Great resort golf.

Not super tricky but lots of fun. Conditions were not pristine, but I always had grass under my ball, and the preeens were slower but consistent with almost no imperfections.

Great Day

We came from Nuevo, 45 minute Uber. Greeted by friendly staff who got us quickly set up and organized. Interesting course, a little tight in spots. May want to bring a few extra balls. Golf huts with on holes 4 and 14 with delicious tacos snd beers for the taking. Additionally there are shots of tequila to loosen up the swing. Played with a great couple from Calgary. All in all, a great day.

This course is a fun track

Staff members are engaged and very friendly.

The course is in decent shape on fairways and greens given the climate. Staff were watering throughout the day. The greens were a bit on the slow side but ran true. Mostly flat with manageable breaks. Bunkers were plentiful with hard packed to somewhat loose sand. Complimentary fish tacos and drinks overlooking the ocean on the 4th tee block and again after the 13th hole. Make sure to tip the staff as they are there to make your day! Great 19th hole outdoor bar for a cold one after the game. All in all, worth the trip and the money compared to more expensive courses around PV. Played 3X in one week, hardly saw other golfers while we were there with 11:00 tee times.

Not worth the money

This is a terribly expensive course for no good reason. First hole is crazy narrow along a street with massive trees giving very limited second shot.

There is only one hole with an ocean view. Great hole but that’s it

Free tacos and tequila at two stops but they don’t warn you that cart person is not free. Handed me a tequila shot and then wanted 220 pesos. That’s an expensive surprise.

The traps and grass around the greens is often thin and mucky.

Greens are long and slow. Good grass but different. Not professional grade for the money they ask.

It’s a long drive from PV so expect that cost too. Overall not worth the cost. They wanted 6000 pesos. Drop the fee to half that and I’d return.

Too expensive

I play this course a lot when we are down here for the winter. For some reason, the management decided that they could raise prices by 50% this year. Last year, I paid an average of $100/round - this year the rack rate is $285 and a 10-round package is $180/round. I really like the course although the greens are very slow which makes chipping and putting difficult. There is almost on one playing at these prices and I will only go back when I see a good Golf Now rate.

Average Mexico course

Small Pro Shop with very few items.

We were rushed to play before our tee time as 80 players were about to start

Caddy golfed several holes with us and His political views should have been left out of our conversations

Course rather dry, no rakes for bunkers and found myself in others footprints

Taco stands were nice and staff fairly friendly
