Bad

Stay away from playing here for a while. Not the premium shape that it should be. I am a low handicapped and this is inexcusable. $70 for rental clubs and they give you regular shaft because they don’t have Stiff. Not green, very disappointed.

Last Round for 2020

Put 2020 in the books with this round in Penasco.

Wind was howling the day we played which made the course trickier than it already is.

Staff is always excellent and attentive.

Course set up and conditions were perfect.

A lot of improvements over the last few months.

I’ll be back as always.

Amazing course and in great shape!

There were only 2-3 holes on the back nine that needed a little love. The rest was outstanding! Staff was great! Windy and desert so bring all the back up balls you can and don’t be scared to lose a couple sleeves out there.

Vidanta Puerto Peñasco, Beautiful course horrible rough

I have played this course several times and love the course! I played the course on 8/4/2020 with my wife, the tee boxes, fairways and greens were excellent but the rough made the course unplayable! The rough was anywhere from 12 to 24 inches high, you miss the fairway by 6 inches it was a lost ball, 3 to 6 feet left or right of a green it was a lost ball! I lost 7 balls during my round (typically play the same ball for an entire round)!

There was nothing indicated on the Vidanta website or on the Golfnow website that there were any issues with the course! I was very disappointed with the quality of the course based on the rough!

Better than I remembered

Nice resort course. In good shape. If you hit it in the rough you will not find it. Very few golfers on the course. The only drawback is the distance from town, about a 45 minute drive. The clubhouse is closed for construction and you must check in at the hotel.

Outstanding layout

This course is in fantastic shape and is such a great value for the money you spend to play it. The clubhouse and restaurant are closed due to winter weather damage. It’s too bad because the restaurant was very good and the pro shop was well stocked. If you are interested in a great golf layout and a well conditioned course, you must play here!

Great Course

The course is in great shape and the ocean view is fantastic. The only negative was the power cart, it ran out of power on hole 16 and we had to push it with a another golfer's cart.
