The Grand Mayan and Mayan Palace - Vidanta Puerto Penasco

Second time we played this course this week - and will play it again tomorrow. By far this is the best course in Penasco. Course was in excellent condition and not busy at all - probably because of the time of year. Good practice facility with comp. balls. On course hostess was very friendly and attentive. Greens were a little slow but rolled true. Regular green fees are $125, but we got it for $53 through golf now.

Oceanside beauty with flawless conditioning.Its got the "oh wow" holes.Ocean views throughout the course and many holes on the beach.The 2 of us were the only players on course and the staff had washed my car by the time we finished playing.Check out the artwork in the on course restrooms.Maintenence has not declined in the 7 years we've been here.

First off I have to say the course is a must play. We played this course twice. It was our First visit to rocky point for wife and I. We stayed at the grand mayan(also incredible) and our room was on the 15th hole of the course. They shuttled us over and the enjoyment began. The bag drop guys, Jose and Sergio, were very nice and got us set up on the cart. Checked in at pro shop. There is a six dollar each extra Mexico tax charge but course is well worth it. Wife and I teed off in 25mph winds. Best advice I can give is pick the appropriate tee boxes. Course can be tough especially throwing in the wind. I see, as I am in the golf business in Phoenix, way too many people play the wrong tees then complain the course is tough. This Nicklaus course is lush so don't plan on much roll on your tee shots. Now to the course. Everything was manicured. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were plush. So many great holes not even counting the Ocean side holes that are so scenic. I would definitely play the course twice. There are a few blind holes and a few holes you are not sure on distance of hazards off tee box. I played one tee box up from the tips. The course is very challenging from there which is what I like. My wife played the senior tees which are by the ladies and the course is much easier from there. After our round we had a delicious lunch on the deck which had another great view. Final note: I have been golfing for over 37 years and played all over(Scotland, Hawaii, ect) and this course is in my Top 3 not counting the great value. The views are incredible, but again just make sure u pick the appropriate tee boxes so u can enjoy this course to the fullest.

Despite the howling winds coming off the Sea of Cortez, we love this course. Great shape, great service!

Always a great time playing this beaitiful course right on the gulf!

This course is a real challenge wide fairways with lots of bunkers!! Greens roll fast and true and the ocean views are incredible!! We have played here 3 times now and we highly recommend it!!

Jack Nicolas and his dam sand traps. The course is very long 6400 for the guys. Not too many people play golf in the area of Mexico so pace of play was perfect.

Wish the weather was warmer. It was windy and 65....cool for this time of year.

Most beautiful course ever for me. Second to Maui

Good course for the price

A definite play when in Puerto Peñasco

This is a must play course, challenging, great views,

friendly staff.

I will definitely be back!

Fantastic course but with deadly consquenses if you are off the fairways.

About 9 holes on the water. Great course layout, definitely not boring. Must play with a great price!

Stunning course, well maintained, great greens . . . very challenging, and certainly not for the meek . . . bring balls and patience.

The weather was perfect for a great day of golf on this beautiful course.

Very challenging,stunning scenery and great course design.

Greens and course are as good as any high end course plus scenery makes it a must play if you are close

The course itself is fantastic. Lush green grass, wide fairways, perfectly groomed greens and unmatched scenery on the ocean front holes. The problem is the price. Unless you get a discount on Golf Now or get coupons at the resort after sitting through the time share presentation, the rate quoted was $195.00/player. (No discount for guests at the Mayan) We booked through Golf Now. The starters were helpful, the pro shop staff were not willing to bend on the rate even after admitting they only had 7 booked tee times for the entire day. Take lots of golf balls b/c you will lose a few unless you are a scratch golfer. You will enjoy the golf once you get out on the course.

I felt the course was excellent value for what I paid ($42). The course was in great shape, nothing to complain about. Grass was healthy, bunkers were in great shape and greens were fun. The view was also very nice with ocean on one side and estuary on the other. I wouldn't hesitate to play again. We had a little bit of a slow round but I wouldn't image that would be the case for everyone. We had a huge weddding party in front of us, drunk and slow. We took about 4.25 hrs to play, but you could easily play faster without the wedding party. Practice facilities were nice and represented the course very well. You can practice putting and feel comfortable going out.
