Excellent Course - Played two weeks prior to PGA Tour's Mexican Open

My caddie, Polo, was great! Played two weeks prior to PGA Tour's Mexican Open, spo the grandstands were up in spots and fun to fantisize about. I would have played a few more times, but the course closed the next day to prepare it for the professionals. It'll be fun to watch as I understand they were planning to fertilize and water the rough to toughen the course up. Greens were fairly slow, so am sure that will change in two weeks. Highly recommend!

Course closed front 9 without notifying me

First off, the good. Caddie Manny was amazing, great personality and extremely knowledgable about the course. Staff was great from check-in to completion.

The bad, the course closed the front 9. Did not notify myself of these changes and this closure caused a 5+ hour round. The slow pace of play caused by poor management of the facilities was a bit of a let down. As previously noted, great staff but administration dropped the ball.

Amazing course!

Vidanta does an amazing job and with GN, you can actually play this course for a reasonable fee. They do have a mandatory caddie, but cost only $40 and they really do help a lot. Fun course and in absolutely perfect condition. Love it!

A Bit Pricey

Green fees, club rentals and mandatory caddie are quite expensive. Mandatory caddie was not advertised upon booking We were not guests of the resort and arrived via Uber and found that the shuttle service was not user friendly, not explained and very disorganized. Website not very informative, eg. How to get to proshop if you are not a guest Poor and lacking signage between proshop and Greg Norman course.

Course was in pristine condition, greens were a tad bit slow but rolled true, understandable as they are preparing for the Mexico Open. I would suggest to be early for your tee time if you’re coming from off resort. 45 minutes min, as it is quite the process to get to the course.

Request Antonio as your caddy!!

I had read reviews on this website and heard of a caddy called Antonio who was amazing so I took a screenshot and waited until we went. When we got there I requested him and it was the best part of golf. He was absolutely amazing. He is very personable, has worked on this course for 30+ years helped with every putt read, gave yardages and marked all balls. I was lucky enough to ride in the cart with him and let me tell you, it was a blast. I am not a good Spanish speaker and I was able to laugh my butt off when I was talking with him. He taught me all kinds of hilarious phrases and things to say and just was such an awesome guy. He was so awesome we booked him for two more rounds. I please beg you to request him. He is so awesome. I even made an account just as my thanks to him. Antonio is the man!!

Expensive

Course overall was in good shape. Staff friendly, but high tips are expected. Not good value for your money

Beautiful course

This was the third round here and I'd play it again and again. Loved the fairways and the views, greens were for me fast and challenging. Entire staff, caddie, proshop, shuttle very friendly and helpful.. Can't wait to be back.
