Beautiful golf course

It was a beautiful afternoon on the course. Hugo was an exceptional caddie and had a wonderful sense of humour.

Pace was slow but we were there to enjoy the moment.

Lovely

Beautiful course, good layout and lots of room off the tee. The caddy was great, good company but i will say this. I like to read my own putts. I like other choices off the tee rather than driver every time, it dramatically affected my round. I dont know if i ever saw what the yardages were on most par 4s, my fault i know. The only real downside is that if your playing as a non guest, it takes forever to get to the range and course. Still was a great time though

Very nice course!

The course was in great condition. Some tee boxes were moved to let the course get ready for the Mexican Open in February. But it did not matter, the open tee boxes were immaculate.

Francisco (Pancho), my caddie, made the round so much fun and he really helped by guiding me around a course and the greens that I had never played before. He made the whole experience worth it! Thanks, Pancho!

Muy buen campo

El campo en general está excelente, lo único malo es que me tocaron los greenes picados, pero es parte del día a día del golf.

Pero en general todo excelente.

Perfect course!

Visited PV for the week and played this course with 3 buddies.

Wasn’t sure what to think but figured with it being home to the Mexican Open, it had to be at least decent.

It didn’t disappoint!

Grounds for resort were beautiful and the course was in epic shape(we played the Norman Course).

Caddy, Maxwell, was really helpful and knowledgeable.

All and all, I would 100% play here again, every day of my vacation if time allowed.

Don’t miss out, play this course

Not Worth It- Overrated

Really wanted to like this course. Was expecting so much more from a course on PGA Tour. I was hoping to take a picture of scenic holes and didn’t find any. Course is flat and uneventful. No signature holes, no holes along the ocean, nothing noteworthy at all, not even a water feature on the course. Totally overrated. Vidanta requires to have and pay for a caddie. The caddie I was assigned had absolutely no clue what he was doing. Claimed he was a 30 handicap and it showed he didn’t know how to play golf. Said he was taught by his father who never played golf. He would give yardages while sitting in a cart no where close to your ball. Luckily I brought my own rangefinder since he was off by 5-8 yards on most shots. Wouldn’t even walk up to the tee box. His reads on putts would be so off that the putt would literally break in the opposite direction than his read. After the second hole I stopped listening to him. His only contribution was directing us in the maze of cart paths that led to the next tee box.

Bottom line, it seems like Vidanta uses the course as an incentive to get people to sit through time share presentations and do not know how to run a golf course. Don’t even have a bar and grill at the clubhouse. Had to take a shuttle cart to get a beer afterwards. Don’t waste your time and money on this course. Played Oct 2023.
