Nice Course

A very nice course. Kinda interesting getting to the course. You get a taxi to a staging area then wait for a shuttle to the golf shop. Staff at golf shop and course more friendly then the arrival staff. We had a deal on From Golf Now and am happy since the greens were recently aerated and sanded. Nice wildlife as we saw a huge crocodile about 10 feet below a pedestrian bridge.

Bait and Switch

We booked a round for two at Vidante - unfortunately, we were disappointed and did not feel like we got what we paid for. We booked two weeks in advance, but when we got to the course to check in, we were told that the front 9 was closed for irrigation, and that we would have to play the back 9 twice. Paying over $200 per person, this was very frustrating, as we'd booked through GN and had communication directly with the course, it was never mentioned that we would not be able to pay the full 18.

Secondly, getting to the course itself is challenging. I highly recommend arriving at least an hour before your tee time - you need to make two different stops and have a golf cart called to take you to the clubhouse before you can check in. Getting out was just as difficult and time consuming.

Overall, it would be difficult to justify playing again. Staff was friendly, caddie was hilarious, course condition was immaculate, but the actual experience was less than ideal.

Great layout.

Everything about this course was great. The staff was warm and friendly and attentive. From the moment I arrived every team member was welcoming. The course conditions were excellent, even with the greens being punched a week ago(which I was aware of) the rolled true, albeit a little slow. Angle was our caddie and he was fantastic. Great at giving the proper reads on the greens to selecting the correct club for the 20+ mph winds all afternoon. Absolutely would play this course again.

Great experience despite below expectations course conditions

Had a great experience playing. It was my first time playing with a caddie. My caddie was both helpful with the course management and added fun to the round. The course layout was unique and fun, with sightings of crocodiles and iguanas. The only thing that didn’t meet my expectations of a top tier course was the conditions. There were more brown spots on tees and fairways than I expected.

Greens have been plugged and back 9 closed.

Have played this course in the past. Really nice course usually. We got a hot deal that turned out to be so hot. Greens had recently been plugged and the back 9 was closed so we played front twice.

Wish we would have know course condition before booking.

Vidanta/Nayarit

It was an amazing experience due to the caddy named Carlos. He new the course very well and chose the right clubs for each hole with helpful tips. It was a bummer the front nine was under construction and we didn't get to play it.

Plan to be there at least 3 hrs before your flight... Tee time

Staff and course are great the only inconvenient is that to get to the 1st Tee box it might take you a couple of hours and patience because distance and shuttle are not quick.

For the rest, it was a blast with the great support of our caddy, pro shop staff, golf range and The Golf course.

It is a most if you are in the area.

Front 9 closed!!!

I booked this few days before, I also called a day in advance to book a junior rate, I arrived and right after I paid for my son I come out from the proshop and they told me the front is closed for aerification and I could only play the back 9 twice…. The course was in very nice shape but I can’t believe there is a PGA tour event there, it is just too flat, felt like playing a public course in texas in excellent shape, almost all lies flat, no dunes, very simple, I thought the Gregg Norman name was going to make it very special. I think probably the course from the four seasons is going to be better for the money.

Nice course to play if in the area

Fun course was in great condition. Caddie is mandatory, but a good one is worth the 400 pesos.

Beware

Played the Vidanta Course and Nayar course 3x while staying on property. If you can actually get to the course, I applaud you. The course says they will pick you up at your building and take you to course. Cart never came for our 3 rounds. We paid a maintenance guy to take us day 1 and road in the back of a caged off cart to get there. Once there, you are greeted by the most unfriendly starters I have ever experienced who offer no help. Prices at the course are over $150-$200 more than advertised online. The courses are extremely nice and I enjoyed them. The last day we didnt even get to tee off because they were letting 6somes go off and we waited on the tee box for 20 minutes to tee off before we finally left as the 6some just cruised around the fairway the entire time. The course only offered a rain check for a date we were leaving. And didnt even let us play the par 3 or the simulators as a consolation. Diego and Francisco (caddies) were excellent caddies and they honestly should be running the place. Will not return to play this place. Others also complained about pace of play, rudeness, and inefficiency of getting to cars/buildings.
