Enjoyed the course

Very structured experience, starting with security,then waiting for a tram and a long ride to the pro shop,then waiting in a que to check in, 5 registers but 1 or 2 open. Then outside to wait for help to the driving range,10 minutes,picked up my $65 rental clubs, off to the range,and hit 20 balls, then was paired with 2 guys and a caddie (Raul),good experienced caddie. Course was in very good condition, especially 2 days after the PGA Mexico Open. Just not a country club like experience (oh we also need a wristband).

Disappointing day

When we arrived there were no caddies or carts. We were

Driven to the range to wait for our cart, the driver expected a tip for this. We started the game without a caddy, and he joined us along the way. At the end we asked the caddy where to get a beer (20 year employee) and he stated there was nowhere to get a drink. We asked i side the clubhouse and were told that maybe we could flag down a cart girl. The starter then told us that if we walk around back of the building, there is a lovely pool bar. Talk about misinformed staff.

Mexican vacation golf

Course was in great shape and would highly recommend for all levels of golfer. Greens were very good and putted true and quick. Fairways and tees were also excellent. Required caddie Louis was very helpful and provided good advice. Pace was a little slow but course and weather were so nice it wasn’t a big negative. Will definitely play again and highly recommend.

Vidanta Norman must play

Course was in great shape and very nice layout. Mexican Open was a week ago so a little left over grandstand but did not interfere with play. Price was very good and caddie Artie was super helpful and made round very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend. Plan on arriving early as a lot of shuttle time between entry, driving range, pro shop and taxi departure. Will definitely play again. Greens and fairways were excellent and rough thick.

Our tee off time was 210 and we quit after 11 holes and it took us over three hours to get to that point. It appears that they had totally jammed the tee sheet so it was impossible to get 18 holes in. Our caddy was really good, however, we weren’t appraised that we need to have a caddy We’re not clear what to pay, etc. It takes forever to get into the Resort pro shop and we would never play it again

Logistics not at the level expected for Vidanta

Course is spotless, amazing conditions of play, fast and hard green, what we expect from a pro course.

Caddie Jose, great job and friendly.

Logistics? Terrible. As if it was the first time they had seen golfers. Took an hour to get to the range. And at least 30 minutes to get a cart for our tee time. Delayed tee off by at least 20-30 minutes.

Pace of play 5 hours, far too long.

You would expect a well oiled machine when you see the Vidanta brand. Not the case.

They are lucky they have great courses, they need to improve on the logistics. Was the same experience few months back

Not sure what has happened…

The last few times I’ve played here there is mass confusion at the starter. i’ve been delayed by an hour or more, “no carts” is the message. Be prepared to start late and play slow. It used to be way better. Course is in great condition.
