Golf was great, experience could be better

golf and course were great, no complaints there but we got there an hour before our tee time and barely had time to warm up and make it to the tee on time because of Vidanta's resort layout and shuttle system. you get dropped off at a shuttle depot, have to wait for a shuttle to the pro shop which took about 15 min. then wait in line at the pro shop which covers 3 courses. Then take a 10 min ride to range, hit a few balls, then take cart another 8 or so minutes to the 1st tee. then after the round it's a 10 min shuttle back to the clubhouse to return the carts and a 10 min shuttle back to the depot to get picked up. course and resort are beautiful but don't plan on getting in and out quickly.

Superb!

Unlike last week, Green was just perfect. Almost ready for the Mexican open in two months. I will definitely come back and recommend the course to my friends. Staffa were so nice. There was a floor in the gem, Some caddies Are not ready to serve your players. Otherwise, I had a great day.

Caddies are awesome

Played both the Norman and Nicklaus courses, at Vidanta recently. Both are in great shape. Norman is a little sandy but that is to be expected as they prepare for their PGA event in February, but it played fantastic. I played afternoon rounds, by myself, taking advantage of the Golf Now, Hot Deal pricing. Rounds with their caddies were a blast. Played fast relaxing golf with lots of good banter and some great tips as well. The absolute high point of my trip.

Beautiful Greg Norman course

It’s my first time in Puerto Vallarta and it’s my first time at this course. All the steps were just great. It was not easy to get around But no worries carries took care of us perfectly.

Complaints? Most of the greens were covered by sand. Putting is my forte, but it was not easy to put out in 2 putts. I understand that Green has to be kept perfect condition for the coming Mexico open visiting a golf course just before the big main game we always have to suffer something. Otherwise, everything was just perfect.

Not stressful course to play

If you’re average golfer then you should shoot low eighties,I like this course if you staying at vidanta and if you’re not then play vista Vallarta it’s very challenging if you like to play tough courses

Your description of the course was misleading. It says it is par 70 whereas the Norman course is par 73. Wasn’t 100% sure we were booked for the Norman course. The other course, Nayarit, is par 70, thus the course confusion. Ultimately we were booked for the Norman course so all good.

A good challenge

I played the Nicklaus Course twice during my stay in Puerto Vallarta. Stunning views! More than a few times I had to hit over gullies and canyons. I couldn't imagine how hard that would be from the back tees. The greens were large for the most part and the bunkers quite deep.
