Vidanta Vallarta Course at Vidanta Nuevo Nayarit-Vallarta

We spend the winter in Mexico and there are 4 courses within 45 minutes that I play regularly. Prices are very high here compared to what we pay in the Chicago area and the conditions vary. Some of the courses are very dry and others have very slow greens. The Norman Course at Vidanta is, by far, the best conditioned course in the area. As the sight of the Mexico Open, it makes sense that there would be better conditions. The fairways are lush and the greens are true and roll well. The daily afternoon Golf Now prices and the 2:00 Hot Deals make this the best course option in the area. It's a challenge to get into Vidanta so plan extra 30 minutes to get to the driving range.

The Jack Nicklaus Course at Vista Vallarta is absolutely stunning but definitely not for the faint of heart. With crazy elevation changes, tight fairways, and fast greens, it’ll test every part of your game. Surrounded by lush jungle and rolling hills, it’s easily one of the most memorable rounds you’ll play in Mexico.

Played this course 3 weeks after Mexico Open PGA event and was still in GREAT condition (as you would expect). The course itself is 'good' to just OK. There are some fun holes and some interesting shots, but in the grand scheme of things it's not that memorable of a course. If it were like an $80-100 round and really easy to get in and out of, I would recommend it. But honestly, going into and out of Vidanta is such a pain in the B, it's not worth it compared to going to play Vista Vallarta or HIguera (it takes nearly 40 minutes to get to the driving range from the time you get to the first gate at Vidanta). I will say, that not that many people play at Vidanta - especially in the afternoon - so you can kind of just fly through your round which is nice. But overall, Vidanta is too much hassle to play just an OK course. I'm not sure how they landed a PGA event here (except I think we all do know how probably).

Awesome course, amazing amenities! Highly recommend it. Only issue i had is the address “golf now” gives you is incorrect and the GPS takes you to some back facility with no access; it took me over an hour to find the entrance. When I called pro shop they also gave me the same address that is listed on GolfNow so that was no help. It’s inside the main entrance to Vidanta Resort and there’s only one entrance with no signs so it’s tricky to find. Once you find it it’s great!

Must play if traveling to PVR

Have played several times and the condition of the fairways and greens are exceptional

Caddies are friendly and very helpful

Staff it welcoming or friendly. Felt like a mouse in a maze. So many winding paths and weird features. Course itself is nice but everything else about the place is truly odd.

Javier was our caddie, kept pace of play moving with great management of clubs, traps and players. Loved the course, love the hot dog before playing and enjoyed the entire day!

The course is in mint condition.

The facilities are first class.

Staff is super friendly.

Shout out to my Caddie Rosario! Highly recommended. Friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful!

Play the 18th from tips to revive the Open Play off!!

Have had the pleasure of playing Vidanta Norman course where the PGA plays the Mexico Open

Easily the best fairway grass conditions I have ever played anywhere in my life

Great greens as well

If you are in the Puerto Vallarta area it is a must play

Greens were still rolling well and are faster than normal. Only complaint is the bunkers have not been raked or were poorly raked by the caddies.

We teed off in the afternoon at 2:30pm. It was perfect, course was in great shape, the tour had been there the week before. Strategic use of water and subtle slopes in the greens make the greens a real challenge. They were fast and pure, enjoyed the course. Our caddy Ceasar was very friendly and gave great reads on the green.

I would highly recommend.

Immaculate shape as they were preparing it for the Mexican open. No flaws at all except for the long ride from where the taxi dropped us off to the clubhouse. We did not know this and were 10 minutes late with no range time.
