Vidanta Nuevo Nayarit-Vallarta

Very fun, well manicured course. Could use more signage so you could play without a caddy. Golf watch didn’t work, holes must be changed around. Fun to play before the Mexican open.

We thoroughly enjoyed the course. It is quite the process to actually there but it is worth it. The staff are friendly and the course was in beautiful condition and is fair to everyone.

Previous caddies were very knowledgeable and could tell us which club to use and where to put. The caddie we had, provided very little of that. I understand he has been on the job for only four days. However he should not charge full price.

New name for the Mexican Open site - coming up Feb 20-23. Three of us played 18 holes starting at 2:20 thanks to Golf Now. Rental clubs okay; fairway metals need replacing. Forecaddie Jose did a fine job. No pressure, played at our own pace. Bargain to play; caddie is $20 US.

The golfnow listed shows 9 holes with cart. The Lakes is 10 hole par 3 course. No carts. Must walk. Need to fix listings

We didn’t start our tee time on tine and we believe that another group was “snuck in” between the 2:00 and the 2:08 group, so that really slowed up play and the group that did get snuck in did not keep pace, that was frustrating as we just barely could finish our round.

The greens were a bit chewed up or diseased, very hard to stick a ball.

Course is getting ready for the Mexico open. Few tee boxes are in different places, bunkers are not perfect yet, greens a little sandy but course is already in great shape.

Caddie Ricardo was amazing, his multiple decades experience helped us around the course. Gracias Ricardo.

we'll come back.

Very confusing layout and really boring resort course. Not worth it even for a ~$75 price. Spend more and play a different course in the area or the Norman course instead.

A couple things about Nayar. You drive probably 7 miles total: long distances between certain holes. Cross the river and back, and just some really weird and non-intuitive layouts. They make you take a caddy, party just so you don’t get lost between holes! The course itself is super boring. Easy. If that’s your thing, maybe it’s good to play. But really there’s only 2-3 interesting holes. The rest are completely forgettable.

And super important to know about Vidanta. Especially if you’re not staying there, the check in process is a huge pain in the butt. Check in at the gate, get a wristband. Park or get dropped off at the shuttle station. Wait for the shuttle. Get shuttled to the pro shop. Wait in line with everyone getting off the shuttle. Take a cart to the range (long drive). Warm up area. Check in again. Take a cart to the course (another long drive). And that’s if it all goes smoothly. For me they steered me 30 minutes after my tee time because they ran out of carts at the range and I just had to wait half an hour.

Overall, really disappointing experience. Only saving grace was I only paid under $70 for the round.

They need to give more information on the mandatory caddies and price we where 30 minutes late because they didn’t have enough caddies

There should be a better notification for the caddies letting people know it is mandatory and how much getting in and out is very difficult

The course is in great shape, great fairways, fast greens.

We ended up with the most junior caddies that was not really helpful. We knew what we were doing anyway but felt like we had to pay extra for little added value service.

We’ll come back anyway as it was one amongst many rounds but give the feedback so the club does some validation work in caddy qualifications.

Played at 640pm. Atmosphere, once on the course was amazing. Pristine conditions with giant bats flying around eating flies. Sort of feels like golfing in Jurassic park. Get there at least 30 mins early, cuz the shuttle into Jurassic park is pretty elaborate and confusing. No bar or beer cart at this specific course too. A little pricey for 10 holes (especially after the canadian dollar conversion)… but overall worth it. But i got a hole in one on hole 1…soooooo pretty biased over here.
