Great conditions

The course is in great shape, great fairways, fast greens.

We ended up with the most junior caddies that was not really helpful. We knew what we were doing anyway but felt like we had to pay extra for little added value service.

We’ll come back anyway as it was one amongst many rounds but give the feedback so the club does some validation work in caddy qualifications.

Experience it once - and get there early

Played at 640pm. Atmosphere, once on the course was amazing. Pristine conditions with giant bats flying around eating flies. Sort of feels like golfing in Jurassic park. Get there at least 30 mins early, cuz the shuttle into Jurassic park is pretty elaborate and confusing. No bar or beer cart at this specific course too. A little pricey for 10 holes (especially after the canadian dollar conversion)… but overall worth it. But i got a hole in one on hole 1…soooooo pretty biased over here.

Least the greens are good

We got a cab to the front gates and arrived a hour before our tee time. They made us wait at the concierge for an hour & then sent us to the range to wait for a caddie. They said a caddie was necessary to play the Norman course. We were then sent on the course an hour after our tee time was supposed to be and told us a caddie would join us in ten minutes. A caddie never showed up despite being told he would show up on the third hole. They sent us out on a different course than we paid for. After finding the Norman course on our own the golf was decent and course was in mediocre shape the greens were the highlight. The pace was horrible and our caddie never showed up. It’s worth playing once but if you aren’t staying at the resort it’s a horrible experience until you actually get on the courses I suggest showing up a hour and a half early.

Easy and flat

We were required (no choice) to take a caddy although we had a golfcar

Layout of the course was strange, some holes were kilometers apart

Play were slow

Greens were good

Sand were difficult (compact)

Generally enjoy the round and the nice weather

Nice, challenging par 3 course

A lot of water makes this a fun and challenging par 3 course. You have to carry your clubs as there are no carts. Layout involves some backtracking. Course is in walking distance of pro shop.

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.
