Great course

Course was in excellent condition with the exception of the greens. They had recently been sanded so bumpy and slow. I know they have the PGA event in a month so they are prepping for that. I'd definitely come play it again, however I wouldn't pay $250+ for green fees. Tee off was the best deal at around 125. Caddy was super helpful and a lot of fun.

Playing with the Pros!

An excellent opportunity to play a course that will be played by best players in Mexico and the world.

All aspects of the course are excellent. Scenic, beautifully groomed and challenging.

For people with walking difficulties it is tough as it is cart path only.

A worthwhile experience!

Loved it

Played the course twice this week and felt much more comfortable the second time around. It's cart path only because of the upcoming Mexico Open (end of April) but the plus-side is that the course is in outstanding condition. The course is quite flat with only modest terrain change but in the afternoon sun it can get tiring if you are hitting it where the cart can't go. Having a caddy (mandatory, one per foursome) certainly helped a few times in that regard. Whites at 6300 (par 73) were ample for me (10 hcp); the folks who I played with who took on the blues at 6800 (10+ hcps) struggled, especially as the wind came up into the afternoon (as it does). The course has a little of everything: short, medium and long par 3s; a good mix of par 4s (including a very driveable one) and six par 5s, including a couple of monsters on the back 9, If you're staying on site at Vidanta it's easy to check in and store your clubs overnight. I imagine it's a lot trickier if you are coming from off-site. The facilities are great, the staff was very friendly and every caddy I had over the week (4) was very helpful.

Vidanta Norman before the Mexico Open

Wanted to play Vidanta Norman as they ready it for the Mexico Open April 24-27. While it was in pretty good shape, the greens were sanded and far slower than usual, and it was cart path only (something the staff failed to mention when I called in advance to ask about restrictions). Fairways are excellent, sand traps were very heavy (different from previous experience). Our caddy Ramiro successfully negotiated us passing the foursome in front of us on hole 4, who were basically non-golfers playing a scramble (on hole #1 one of their group even walked 80 yards back from the green down the fairway to take my ball while we were hitting our tee shots). Once past them, it was clear sailing, with nobody in front. In hindsight it will probably be better to play right after the Open to experience the best condition. Regardless, a great day.

Exceeded Expectations

Course was fantastic and staff were extremely friendly. Some helpful hints if it’s your first time playing

1. Give yourself extra time to get to the course. Taxi will drop you off and you will need to catch a shuttle to the Proshop (ride is about 10 minutes). Once you check in you will be assigned a caddie who will direct you to the driving range. This is another 5ish minute cart ride. We arrived early and as the course was slow, we were able to tee off early

2. Proshop does not accept cash

3. If you are not staying at Vidanta, one person in your taxi will have to leave a government piece of ID at the security gate. On your way out, make sure to let your taxi driver know you have to pick this up or they will drive right past.

4. Use an internet extension to search for discounts on your your tee time.

Fun golf course. Watch for the crocs

Played from the blue tees as a 12 handicap. Thought the course was pretty fair. It was cart path only since they were 2 months away from the Mexico open but I got to play the round for $100 through GolfNow as a single.
