Vidanta Nuevo Nayarit-Vallarta

This is a typical Norman layout (i.e. wide fairways and challenging approach shots), and a delight to play. All golfers visiting Puerto Vallarta should play this course. My forecaddy was excellent - good company and he read the greens well. A bit overpriced (as are all resort courses in Mexico with a name course designer), but still worth it.

A very nice course. Kinda interesting getting to the course. You get a taxi to a staging area then wait for a shuttle to the golf shop. Staff at golf shop and course more friendly then the arrival staff. We had a deal on From Golf Now and am happy since the greens were recently aerated and sanded. Nice wildlife as we saw a huge crocodile about 10 feet below a pedestrian bridge.

We booked a round for two at Vidante - unfortunately, we were disappointed and did not feel like we got what we paid for. We booked two weeks in advance, but when we got to the course to check in, we were told that the front 9 was closed for irrigation, and that we would have to play the back 9 twice. Paying over $200 per person, this was very frustrating, as we'd booked through GN and had communication directly with the course, it was never mentioned that we would not be able to pay the full 18.

Secondly, getting to the course itself is challenging. I highly recommend arriving at least an hour before your tee time - you need to make two different stops and have a golf cart called to take you to the clubhouse before you can check in. Getting out was just as difficult and time consuming.

Overall, it would be difficult to justify playing again. Staff was friendly, caddie was hilarious, course condition was immaculate, but the actual experience was less than ideal.

Everything about this course was great. The staff was warm and friendly and attentive. From the moment I arrived every team member was welcoming. The course conditions were excellent, even with the greens being punched a week ago(which I was aware of) the rolled true, albeit a little slow. Angle was our caddie and he was fantastic. Great at giving the proper reads on the greens to selecting the correct club for the 20+ mph winds all afternoon. Absolutely would play this course again.

Had a great experience playing. It was my first time playing with a caddie. My caddie was both helpful with the course management and added fun to the round. The course layout was unique and fun, with sightings of crocodiles and iguanas. The only thing that didn’t meet my expectations of a top tier course was the conditions. There were more brown spots on tees and fairways than I expected.

It’s a great course and staff friendly, I played from white tees and had a great time

It’s a great course, unfortunately I was only able to play back 9 due front 9 was on maintenance

Only 9 holes is open. They make you play the same 9 twice.

Once you arrive you’re trapped. Cab prices double on the way out.

Caddie fee minimum of 700 pesos.

Great course other than the surprise fees. Go early to get through all of driving on site.

When we went to check in at the pro shop, that's when we were told half of the 9 holes were closed due to aeration and we are to play 2nd 9 holes twice. That was not noted when we booked and wouldn't have booked if we have known.

Have played this course in the past. Really nice course usually. We got a hot deal that turned out to be so hot. Greens had recently been plugged and the back 9 was closed so we played front twice.

Wish we would have know course condition before booking.

Fabulous first time playing this course. Loved the scenery and the caddie was a welcome addition and helped me with my club selection in on the holes. Thank you Alfredo!
