Vidanta Riviera Maya

This is 18 holes all par 3. It is in the Vindata "complex" which consists of 5 resorts. However you dont need to be staying there to book a tee time. If you tell security youre playing golf they will allow the taxi/car to drive to a dropoff location. From there you will need to take a 10 minute golf cart ride to the club house (the place is huge). Hope you brought some golf balls becasue the cheapest 3 packs available to buy are $15 and I needed more than one with all the water on this course. Pretty cool design on most holes but there were several that were very... mehh.. Service in general was exceptional. OVerall a good place to go if youre not wanting to spend all day golfing. THere was almost no one on the course and we finished our round in under 3 hours.

This description of the trip to Vidanta should acknowledge that the green fees were $55 on a hot deal from Golf Now. Even at that low price, I was surprised at the overall condition of the course. Aeration had taken taken place a week ago so that left the course a bit beat up and slow. But there is no excuse for hard, wet packed bunkers and the general messiness of the course - no leaf blowers in use lately. Lovely staff and a good design means this could be a little gem but the lack of focus on course conditions was disappointing.

Found this course on my GolfNow app a couple of years ago and it has become a must do when we visit the Riviera Maya! First of all the staff is very helpful and friendly. They transport you to the course once you arrive at the resort. I DO WISH they could provide transportation from my resort. We always rent clubs and they are always a great set in wonderful condition. For the fee well worth it! The course itself is well layed out. It is challenging but doable! I will continue to make time to golf here each year because its always such a fun experience!

This is a nice Par 3 course, except it was just punched and sanded on the greens and around the greens, so conditions were pretty bad for the day. However, the course itself is very nice.

Really fun and challenging par 3 course.. Lots of water and sand with beautiful surroundings.

For a par 3 course, Vedanta plays tough! Used every club but my 3 hybrid and my all retriever (water was too green to see any balls. Loads of iguanas including one extra large male guarding the flag on the 9th. A great day!

The grounds were poorly maintained. For being in such a tropical climate, the dead and dying “greens” were surprising. Staff was rude, and trying to get service out there was impossible. Definitely will not make the mistake of coming back here again.

This par three chorus has holes ranging from 85 yards to 220 yards. It’s a great way to spend a morning or afternoon on vacation in Maya Riviera. Something like 14 of the 18 holes involve a water hazard so bring lots of golf balls. The Jack Nicklaus design ensures that there are sufficient number of demanding golf shots to keep even the season player challenged. I got a hot deal on GolfNow for $66 for 18 holes, a pretty good deal, considering the nearby Mayocoba course is something over $300. The staff are very friendly, and the on-site restaurant was excellent. The one downer about this course is the process of getting onto and out of the Vindata resort reservation. We took a taxi then had to transfer to a mini bus at their arrival station and ride out to the course, so it was a bit of a hassle. By the way here’s a word of caution for the 18th pole. The hole is laid out such that the Seabreeze affects the ball as soon as it arrives above the tree line. So it’s an extra one to two clubs to make the 170 yard carry to this island green.

It was my fault for not researching the course prior to booking. Upon my arrival I discovered that it was a par 3 course. #'s 13 and 14 were the only enjoyable and challenging holes. Nice layout for a par 3 course but definitely not for me......

Everything about it is excellent. Great par 3. Lots of iguanas!
