Vidanta Vallarta Course at Vidanta Nuevo Nayarit-Vallarta

Didnt tell you was cart path only, 4 groups on one hole ,caddy showed up on 4th hole. Course in good shape and great group of guys I got paired up with just too bad with lack of communication.

Didn’t get a caddie until the 4th hole.

Super unorganized today. I have played numerous times here before and it was the worst I have experienced. Caddie was unfriendly and didn’t provide any decent reads or feedback.

I have had caddies here before and they have been great. Didn’t enjoy the round today. Will try again but today was a let down

The PGA Mexico Open will be played here end of April. The course was magnificent and will only get better as we approach the open. Caddie was spectacular. This course is nestled in the grand Vidanta complex. Allow plenty of time to explore the grounds before and after. They even have a par 3 course that is beautifully light at night. Didn’t play the par 3 but will next time we go. If you go afternoon the green fees are more reasonable. Had a great time and will go back!!

This is the third time in two years we have played this course. Each time the course layout has been different. The first and second time various portions of the course were under construction in preparation for the Mexico Open, and the golf experience was poor. We returned this year expecting these issues to be resolved, only to find many of the same issues.

- the course layout has been altered once again

- it was cart path only for 17 of 18 holes (one hole had to be crossed to continue play)

- practically all fairways and greens had been sanded, affecting play

- there was no advance information as to course condition

- despite reservations last year and this that should have enabled us to play all 27 holes, there are still 2 holes we have yet to play

- shuttle service to get out to the course, and then back to the parking area, was inadequate and cumbersome

- there was no area at the main clubhouse for food and beverage while we waited for our tee time

On a positive note, we had a great caddy!

This is a course that is still under development. It should not be presenting itself as anything else. While we paid a special rate, it certainly should not be charging full green fees at any time, and course management should be honest about the condition and layout in advance of booking. Further, if it is going to cater to golfers from outside the facility, it needs to sharpen up it's process to move people from parking area to clubhouse and return. On the day we played, it was an hour in one direction and almost that on return.

Golf courses in general in Puerto Vallarta area are overpriced Vidanta is a rip-off.

Had a blast playing this course. Fairways and greens were beautiful. Was quite challenging with all the bunkers, water and waste areas. Caddie was friendly and helpful. Really happy we chose this course while we were on our trip.

The coarse was in great shape and the greens rolled fast and true. They were prepping the coarse for the upcoming open so the tees were limited and repairing the fairways. Cartpath only. I am playing 2 more rounds there before we leave. Great value!

Make sure to be at least an hour early.

We arrived for our 12:40 team about an hour early. I had to leave ID card with security. We waited about 25 minutes for a ride to the clubhouse. There were no golf carts available. We were asked to drive a cart to the range for other golfers to use! After about 15 minutes some other people arrived driving a cart for us. Not a great system. We teed off 25 minutes late and experienced a 5 hour round.

All that aside, the course was great, very good condition. The caddy we had was great! Please fix the transportation issues!

Very nice course/facility. However, a little disappointed with the slow speed of the greens (7?)

We had to wait... they had no carts available.

We teed off 20 minutes lates.

Caddy are mandatory , they don't do much ( we don't need anyway ) and he arrived at the third hole !

You will know the price at the end , and it will not be enough anyway.

Course condition is great . People are nice but somehow useless .

Taxi ride of this resort is a challenge.

I’ve played the Norman course at Vidanta twice now and it is the best. They are getting ready for the Mexican Open so lots of work being done. The fairways are wide and the greens are in great shape. Our caddie, Francisco, was great. Very helpful on the greens and well worth the $500 pesos I gave him. I plan to play there as often as possible especially with the $100 or less Golf Now Hot Deal. Highly recommended.

Course is good and I can recommend. However, it was cart paths only as they were preserving the course for the Mexico Open in April.

Pace of play was slow, but so what, the weather was perfect and I wasn't at home in 20 degree weather.

Mandatory caddie is kind of annoying, although the caddie was pleasant enough. Kind of a make work situation if you ask me. I could have done without the caddie. Added to cost of play.

Overall a good experience, although cost was high.

Very large croc in pond at #9!

Beautiful course with some of the best views. Based on reviews, I was unsure if I should book a tee time here but my colleague told me it was one of the top 3 courses he has ever played.

To help others here are a few key points from a amateur golfer.

- if booked on Golf now, it would be a good idea to call and confirm your reservation 24 hours prior to tee time

- allow yourself 1-1/2 - 2 hours before tee time. Once you arrive, it takes some time to get you checked in.

- rental clubs were titliest and I received a nice variety as I was scared based on the reviews. Driver, 3 wood, irons 4-9, PW, 48, 52 & 56 degrees, putter and 4 hybrid. $60 rental cost

- as of 2/6, the course is cart path only but it wasn’t horrible.

- you are assigned a caddy and I would definitely recommend Mr. Felix. He was first class and even offered what I would call, free lessons. I honestly felt because of Felix, I shot my best round to date. There is a $14 charge and you must play with a caddy.

- last but not least, if you want your significant other to tag along, it’s a $50 extra charge. Although I didn’t agree, my wife loved and enjoyed every moment, therefore it was worth it. BTW- this was her first time to be on a course with me..

Enjoy your time, the course was beautiful, from your ride over the long suspension bridge, warm up driving range, clean air conditioned bathrooms, some of the best margaritas, seeing crocodiles and iguanas , I highly recommend.
