The Nicklaus Design Course at Vidanta Puerto Penasco

The course is a hidden gem. Absolutely beautiful course with ocean views on numerous holes. Fun for all skill levels with the back tees 7200 yards. Don’t go to the Puerto Penasco area without playing this course!!!

What a wonderful morning for a round of golf. Just a heads up, still go to the Mayan Palace for the pro shop. The clubhouse was still under construction. Course was in immaculate shape. Couple of spots in the fairways were soggy but the fairways and greens were awesome.

Was on hole 10 and was low on seed/sand. Alerted one of the grounds crew and by hole 12, there was already someone bringing another one. A+ service.

Everytime I go to Rocky Point, I play it. Haven't been disappointed. 🇲🇽

It’s out of the way but well worth the trip. Maybe the best layout I’ve ever played. Challenging with the windy conditions but fun making shots . Greens have a lot of slope and we’re in excellent condition. Beautiful views along the water. You really don’t see any other holes except the one you are playing. Wildlife was abundant. Staff was so nice. I’d play this wver day if I could.

Great staff, great course, beautiful views and weather. Looking forward to the next time.

The course is awesome and very well kept. Holes are very long and a few of them are difficult. Greens are very fast and challenging. If you over putt you are off the green and down the hill since a lot of greens are elevated. Overall the course is very fun and the scenic views don’t get much better. Many holes right along the beach!

Always a pleasure paying a Jack Nicklaus signature course

Challenging, great condition, firm fast greens, generous landing areas off tee boxes.
Food at the turn VERY expensive! 2 margaritas, 1 hot dog, and 1 hamburger was $63 US

Second time playing this course and it was in fantastic shape, lush fairways and excellent greens. The golf now deals save you 50% over regular rates. They did have a 6 some on the course the day I played that slowed the pace but otherwise course never seems to be crowded.
The clubhouse is not yet completed so you do need to check in at the resort hotel. A MUST play in PP. The course in Puerto Penasco (Sandy Beach) looked to be in bad shape with dead fairways so this is the best option for 18 holes.

Every time I play here I enjoy it. Great shape and greens were perfect. Will be back soon!

You won’t be disappointed in this gem of a course. Challenging and beautiful. Outstanding staff made the visit even more memorable.

A beautiful course, with a challenging layout. Certainly this course rewards being in the fairway. So many great tee shots and the ocean views from the greens, don’t make a bad putt feel so bad.
I would recommend this course to any visitors in Puerto Penasco. Stop at one of the Mayan hotel restaurants and the pool after your round.

Was only were able to play the front nine. The back nine was closed due to maintenance. I didn't know this until I checked in. The staff insisted that it said it when I booked but I went back and looked and it didn't say anything about it. Not that big of a deal I played the front nine twice, if I had known I would of went on a different day or chose a different course. They also don't offer any food options while you are out there. It was a slow pace, over 5 hours due to them allowing a group of ten to play together in front of us. Some type of lunch options would have been nice to have.

No heads up that there were only 9 holes open. Security entrance did not advice that check in was in the hotel lobby. Drove all the way to golf course to find out that I needed to check in at hotel lobby..

Played there about 5 years ago and the road to get to the course was still in horrible conditions. You need an SUV to navigate the road

The ocean views are tremendous. The course was in immaculate condition. Every green was in top notch shape. The paspalum greens were so plush I had to touch it to see if it was real grass. To play this type of course in the U.S. you are going to pay well over $500.00 a round. Staff was excellent and added to the wonderful experience. We will play this course again without hesitation. The course obviously was designed with the ocean winds taken into consideration, which played into my course management while playing.
