The Nicklaus Design Course at Vidanta Puerto Penasco

The course is very challenging and the setting is beautiful. The Sea of Cortez makes it hard to concentrate on shots along the water and it’s essential to “plot” your way along the other holes, but definitely worth the effort.

The only negative thing I can say is that the bathrooms on the course (although beautiful) are not functioning. The toilets don’t always flush.

It is an amazing golf course, in excellent condition, incredible views, friendly staff, totally worth it. If you plan to be on Puerto Peñasco this is the golf course to play

I have often called Vidanta in Puerto Peńasco a the best kept secret in golf. This stunning 18 hole championship golf course is simply the best $50 you will spend on golf. Spectacular ocean front hikes and Mountain View’s nestled between desert landscapes and a luxury Hotel resort put this course in my top 5, all time best!

The staff is amazing! Angelica in the pro shop(inside the hotel lobby) always greets with a smile and friendly conversation. She is always a pleasure and I look forward to seeing her each time I visit.

The outside service staff are the best in the business!! Charlie, Randy, Sergio, and Humberto are always there to greet me when I arrive, quick with a round of beers on the course, and always a cool towel at the end of each round. I can’t say enough about this group of gentleman. Absolute pros!!

I will see you all again in September when I return😎

Great layout, holes near the gulf. Great condition as always.

Great location for a course with beach views throughout. Super deep rough and thick brush left little room for error. Grounds crew was mowing during our round so there were clippings pulled up all over but we managed. Still an excellent outing.

The course was not at all busy probably due to a storm system moving through. Did get a bit wet at the beginning but nothing to impact the round. The course is in very good shape with the exceptions of the greens. They were in very good shape but extremely SLOW. Like maybe 9 on the Stimp Meter. Could have been slower. If they could get the greens to 10.5 it would be much nicer.

The views of Gulf of California are absolutely amazing. Course is in great shape. I played 3 times during my stay and if the wind is blowing, add another 300 to 400 yards off the whites. Few holes are with the wind and it blows off the Gulf hard. Played a day with no wind and it was night and day. Well worth the trip. You have to check in at the hotel lobby before driving to the course. Probably shop isn't finished yet.

This course is fantastic, LONG, challenging, and so much fun. Fantastic weather, but I do wish there were other things nearby to experience. This place is an island surrounded by sand dunes. Beautifu, but all alone

The layout and design on the sea of California is a good course. However, the condition and how the course was manicured was really sub standard. The staff was not very accommodating & there was no club house @ the course. Won’t be back!

Booked on the App. For 2 of us and was quoted a total of $230 US for green fees.

At checkin we were charged $370 US.

Course was great but this was my first booking through the App. Was very dissapointing.

10/10 in every way. It will beat you up if you play from the wrong tee box but always a special time out here. A $300 value round for $100 is unreal

The course has a very nice and challenging layout. The ocean views are added bonus for sure. The condition is good, few greens could use more upkeep, but nothing major. The driving range is very good. They have a beverage cart however we would prefer a Hole 19 cantina to have a lunch or a snack afterwards. It is not always convincente to drive back to the hotel and use one of their restaurants. We do recommend the course.

Las Palomas Golf Course is easily as good, if not better, for way less money. This place was absolutely not worth the 40 minute drive. You have to go into the main resort to pay, and then you drive a mile to the course.

Greens, fairways, rough, and bunkers were good...nothing special, though. Pace of play was garbage and no marshal...only 4 groups in front of us and we teed off at 830. 4 1/2+ hour round.

No GPS on the carts, no course map, no course layout/yardage book, course isn't on any apps or GPS. There are a lot of blind shots, and plenty of gimmicky crud, so not having a clue where to hit the ball half the time was stupid. If you spray a few shots here and there you will lose balls.
