Vidanta Nuevo Nayarit-Vallarta

We played the Norman course at Vidanta several times during our visit to the area. They are getting ready for the PGA tour in 2024 so there are multiple tee boxes that they are not using and all guests tee off from the forward tee. So the course is much shorter than it should be. The condition when we played last year was better. Pace of play varied from very good to very poor. One round was over 5 hours. I complained but received no response. It is an excellent layout, caddies are great but there should be a discount because of the shortened length.

Great course but the road in is currently being rebuilt and access is very rough. Beautiful golf course and we pretty well had it to ourselves.

Facilities- there is a driving range but no practice green or bunkers. No place to have a drink and something to eat afterward.

Pro shop - wildly overpriced! We saw ladies tops that were $80 Canadian in our pro shop at home last season and they were $180! Needless to say, we didn’t shop. And I’m a shopper.

It was a beautiful afternoon on the course. Hugo was an exceptional caddie and had a wonderful sense of humour.

Pace was slow but we were there to enjoy the moment.

Beautiful course, good layout and lots of room off the tee. The caddy was great, good company but i will say this. I like to read my own putts. I like other choices off the tee rather than driver every time, it dramatically affected my round. I dont know if i ever saw what the yardages were on most par 4s, my fault i know. The only real downside is that if your playing as a non guest, it takes forever to get to the range and course. Still was a great time though

The course was in great condition. Some tee boxes were moved to let the course get ready for the Mexican Open in February. But it did not matter, the open tee boxes were immaculate.

Francisco (Pancho), my caddie, made the round so much fun and he really helped by guiding me around a course and the greens that I had never played before. He made the whole experience worth it! Thanks, Pancho!

This course is pretty reasonable for a Mexican course for quality. One thing that Golf Now does not do for subscribers is post or advise on quality like "greens have been recently punched so sanded and slow" or things like "cart path only all holes". This course was ok for carts but 9 holes were punched. The course did not advise on check in either. I had a similar experience in Palm Desert.

The course is challenging enough. The layout is weird now as the PGA has demanded some hole changes for an scheduled Tour event. This has created weird configurations and lots of driving to holes. The course does not flow and there are different design concepts between front and back holes.
