Nayar course VALLARTA

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.

Muy buen campo

El campo en general está excelente, lo único malo es que me tocaron los greenes picados, pero es parte del día a día del golf.

Pero en general todo excelente.

Disappointed

Very confusing layout. We had to drive almost 15 minutes to a remote area just to play 2 holes and then back the same distance to resume play. Our garmin watches could not locate some of the holes because they were played out of sequence. Some of the greens had just been aerated and we weren’t notified or offered a discount like most courses do. The cab ride was almonds 25 o/o more on the return trip home with no option.

Perfect course!

Visited PV for the week and played this course with 3 buddies.

Wasn’t sure what to think but figured with it being home to the Mexican Open, it had to be at least decent.

It didn’t disappoint!

Grounds for resort were beautiful and the course was in epic shape(we played the Norman Course).

Caddy, Maxwell, was really helpful and knowledgeable.

All and all, I would 100% play here again, every day of my vacation if time allowed.

Don’t miss out, play this course

Not Worth It- Overrated

Really wanted to like this course. Was expecting so much more from a course on PGA Tour. I was hoping to take a picture of scenic holes and didn’t find any. Course is flat and uneventful. No signature holes, no holes along the ocean, nothing noteworthy at all, not even a water feature on the course. Totally overrated. Vidanta requires to have and pay for a caddie. The caddie I was assigned had absolutely no clue what he was doing. Claimed he was a 30 handicap and it showed he didn’t know how to play golf. Said he was taught by his father who never played golf. He would give yardages while sitting in a cart no where close to your ball. Luckily I brought my own rangefinder since he was off by 5-8 yards on most shots. Wouldn’t even walk up to the tee box. His reads on putts would be so off that the putt would literally break in the opposite direction than his read. After the second hole I stopped listening to him. His only contribution was directing us in the maze of cart paths that led to the next tee box.

Bottom line, it seems like Vidanta uses the course as an incentive to get people to sit through time share presentations and do not know how to run a golf course. Don’t even have a bar and grill at the clubhouse. Had to take a shuttle cart to get a beer afterwards. Don’t waste your time and money on this course. Played Oct 2023.

Great afternoon for some golf

It was a beautiful afternoon, a nice breeze blew all afternoon making the heat tolerable.

The course is beautiful! Fairways are plush, traps are soft but the greens are still recovering from being recently punched. They were bumpy and made for some very disappointing putting.

My caddie, Polo was great and kept me from biting off more than I could chew. We had a great afternoon, played 18 in just over 3hrs. There wasn't many people on the course. I was also disappointed that the beverage cart never showed up!

A bit pricey but a beautiful course to enjoy. I only wish the greens were in better shape.
