Vidanta Vallarta Course at Vidanta Nuevo Nayarit-Vallarta

This course is the best option in the Puerto Vallarta area. It will host a PGA Tour event in. Few weeks, and the pros will absolutely go crazy low on it. The only defense is wind, since the fairways are wide and there is no rough.

While the course is very good, it is nightmarish getting started. It is within a “vacation resort,” and your arrival takes you to what feels like a Disneyland ride. You wait as shuttle after shuttle passes by going to specific hotels/condos/attractions. One is for the pro shop, and it took more than 30 minutes for it to arrive. At the pro shop, after checking in, you must wait again to be shuttled by golf cart to whichever of the three courses you are playing and to be assigned a mandatory caddie. I had a 12:56 tee time and arrived at the property at noon. I didn’t get to the practice facility until 1:10, hit about 20 balls and no putts, then headed to the first tee.

I only mention all this because if you’re on a tight schedule or can’t roll with the flow, you might be pretty out of sorts to start your round.

I had read terrible reviews about this course but they were wrong. I’ve played lots of courses in the PV area but this was the nicest. We had a $95 Hot Deal which made it very reasonable compared to other courses in the area. They are preparing the course for a professional tournament next month and the conditions were perfect. A few traps were roped off but most had fluffy new sand and were great. The greens were in great shape also. To top it off we had one of the best caddies ever. All in all it was a wonderful day.

Would have given the conditions a 5 but there wasn’t any sand in the bunkers on about 3 or 4 holes on the back nine.

Fair to mediocre course in general. Currently a rip-off. Course is being prepared for PGA tournament, and should not be open for play ... a responsible operator would have closed this course. There is no prior advice as to course condition or circumstances. Course layout has been altered so you are not playing the course as designed, one third of hole yardage in first nine was roped off from cart use, some sand traps were empty, one hole abruptly closed to play in the middle of our round, no food or beverage services at Clubhouse, very limited cart service on course with no food selection. Overcharged and under-delivered. Have now played curse twice, and will not do so again at any price.

Fairways were more open than I was expecting. Some tough approach shots though with bunkers and water. Some bunkers were empty getting ready for the PGA tourney in April. My Garmin watch did not work as they are changing the layout for the tourney but my caddie helped make the difference

This was an adventure! From the taxi ride to the trolly shuttle ride to the golf cart ride. The round abouts and overpasses and bridges was stunning, but we hadn't even golfed. The experience was amazing. It cost a LOT of money per round, and my 12 year old daughter had to pay full price which is BRUTAL. They didn't even have a junior fee. Brutal. Our Caddy was named Milo and he was great and very helpful!

Overall nice course caddy was a little grouchy shot a 75 so a good day!

We purchased our round using Golf Now. When we arrived at the course we were joined up with caddy which we found out on our way to hole #1. We were not notified that there would be a mandatory caddy at an additional cost at the pro shop during checking in or on the Golf Now website. During our round we were notified that hole #11 was closed and that we could play 2 balls on 17 to compensate for the closure. On our way to hole #12 the par 4 was modified to be a 90 yard hole for all tees red to black. Again no mention of this at the pro shop or on Golf Now. I have played many golf courses around the world and have never been so disappointed in the lack of communication. I would not recommend this course as they appear to have no regard for their paying clients.

Greg Norman course at Vidanra was an Absolutely Wonderful Experience. Right from the Shuttle out to the Pro Shop. Get there early as it may take up to 1/2 hour to be picked up. Driving range was Awesome . Mandatory Caddie required $350 pesos , well worth it to read the greens and club choice for wind conditions. Course had many temporary hazards (Ground Under Repair) from the hurricane. Also getting ready for PGA Tournament in April.

Getting ready for the Mexican PGA. Much construction and improvements being done to accommodate the PGA in April

Enjoyed my first round at this course with a couple of friends.

Not quite complete but a mad scramble was on to get ready for a PGA event in April.

Mandatory caddy - Jesus was awesome and a lot of fun. He knows the greens!

Read the reviews about a brutal check in process- oh ya.

We were stopped off at the ‘gathering place’ 1 hour ahead of our tee time. Waited 25 minutes for a golf cart to drive us another 10 minutes to check in. 30 minutes later we drove another 10 minutes to Hole 1. No warmup, no putting. Still had fun though!

Excellent golf, fun and professional caddie. Well groomed course. Need a lounge for golfers after the game to have a drink/snack. Preferably at the pro shop area!!

If you have the opp to get Campos as your caddie, do it! He’s very knowledgeable of the course and knows how to properly read a green. Ended up with the best score I’ve ever gotten thanks to him.

My grandson and I were extremely disappointed, we were told they were running very late not enough golf carts upon arrival.

There were 4 holes that were closed for repair

The bunkers were closed as they are rebuilding them

The greens were recently aerated we were not advised of any of the course issues, which I’m shocked GolfNow was not aware of !!!

I think we should have been credited for the conditions of the course and for really taking away from my grandson and myself day together.

There are other courses that we could have played that would not have disappointing

I am truly disappointed with GolfNow for not making us aware of the conditions

The course was overbooked, there was ONLY 14 holes that were as designed 3 holes closed and 1 par 4 hole was made into a 70 yard hole

I think it is a rip off to pay well over $250 for a course that is not played as designed by GREG NORMAN
