week presented some challenges with very dry conditions and brown tee boxes and struggling greens. They closed the front 9 to aerate the greens today and were watering heavily. With the upcoming rainy season I expect it to be back in form soon. The beverage cart service has been spotty on our last couple outings, best to stock up when you start your round,, if that is important to you. it is a beautifully designed course and a pleasure to play, just struggling a little now. No doubt that conditions will improve soon.

It's a very interesting layout with lots of variety. The course was near empty so we played 18 in about 2.5 hours.

Greens were fast and true and held well.

Would play again.

Course was not as manicured as I would have expected for the Vidanta resort, I guess that's reflected in the affordable price..

Was fun to play an 18 hole par 3 with my wife and young daughter.

Parking set up was poor and confusing upon entry as where to park, it was not marked. Parked in the rental car lot (it says rental cars only) but that's where the 3rd attendant told me to park, and then had to walk with our clubs over to wait for a shuttle. My wife said she wouldn't go there again for that reason.

The 278 yard hole was fun.

Well worth the effort. Mr. Nicholas has created a challenge in a par three that isn’t available elsewhere.

This course is fun and challenging to play. Offers even a great golfer the opportunity to feel challenged. Definitely some very difficult holes. A wonderful golf experience. Well kept. Good service. Something a little different. For a par three course it is totally beyond expectations.

Course construction makes each hole a challenge to play. Wind conditions, layout of the greens, and pin position continue to make this an enjoyable and entertaining golf course to play.

Don’t usually golf on par 3 courses but this was my fifth time. This is one tough little course when the wind is blowing. If you are a hacker take lots of balls or by used from pro shop for $12 US per dozen. Rental clubs were titleist ap1.

Great par 3. Greens could be a little nicer but didn’t take away from experience. Paid $45 on a hot deal. Staff was great.

Will golf here again

Wonderful and imaginative Course makes you work to save par

Friendly staff plenty of wildlife around you as you play will definitely return my next trip back to this area.

I have played this par 3 course several times. It’s a great value if you’re able to get a ‘hot deal’ ($38-$45). If paying full price ($105) it is a bit pricey. The only disadvantage of using GolfNow is that they do not allow outside taxi/transportation to drop you off at the course, but instead a lobby area. You wait 10-15 minutes for their shuttle to take you to the course.

The course is always in good shape. There’s a good variety of wedges, short, and mid iron tee shots, but mostly wedges and short irons. This is the busiest I have ever seen the course and we still got done in 2.5 hours.

Great par 3 challenging and very enjoyable. Played with the wife. Lots of water and sand to add to the challenge. We loved this course and planned to golf again. If you want to challenge your par 3 play. This is the course
