Great Course

Played it twice this week. Terrific course in immaculate condition. Tough greens with a lot of subtle contours and breaks. Played as a single and caddies let singles play through. Finished in less than four hours. Hector was a great caddie. Saw crocodiles and lots of iguanas. Overall a great time and worth the money booking through golf now. I plan to return again.

Impeccably maintained golf course. Super conditions. By chance had their number one caddie (Germán), and he is just a wealth of knowledge.

Long and Wide

Each hole felt large. Tremendous open spaces and made it difficult because not really any specific boundary’s. Therefore felt the need to swing Hard.

The whole course was in Beautiful shape. Unfortunately no real eye popping holes

Great golf experience

We had Hector as our caddie and he was excellent.

He was the best forecaddie I ever had. He could watch a couple of holes and then suggest clubs by how hit them. It was so great we booked second round two days later. The whole experience was awesome. Course condition was amazing.

Great shape

We really enjoyed the course. Our caddy was knowledgeable. Good practice facilities but no onsite restaurant for guests not staying there. Two some in front of us a bit slow but no one behind us will play again

Vidanta Wall

OK. The course was above average nice. Practice area with real quality grass and balls. The greens, fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. The problem with me as a single player? I picked a time at noon when the rates went down from the morning. Got the time. Was told that I was paired with 3 other golfers....great, perfect ok. What happened? I teed off by myself and then after the second hole my caddy suggested we skip some holes and come back to them later. We played 1-2-4-5-7-8-10-11-3-6-12-16-17-15-13-14 and 18 in that order...in 2 hours and 45 minutes. I hit all 14 fairways...drove a drive-able par 4 and shot a 77. But I felt I got whiplash from the golf cart lol. My caddy was great but from trying to get into the Vidanta Wall Prison and dealing with the mediocre guys at the golf shop it took away from the experience. Getting there sucks. Allow and extra hour, take advantage of the solid driving range.

Luxury within PV

It was pleasing and exciting to see this amazing world being developed within Puerto Vallarta. Picture Disney World Resort 2.0. Me and my family can’t wait to see how the development escalates in the next 5-10 years.

If staying off-property, arrive for your tee time at least 45 minutes ahead. Your drop-off at security check-in will be about a 10 minute cart ride away from the golf shop. The golf shop is a few minute cart ride away from the driving range. The driving range is a few minute cart ride away from the first Tee-box. Caddies are required and needed, just for getting around and to the next tee box.

Between nature, and what is being developed around you, there is always a cool view.

Golf course conditions are good to great, however, we played the day after verticut and top dressed (sand) greens. Many courses in PV were doing the same maintenance in the same week, but none of them told us upon booking. The greens still played well and rolled about 90% accurate. Just a bit slower.

Golf was good. Service was not

The course was in immaculate condition. We didn’t see a beverage or snack cart until the 12th hole.

The service was not good at all. Our caddie was David and he was great.

Beautiful golf course

The overall experience was great. The only downside was getting there. We arrived at 10:30 for a 12:00 tee time but it is a process to get through the security gates and we waited over 1/2 hour for a shuttle to take us to the pro shop so we’re left with very little time to hit practice balls. This should be noted when booking tee times.

Our caddy Gabrielle was great and really enjoyed having him help us read the greens.

The course was immaculate.
