Poor communication

Booked 18 holes was bot told they airrated the greens until we arrived also was informed the back nine was closed due to recent aeration. We were told we had to play the front nine twice. All the tee boxes were covered in sand also the greens were aeratied also covered in sand tough to putt .We were 3 and did not enjoy the round we feel Vidante should give all 3 of us a replacement round once the course is back to normal . If we had been informed in any way we would have postponed the round to a later date .Also the rough is so deep on some holes once your ball goes in it if you can find it its almost impossible to hit the ball out . Right now is not a good time to play a course which is usually a pleasure to play.

Absolutely worth the drive to Peurto Penasco

What an amazing course. I'd have to say it is probably in the top 5 courses I've played. Course conditions were amazing, tee boxes were mint, and the greens rolled true. There were some spots needing a bit of maintenance but was being tended to. You check in at the hotel/golf shop before going to the course, we found that out the hard way. Signage and directions could be a bit better but we found it.

Puerto Penasco Golf Course

The golf course at the Puerto Penasco Vidanta was wonderful to play on. This was our first time playing here and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The course was fun and challenging with some beautiful views of the Sea of Cortez. We had nobody playing behind us both days we played, so could take our time and not feel pushed. The staff was very friendly and even helped load our clubs on the cart,and cleaned our clubs when we're done playing. Overall this was a great experience and I would highly recommend.
