Vidanta 2026 March

I’ve played this course numerous times over the past 6 years. This year has been a different experience from the past. I got a hot deal 3+ weeks ago for $74. If you book too late expect anywhere from $150-325. I find the pricing upsetting as I feel like I’m being taken advantage of. I would have booked additional golf if the rates were reasonable. They’re nowhere near a $200+ course, non of the courses on golf now in PVR are. Greens are slow 8.5-9 maybe, bunker I found green side was un-raked, unacceptable with a mandatory caddy. Food and drink was on expensive side.

Greg norman

Great course and in great shape. Forcing a caddy on us for $50USD is simply gouging. Caddy was of no help/use. Just not required for this course

Heartless Staff

This golf course literally refused us entry during the cartel attack on February 22nd. Absolutely heartless group of scum who sent everyone back in the streets instead of giving a place of shelter. They clearly do not care about anyone unless it’s a perfect day. This is what we returned to on the streets after being denied entry even WITH a golf reservation they turned us around to close the course and protect themselves and this what we drive into. On the flipside, “””Marina Vallarta”””gave us shelter AND a drink to wait out the mayhem

Nice enough course but the ridiculous journey out to the 6th & 7th holes is just wrong. Caddies are required to make sure you don’t get lost - on the cart paths!

Losing two par 4’s (to ‘temporary’ par 3’s) on the front nine made the difference between front and back nines very dramatic.

Poor value for those of us who paid.

Great Course but Slow Play

T.his is a great course with plenty of challenging holes. The round was quite slow and there didn't appear to be any course marshall.

In general the course is fine. If it were not for the hot deal from Golf now I would consider it overpriced..
