MUST PLAY

15 annual trip to PV. We always play El Tigra. We had a day open to play another course and decided to Play Vidanta Vallarta Norman course. After playing the Norman course we cancelled the remaining tee times at El Tigra and booked more times at Vidanta. THAT'S how good it is.

The course was in great shape. They are getting ready for another Tour event in February. Greens were Verti-cutted and top-dressed with sand the prior week but Maintenance had them rolling about a 10. Very true, perfect condition. Our forecaddie Arteo "ARTIE" was the best. He can read greens and will keep you out of trouble. Highly recommend getting him as your caddie.

Only reason for 4 STARS is they had some of the tee boxes closed for play because of the upcoming Tour event. Would have been nice to move to the tips.

Long, Forgiving Course

The Norman course is a good resort course that primarily challenges you with length and bunker placement rather than layout. Fairways are generous while the greens are traditional with gentle swales and undulations.

Conditions were excellent when I played as they are preparing the course for the México Open in February. Some tee blocks are closed so not all holes are playing to the full length.

Our caddy Angel was excellent with his advice, and at keeping us on pace. He kept us out of reach of the crocodrilos!

Excellent layout, not up to prior standards

We played the Norman course at Vidanta several times during our visit to the area. They are getting ready for the PGA tour in 2024 so there are multiple tee boxes that they are not using and all guests tee off from the forward tee. So the course is much shorter than it should be. The condition when we played last year was better. Pace of play varied from very good to very poor. One round was over 5 hours. I complained but received no response. It is an excellent layout, caddies are great but there should be a discount because of the shortened length.

Pretty course

Great course but the road in is currently being rebuilt and access is very rough. Beautiful golf course and we pretty well had it to ourselves.

Very overpriced

Facilities- there is a driving range but no practice green or bunkers. No place to have a drink and something to eat afterward.

Pro shop - wildly overpriced! We saw ladies tops that were $80 Canadian in our pro shop at home last season and they were $180! Needless to say, we didn’t shop. And I’m a shopper.
