Vindants

In general the course is fine. If it were not for the hot deal from Golf now I would consider it overpriced..

Vidanta

First class reception, pro shop welcome and check in was very friendly nd helpful. Shortage of balls on the driving range was quickly rectified. Caddy (Alfredo) was outstanding, as was the layout and greens. Only knock was slow play 5 1/2 hours

Disappointment

I’ve played Vidanta multiple times. Normally Nayar is in great shape, even if the course design is a bit weird.

This time, the course was not up to the Vidanta standard, and certainly not for the price they charged for the round.

- all the greens on the back are in average conditions

- there are two temporary holes on the front, on is a temporary green (no distance provided) and the other is a part 4 cut in half ending up in a 100-yard par 3. Course plays a total of 68.

- none of this is mentioned when we pay or check-in.

We will come back to Vidanta, but for the main course.

Lakes Short Course

My wife and I played the Lakes course, fantastic layout for an executive course and got around easily in 1.5 hours. A little difficult for my wife who is a beginner with most holes having a forced water carry to the green. I found the layout to be extremely attractive and very playable as a 10 handicap. The day was capped off with my first Hole-in-one on #6! Value wise it is expensive, but considering the rates for the championship courses on site and in the area, it was our only option for cost and enjoy ability based on her abilities. All and all, a very nice outing, with a nice memory to cherish together.
