The Grand Mayan and Mayan Palace - Vidanta Puerto Penasco

Other than sandy greens, it was in tip-top shape. Always a treat to play here.

Unfortunately the drive to the course from town was not worth the time. The golf carts were a joke. What you would expect at a $15.00 muni. The tee boxes and fairways were terrible. I will say the greens were in good condition even although they had been top dressed. It is too bad the sea views should have made for a beautiful day. We were a group of 8 and all had the same opinion of our experience. I will not be back and won’t recommend it to anyone.

We played Vidanta Puerto Peñasco back in November 2019 and really enjoyed it. This time not so much. The conditions have deteriorated significantly.

It’s a fantastic layout that is unfortunately marred by next to no maintenance. The greens and fairways are infiltrated with weed grass, the carts are the cast offs from Vidanta's other courses and there are few on course amenities. The partially constructed clubhouse remains partially constructed, the gravel roads and parking lots are still gravel, it looks abandoned and in terms of support from Vidanta it probably is.

If you are are coming from outside the resort and purchased your green fees on Golfnow expect to be pushed aside if there are any resort guests on the tee sheet. We arrived early for our tee time after seeing that there were many openings ahead of us (we called first and we’re told we would be able to advance our time) but when we arrived the starter insisted there were 2 groups ahead of us. We waited about an hour without any groups teeing off. When our tee time was imminent the 2 groups arrived and the cart person and starter tried to load their clubs and hustle them out. The two groups told us that their times were after us and didn’t even want to go ahead so the starter reluctantly let us go (a couple of minutes after our scheduled time).

I would give the Vidanta course a pass in favor of Las Paloma’s which was in much better condition.

Easy check in and nice range to warm up before the round. Course was in very good condition and would be a lot more fun if not for the winds coming off of the ocean. Despite the strong winds, it was a great day. Bring some extra balls, you are going to need them!

The golf carts are very old and should be up graded or replaced. Parking break didn't work half the time twice now. They should also have windshields due to the wind and cold Jan and Feb.

We had a 12:30 tee time. At 4:45 pm, when we were on the 18th fairway, a guy comes out in a cart and tells us we need to leave because they were closing. We asked if we could finish the last hole of our round and he said no! Made us pick up our ball and he followed us out! It wasn’t like it was getting dark. Absurd. The carts are in very poor condition as well. I’m done with this course.

This course was by far the best course if traveling to Puerto Penasco area. Incredible views along the course of the ocean.

Course is in terrible condition

Tee boxes and fairways are terrible

Greens could also use some work though better

Needs water and fertilizer badly

This is an amazing course, the downside is that the score card has no pictures of the holes, nor are there any at the tee boxes. Basically we were playing blind. The clubhouse was closed so we had to check in at Mayan Palace. It's a shame because the clubhouse looks really nice. There was no cart person driving around the course but the toilet facilities are top notch. Overall it's a great place, just a few minor improvements needed.

Was the only golfer on the course at 10am due to fairly high winds which lasted the entire round, about 20 mph gusts. The staff at the course was very friendly. Had to check in inside the Mayan Hotel lobby then drive to the course a short distance away. Booked round on golfnow which saved $25+.

Course was in fantastic shape and had 5 holes along ocean, A++. Will return on my next trip to PP.

Golfers may want to avoid playing if winds are over 20 mph as its hard to reach the par 4's and balls will drift OB. I normally play from white tees but with wind played from lady tees which was a much better option. I am 14 HDCP and shot 88 with the serious wind. Still had a great time. Course is about 45 min out of Sandy Beach hotel zone but worth the drive.

Course was in great shape with very few players. However, the golf cart was Terrible. The steering was very loose, making it dangerous to operate. This facility needs new carts.

well maintained and greens are beautiful. great ocean views. we will be back

$73 bucks for a perfect course right on the ocean is un heard off. I've been golfing this course for 20 years, doesn't get much play, being its a little out of the way, but worth the drive.

I have played this course 10-15 times. We had a tee time at 12:30 but didn’t get out til 1:20. There were not enough golf carts. We waited for morning groups to come in for their carts. There was a small grill that only served burritos. The workers were awesome, but a delay cause of carts and slow played made us cancel our dinner.

Because we are in Mexico, that saw it as no issued just wait 1 hour and play slow.
