Beautiful Greg Norman course

It’s my first time in Puerto Vallarta and it’s my first time at this course. All the steps were just great. It was not easy to get around But no worries carries took care of us perfectly.

Complaints? Most of the greens were covered by sand. Putting is my forte, but it was not easy to put out in 2 putts. I understand that Green has to be kept perfect condition for the coming Mexico open visiting a golf course just before the big main game we always have to suffer something. Otherwise, everything was just perfect.

Crazy layout and markings

Drove to usual check in point but told it had changed (without road markings) and was back near the entrance, time wasted. Parked car 10 minute walk away, time wasted. Waited for cart to take us to pro shop, time wasted. Waited for cart to practice range, time wasted. No markings showing how to go from hole to hole. You absolutely must have a caddie. Drive from one of the holes to the next took 7 minutes, time wasted. Finished game, waited for cart to take us back to new checkin point then took 10 minutes to drive there in cart, time wasted. Got out of cart with clubs and walked to parking, 10 minutes, more time wasted. Crazy layout and organization. They need professional help!! Super frustrating and a LOT OF TIME WASTED.

Nice course

Had lots of fun playing these two Vidanta courses. The Nayar course was shorter but challenging. Thoroughly enjoyed playing it. My forecaddy was helpful.

Your description of the course was misleading. It says it is par 70 whereas the Norman course is par 73. Wasn’t 100% sure we were booked for the Norman course. The other course, Nayarit, is par 70, thus the course confusion. Ultimately we were booked for the Norman course so all good.

Poor Signage

Finding your way around the course was difficult. The signage was horrible forgetting from #5 to #6. Also, from getting from #8 to #9. The worst part was getting from from front nine to the back nine. We lost 45 minutes of driving around looking to find our way around.
