Fun Track

I play a lot of courses of various layouts, length and conditions. Yes, you do have to account for shuttle delays, some holes that take a bit of a drive to get to, but really enjoyed the round and our caddy Miguel was a joy to have.

Not worth it!!

The course was in marginal condition.
There are no signs directing you to tee boxes.
No idea how to get to holes.
To go to the 6 th and 7th hole is a 5 min drive with no direction signs.
A golf course worker had to lead us done there after we looked for it for 10 minutes.
This course should not exist. It’s an embarrassment to golf courses.

Mixed experience

The Course in good shape. The Nayar course wasn’t that difficult. Beautiful straight fairways, excellent greens and not many hazards. However, there is little signage and the holes don’t follow each other.
We got lost more than once. Staff could not have been more helpful but we shouldn’t have had to ask.
Really took away from the enjoyment of our game.

Greens very inconsistent

The bad news is once at Vidanta property, they really “get you” to have to take a taxi back if you are not staying in Nayarit. The prices have gone way up for that, not worth the trip there are all if you are in Jalisco.

Great golf

A couple of things that I don’t like my wife likes to come along and watch the fee for a rider is way over priced $50 us
The other is it’s hard getting in and out of the resort

Great track

Great track.. Layout just short of bizarre. Good thing you have to get a caddie. Signage between holes pathetic. Back nine is awesome.

Need a Compass

Front 9 is an absolute cluster. Pathetic signage. Staff is great. 90 pesos for a 20.peso beer. Really ?
Back 9 was a joy to play since you knew where to go for the next tee.
