Vidanta Vallarta Course at Vidanta Nuevo Nayarit-Vallarta

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.

The course will host the Mexico Open PGA tournament next month, and it is in superb condition

I just loved the golf round today with caddie Javier, pretty nice shots first nine, beautiful course, beautiful views. The entire staff at proshop very friendly and the shuttle very fast. Love it and hopefully I'll be back.

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.

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!
