Vidanta golf

Golf course is nicely laid out with plenty of options to make your game more interesting. Views along the sea are incredible. Only complaint was that our selected golf pass rate was in USD and the course would only allow us to pay in MXN pesos where we were totally hosed by the exchange rate they gave us.

Tough track

Greens are large with many undulations. Many are elevated and sloped such that your ball runs off if not high enough. Gorgeous holes along the ocean. Wind often a factor.

A hidden GEM !!

The course was an unexpected delight

We have played other Vidanta courses that were much more expensive. Nestled in this non descript desert countryside is a beautiful and very challenging golf course at a very reasonable cost

Vidanta

They never gave us water before we teed off? Fairway conditions were poor. Greens were very dry and need watering.
