Dissapointed with the course

Vidanta in general is an amazing complex of hotels and ammenities. Nevertheless, it seems that they have chopped and stitched the Nayar Course to acomodate new building. It is quite clear that the course has closeed some holes and improvised new ones.

The way the course is drawn, feels extrange and it is quite easy. Not to many challenges.

I was actually dissapointed.

Wonderful overall experience

Course was in wonderful condition. Got to play about a month before the 2025 Mexico Open before they switched to cart path only. Our caddie, Nicholas, was very helpful and was lots of fun to be around. Very scenic course with several postcard holes and some wildlife(baby crocodile, very large boa). Pro shop staff, starters, shuttle drivers etc. were friendly and helpful. The property is huge and could be very difficult to find your way around if you don’t know where you are going. Could use bigger signage maybe. The rental clubs were decent but pricey and could use a good cleaning and maybe a re-gripping. Overall was a really great experience.

Atypical layout

The course layout is very bad. 2-3 holes here, 4-5 holes there with very long distances in between. Not fun because rhythm is lost. One of the main jobs of the caddy was to guide us through this labyrinth.

A jewel 🤩🤩

Very impressed for all the that comes with a round at Vidanta. We are three weeks before the Mexico Open and the conditions are top notch…No regrets to pay a higher than normal fee but it is worth every cent.🤩🏌🏾‍♀️

Nayar course

The course is all chopped up due to the Mexican Open. I bought a twilight rate but not many people were playing so the pro shop said we could go. When we got there one of the course workers I believe named Daniel told us we couldn’t go after we had permission. The guy was an egomaniac. After a heated discussion he gave me his permission to go. Don’t think I’ll ever play there again.

Look for a better option.

We played while the Norman course was being prepped for the Mexico Open. Many holes were shortened due to the tee boxes being moved to the fairway. The back nine had sanded greens on every hole. None of this information was given prior to the round and we were charged full price. Course conditions were fair-not great. Caddy was nice but not necessary.
