The staff was superb!! No clubhouse on site(under construction…I think) Course is challenging and the views are incredible. If you’re in the area it’s well worth it.

Great course and staff

Played this course many times and it never disappoints.

Challenging course and friendly staff.

The only downside is the price of drinks and food.

The best experience!

Me and my gf are really new to golf but have gone to about 15+ courses and this is by far the best one we’ve ever been to. Conditions of the course are pristine with the most amazing views. We already tried another course out in puerto Pensacola and planned to try another one but after today I think we will go back one last time before we leave…just outside the busy area but sooooo worth it

Perfect weather
Used cart

Definitely great value for type of course and priced fairly for location and resident rates.

The only complaint I have is I can’t believe they sell much refreshments as their pricing exceeds that of what I have paid at high end private courses. After talking to starter they sell very little beer. Prices set by management. I don’t get it. Bad business model I think.. .

Georgeous Views

We enjoyed playing this course. It is a bit challenging with lots of sand to play in. The pro shop is under reconstruction which is too bad. Staff there were friendly and helpful. Lots of wildlife to enjoy. Even had a wiley coyote pick up my ball and move it closer to the green for me.

The location is the only thing that is inconvenient about this course. An hour out of town with parts of the road loaded with pot holes.

Great day at Vindanta. ⛳️

What a wonderful morning for a round of golf. Just a heads up, still go to the Mayan Palace for the pro shop. The clubhouse was still under construction. Course was in immaculate shape. Couple of spots in the fairways were soggy but the fairways and greens were awesome.

Was on hole 10 and was low on seed/sand. Alerted one of the grounds crew and by hole 12, there was already someone bringing another one. A+ service.

Everytime I go to Rocky Point, I play it. Haven't been disappointed. 🇲🇽

Amazing course

It’s out of the way but well worth the trip. Maybe the best layout I’ve ever played. Challenging with the windy conditions but fun making shots . Greens have a lot of slope and we’re in excellent condition. Beautiful views along the water. You really don’t see any other holes except the one you are playing. Wildlife was abundant. Staff was so nice. I’d play this wver day if I could.
