Vidanta Nuevo Nayarit-Vallarta

The worst course I’ve ever played. There is only 14 holes, so you have to play the first 4 holes twice. You must have a caddy, which is not stated on their website or Golfnow. We must have travelled 5 km between the various tee boxes....and I’m not exaggerating. The holes are boring. Basically they are wide open and straight, with a couple of bunkers and maybe water. All in all, the worst course I’ve ever played.

Course is overall easy, with somewhat wide fairwyas but small greens. Bunkers are soft and well mantained. There´s a nice hanging bridge crossing over the Ameca River, which separates the State of Jalisco with the State of Nayarit. So, this makes an "inte-state" golf course, which I think is the only one in Mexico with this kind of layout. You can say you played in two states in the same round!

We booked and paid in total online. Directions from app are wrong. When arrived caddie was provided and told mandatory- no mention was not included in fees, asked for 700 pesos for 2 people- only cash accepted and club house did not have cash.

45 dollars for caddy....was wasted money.

No restaurant or bars cool off.

El tigres is much better course and in values.

Very disappointed in my 3rd round at this course. Front 9 was fine, caddy was great. Course allowed a 6-some in front of us. Took them 40 minutes to play each of the last 3 holes. Miserable day of golf.

I’ve always been on the fence about this place. The shuttle here, driving range over there, golf cart ride back here. We will not be back. There are better values and locations out there!

Interesting golf course... but for the price will prefer to play at El Tigre...

No condo around... mandatory caddy... but now with gps and cart not really a plus....

Par 3 are probably the challenge... most of rhem with water hazard or enough long could be difficult for average player...

Par 4 of the 5 par 5.... mostly straight... so this is it .... ride to go at the first hole pretty long...

Lot of greens were most of them surprisingly not holding the line.... maybe beacause

Maybe other Vandata give you more for the price..

Thank you to Billy our caddy. He was top notch, very helpful, professional and made the round very enjoyable.

I thought the grounds were a great build up to the course itself, everything is beautiful!

I would personally like to thank my caddie Hector for making the day quite enjoyable! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to hang with. I was a single that was extremely important to me. I’ll be back!

We played this course last year while staying at Vidanta and played it two more times while visiting again last week. Tomas was our forecaddie and he did an excellent job! The course was in great shape. This course has plenty of character and will definitely hold your interest.

Corse almost back to perfect. Greens still need a couple of weeks. Fairways are almost dry with lots of extra run. Hugo the caddie the best as always.

Twilght fee is ok but depends time of the year ,

Summer it rains in the afternoon

Playing the course for the first time since lockdown. Everyone was very friendly and happy to see you back playing. All Covid precautions in place. Caddie’s riding on the back of the cart and not touching your clubs. Still very useful having them there. Course was in great shape although the greens were a little slower than normal. The range is open and all range balls are disinfected before yo use them. Glad to be back.

The course itself was in decent shape with good variety and several water/bunker challenges. Club rental was $60 US (outrageous) and the women’s clubs were far inferior to the men’s rentals. I discovered on the 2nd hole that the grip on my driver was very loose... with the heat it would twist 180 degrees in my hands. I was forced to use my husband’s driver for the rest of the round... longer club than I’d like. Complaints to staff at the pro shop fell on deaf ears with claims that there were no managers left on duty and no compensation could be made. On top of that, we were surprised with a $500 peso charge for the caddie we were forced to use and who did not add much value to the round. All in all a poor experience.

Allow yourself an extra half hour before your tee time, the complex is massive. We played in three hours, the course was in great shape, Daniel was a wonderful fore caddie. I would highly recommend him. This is probably Puerto Vallarta’s premier golf facility. The greens are fast, and the fairways wide open. It was very challenging even from the gold tees.
