Vidanta Nuevo Nayarit-Vallarta

We were all set to play and headed to the course in an uber for lunch before and then golf.After over 2 hours in traffic we sadly called vidante to cancel as we would miss our tee time.Upon return to States I reached out to GOlf Now and was told by the chat they would give me a credit for the four golfers I have already paid for but once I accepted their credit offer they cut off my chat. my recommendation is do not use Golf Now.

Course perfectly prepared for Mexico Open. Checkin logistics not great. Service levels are not great for Mexico. Missing things like greeting " hello, welcome to Vidanta; let me help you with your bags, have a great round; thanks for visiting Vidanta, hope you had a great day, looking forward to see you again". How about recommending restaurants on the property, handing a card with directions to some of them to keep golfers on property longing etc., etc., etc. Many missed opportunities but especially missing 'friendly' Mexican hospitality. Management please take note.

Great place to play can’t say anything. Bad greens are great. Fairways are great. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed maybe when yourself but that has nothing to do with the golf course. Good luck.

Very fun, well manicured course. Could use more signage so you could play without a caddy. Golf watch didn’t work, holes must be changed around. Fun to play before the Mexican open.

We thoroughly enjoyed the course. It is quite the process to actually there but it is worth it. The staff are friendly and the course was in beautiful condition and is fair to everyone.

Previous caddies were very knowledgeable and could tell us which club to use and where to put. The caddie we had, provided very little of that. I understand he has been on the job for only four days. However he should not charge full price.

New name for the Mexican Open site - coming up Feb 20-23. Three of us played 18 holes starting at 2:20 thanks to Golf Now. Rental clubs okay; fairway metals need replacing. Forecaddie Jose did a fine job. No pressure, played at our own pace. Bargain to play; caddie is $20 US.

The golfnow listed shows 9 holes with cart. The Lakes is 10 hole par 3 course. No carts. Must walk. Need to fix listings

We didn’t start our tee time on tine and we believe that another group was “snuck in” between the 2:00 and the 2:08 group, so that really slowed up play and the group that did get snuck in did not keep pace, that was frustrating as we just barely could finish our round.

The greens were a bit chewed up or diseased, very hard to stick a ball.

Course is getting ready for the Mexico open. Few tee boxes are in different places, bunkers are not perfect yet, greens a little sandy but course is already in great shape.

Caddie Ricardo was amazing, his multiple decades experience helped us around the course. Gracias Ricardo.

we'll come back.

Very confusing layout and really boring resort course. Not worth it even for a ~$75 price. Spend more and play a different course in the area or the Norman course instead.

A couple things about Nayar. You drive probably 7 miles total: long distances between certain holes. Cross the river and back, and just some really weird and non-intuitive layouts. They make you take a caddy, party just so you don’t get lost between holes! The course itself is super boring. Easy. If that’s your thing, maybe it’s good to play. But really there’s only 2-3 interesting holes. The rest are completely forgettable.

And super important to know about Vidanta. Especially if you’re not staying there, the check in process is a huge pain in the butt. Check in at the gate, get a wristband. Park or get dropped off at the shuttle station. Wait for the shuttle. Get shuttled to the pro shop. Wait in line with everyone getting off the shuttle. Take a cart to the range (long drive). Warm up area. Check in again. Take a cart to the course (another long drive). And that’s if it all goes smoothly. For me they steered me 30 minutes after my tee time because they ran out of carts at the range and I just had to wait half an hour.

Overall, really disappointing experience. Only saving grace was I only paid under $70 for the round.

They need to give more information on the mandatory caddies and price we where 30 minutes late because they didn’t have enough caddies

There should be a better notification for the caddies letting people know it is mandatory and how much getting in and out is very difficult
