Vidanta Los Cabos

Because golf is so expensive in Cabo, this is a good value for a warmup round.

This was a fun course and the weather was perfect! Didn't mind the mandatory $30 per person food/beverage charge as the tacos and drinks were great. Total fees were $113.63 for 2 people on Golfnow plus $60 food/drink fee plus $100 for 2 rental sets plus $32.63 for a couple boxes of balls. Total was $306.26. A little on the pricey side but we had a great experience and would recommend this course, especially in early April before it gets really hot in Cabo.

Really the only complaint is they don't use marshalls after Easter and the pace of play was horrendous this time.

Booked an affordable round of 18 with my son and by the time we paid for rentals and 2 sleeves of balls it was $600 Canadian. Golf Now advertised $69 plus a $30 fee for the free food and drinks which was ok with me. But when we rented clubs and a few balls it added up to be more than $350 Canadian. To top it off I rolled my ankle on 8 and could barely walk. I asked if we could raincheck the other 9,showed them my ankle and refused. It also is deceiving when you book as I assumed it was 18 hole course but is 9 that you do twice. Most 9 hole courses advertise 9 not 18.

I love this course and have played it many times. It is the best deal in Cabo but.... You have to pay a $30 USD fee for tacos and beverages. Except my round finished at 3:30 PM and this is the second time there was no tacos. So I had my two beers and left. There is repairs going on at the pub and the attached pool in the resort. I will still play it again because I like the course and the staff are friendly.

Be aware of the $30usd food and beverage charge. They say it’s in terms and conditions but I don’t see it anywhere. Otherwise, still the least expensive option in Cabo, just hate undeclared fees.

My visit to Vidanta in Cabo, BCS Mexico left me contemplating the potential of what could have been a memorable golfing adventure, but unfortunately, it fell short in several key areas. Prospective visitors should brace themselves for an experience that seems more focused on extracting every possible dollar from tourists rather than providing a quality golfing experience.

Course Conditions:

Let's start with the course itself – while it promises an immersive experience amidst Mexico's natural beauty, the reality is a far cry from what you might expect. The lack of proper cart paths, replaced instead by bumpy dirt tracks, is a testament to the neglect this course has suffered. It’s clear that the maintenance budget is either woefully inadequate or improperly allocated.

Service and Hospitality:

The service and hospitality here seem to operate on a principle of maximum profit extraction. Be prepared for a compulsory $30 drink fee, an audacious charge that applies regardless of whether you choose to indulge in their beverages or not. This fee feels less like a service and more like a penalty for playing here.

Furthermore, the staff's demeanor often crosses the line from confidently assertive to uncomfortably aggressive. Their brand of machismo isn't just off-putting; it can feel downright threatening, contributing to an unwelcoming and hostile environment that detracts from the overall experience.

Value for Money:

Speaking of value, or the lack thereof, it's apparent that Vidanta is more interested in lining its pockets than providing a fair and enjoyable experience. Every possible opportunity to levy a charge is seized with gusto, leaving you feeling nickel-and-dimed at every turn.

Overall Impression:

The combination of poor maintenance, aggressive upselling, and an unwelcoming atmosphere makes Vidanta a place to avoid. There are countless other courses in Mexico that offer not only better value for your money but a more enjoyable and hospitable experience. It's disappointing to see such potential wasted, and one can only hope that the management will wake up to these glaring issues before it's too late.

In its current state, Vidanta doesn't just need improvement; it needs a complete overhaul in both infrastructure and attitude. Until then, I cannot recommend this course to anyone looking for a pleasant golfing experience in Mexico.
