Not worth the hassle

For any first timers looking to play this course realize it’s in it’s own city called Vidanta World. You don’t take a cab to the pro shop, you take a cab to taxi hub, then wait for a shuttle to the pro shop so plan at least an extra 20 min once you’re at the hub.

The shuttle arrives, loads up our bags, and we ride about 10 minutes into this massive resort and get checked in. Only after paying $180 do we find out that they punched the day before and the course might be cart-path-only. Our collective “WHAT?!” prompted her to radio someone to verify that we’re playing 18 holes, and only some fairways are closed.

The nice man in charge of the caddies asks us if we know where the range is and we don’t. He sends an escort to get us to the range since we’re barely on time at this point. The stupid escort tells us to follow a hotel worker after 5 turns around a maze and it turns out she’s going somewhere else completely. We end up circling back and blow through some cones since it looked like we needed to get across the river and after a couple more Uturns we find the range.

The round itself was great we played with another twosome from the east coast and had Javier as an awesome caddie. I had a couple birdies but putting through freshly punched (not side cut) greens is no fun.

Tee shots are all safe, approach shots are all safe, it’s just a resort course and I bet the pro’s shoot -20 under when here.

The breakfast burritos are made to order and show up 3 holes later and was amazing, as it should be for $18.

Post-round: No showers are available.

The back 9 was closed due to repairs. However, we did not find out about it until the day before playing. In addition, we only found out because a fellow golfer was at the course. It was worth trying out just to say you played where the Mexico Open is held.

Tough course, great caddies

I played the course in the afternoon. Carlos our caddie was fantastic. He helped my wife who is a beginner golfer a lot. The course itself is tough. The rough was very thick and deep. The had also just recently punched the greens so putting wasn’t the greatest. I am a 15 handicap and shot a 99 on a par 73. I would definitely play here again.

I recommend getting there at least 90 minutes early as you have to take shuttles from the drop off area to get to the golf pro shop. Then it is another long golf cart ride to the course.

Course is fine, Vidanta is a joke

Booking tee times is quite literally nor possible through. Try booking a time on the lakes course (night course) after 5pm if you don't believe me.

There are plenty of better courses in PV run by adults. Just go to Vista

Good course, just the wrong time of year

The course recently punched their greens. We played the front nine twice but green were still bumpy. Overall, this would be a great track if greens were in good shape and could play the full course. We got a break on price through Golf Now but they were charging full rate for less than desirable course conditions.

Overall great experience

Course was in fantastic condition. The practice green was aerated but the course greens were perfect and smooth. There wasnt a single bad blade of grass on the course. The only thing that was average were the club rentals. I usually swing stiff- xtra stiff, but they only offered regular flex clubs. 70$ for rentals, i was hoping for at least an option, but regardless of that, it was an amazing experience and will definitely play again

The Mexico Open: Norman Great Course

Of Course This Where The Mexico Open Is Played On The PGA Tour At ViDanta The Greg Norman Course. They Also have An 18 Hole Nicklaus Course ( The Back-9 Under Repairs ) And A Excellent Par-3 Course You Can Play at Night. The Championship Norman Course Is The Jewel In there Crown. Caddies Are Required And Let Me Tell You Golf Is So Much Easier With Professional Caddies. ($25-$40 Bucks You Pay Directly To The Caddie.) The Course Is Great, The Layout Is Tough But Fair And The greens were I Excellent Condition running About A 10 On The Steemp. Mark & Raul The Caddies Were Very Personable & Knowledgeable . The Staffs Super friendliness Is Top Notch. I Highly Recommend This Course. ( Tom The Bomb ) .
