Great afternoon for some golf

It was a beautiful afternoon, a nice breeze blew all afternoon making the heat tolerable.

The course is beautiful! Fairways are plush, traps are soft but the greens are still recovering from being recently punched. They were bumpy and made for some very disappointing putting.

My caddie, Polo was great and kept me from biting off more than I could chew. We had a great afternoon, played 18 in just over 3hrs. There wasn't many people on the course. I was also disappointed that the beverage cart never showed up!

A bit pricey but a beautiful course to enjoy. I only wish the greens were in better shape.

Perfectly manicured course!

I played this course with one other person August ‘23 and it exceeded both our expectations in terms of the course conditions, layout, caddie and amenities. The course is home to the Mexico Open and is kept in immaculate condition. Caddie’s are mandatory, which we were hesitate about, but it proved to be a great decision as the layout of the course and resort itself is difficult to navigate unless you know where you’re going. Our caddie Romeo (I believe I spelled it correctly) was super helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. He helped keep the pace of play and broke down the approach to each shot.

Only down sides was the cart girl didn’t reach us until hole 10 and there were no clubhouses or break rooms along the course.

Overall, would highly recommend to anyone in the PVR area.

Very expensive, but next level

Some background - I am a novice golfer who is new to the sport, happy to break 100 most days. This is my first time playing a golf course featured on the PGA tour. It was, by far, the nicest golf course I’ve ever played. The layout was great, a lot of risk/reward options, and creativity. Multiple island greens for par 3 play, and one really interesting feature with a large island featuring a par 5 on one side, and a short part 4 on the other.

Of course, the cost is very high, and there are some hidden fees. I played this course in early August, which was not a busy time. I still paid $180 for the tee time, $56 for club rental, and my partner and I had a mandatory caddy which we shared for $40 plus tip. My caddy Hector was very helpful and encouraging. It was my first time playing with a caddy, I have no idea whether this fee was high or low.

The other difficult aspect was actually getting to the course from a different hotel. It was a short drive to the front of the resort, but be warned that there is another 10 minutes of driving to be done on resort property to a security station, a long wait for a golf cart ride from there to the pro shop, and a labyrinthine ride from there to the driving range and first hole. All told, we were told to expect a 45 minute commute, which might make an early tee time difficult, especially if you want to spend some time at the driving range beforehand.

But it was still a very memorable vacation experience. If you want top level golf in PVMX, this is definitely it.

Great course

Nice layout. Not too hard, not too easy. Played in the afternoon and nobody out there but me and Jose my caddy. He was good, but I was unaware it was mandatory with a 400 peso fee. It’s a bit much when playing alone, be nice if they would have put me with someone to split the fee. Overall would play again. Very fast and fun round

Punched Greens No Heads up

Overall beautiful place, I played at 2p and saw one other cart the entire round. Finished in less than 3.5 hours. Caddy Pablo was great and helpful. No heads up on punched greens and man were they rough. Would play a different course next time. Takes a while to get to the pro shop via cart

You should notify that the course is under maintenance and the back nine is closed at Golfnow, before making the reservation.

I was notified until I arrived to the Clubhouse

Aeration blues

I booked on Golfnow.Com. I didn’t see any mention while booking that the course was recently aerated and that only the front nine was available. I still enjoyed the course and really was happy with my caddie Elisio.
