Nice venue once you get there

Enjoyed the course. It was in good condition and quite playable. Caddie Eduardo quite helpful. Would definitely go back. Of the four course I played the two at Vindanta were in the best shape and most enjoyable. Grass was green and not dried out.

Only issue I had was getting there. You can only access this and the Norman course thru the main Vindanta entrance off Rte 200 not from Nararit Blvd.

Also allow at least 30 minutes before tee time as you have to take shuttle to course.

Otherwise enjoy the scenery.

Enjoyable day

Had a great time playing here. Course in good condition in preparation for the Mexico Open. Greens were sanded but putted true. Caddie Eduardo very helpful and knowledgeable.

Only caveat is this course and Nayar are only accessible from the Vindanta entrance. The address and routing from you phone is wrong. There is no access from Nayarit Blvd. We drove around 40 minutes until someone told us where to enter.

Also get there at least 30 minutes early as once on the property you have to shuttle to the course

Course is great - hard to get to

The actual golf course is lovely and easy to play. However, the address on Golf Now is completely wrong since the renovations at Vidanta. You must enter through the main gate of Vidanta off of the highway, then park and take a shuttle to the pro shop then another shuttle to hole 1. The Golf Now price was great BUT caddies are mandatory at 700 pesos each so that adds another $40USD to the cost of the round. Allow yourself at least 40 minutes from arriving at the Vidanta Gate until you ride 2 shuttles before your tee off time.

Very sore and tired

First,, our caddy. Manuel was outstanding, looked after all of our needs during the round. If it wasn’t for him it would have been a diifacult day.

Should have been told it was cart paths only, almost had to stop because of pain.

I Have had 7 knee operations 2 knee replacements.

Will not book again without knowing if it’s cart paths only.

Good course, horrible experience

Great course, but terrible getting in and out. Plus scorecard was not the hole sequence shown and GPS was unusable.

Disappointed

Course was very beautiful, staff friendly for the positive. Disappointed for a few reasons. There was a very bad house fire on the course which caused our game to be held up and re routed. Hopefully everyone is ok!! That is the main thing. We were held up and then re routed to another part of the course. I said maybe we should come back?? We ended up playing several different holes and not in order and missed out on 3 of the holes. The fire was of course out of their control . At the end we tipped the caddy very well then he told us his service was 800 pesos. We were not told about a caddy charge. Service for the shuttle to the course was late by 30 minutes. It was a very expensive day for us and feel we were short changed of our golf game and should of been offered the option to come back due to the fire.
