Vidanta Nayar Course
Nice course over all. Very very spread out. Not a good walking option.
Great Course
Unfortunately the back 9 was closed so I played the front 9 twice. Was happy with the course and my caddie was awesome (thanks Hector). I had a little trouble finding the entrance to the course. Give yourself extra time as it's a 2 km drive from the entrance and then you need to be shuttled to the pro shop and then take the cart another 10 min to the course.
Course closed front 9 without notifying me
First off, the good. Caddie Manny was amazing, great personality and extremely knowledgable about the course. Staff was great from check-in to completion.
The bad, the course closed the front 9. Did not notify myself of these changes and this closure caused a 5+ hour round. The slow pace of play caused by poor management of the facilities was a bit of a let down. As previously noted, great staff but administration dropped the ball.
Expensive
Course overall was in good shape. Staff friendly, but high tips are expected. Not good value for your money
Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta Nayar Golf Course
Excellent track with outstanding caddies. Play in California 200x a year and found this track really special.
Definitely will play again soon!
Endless travel between holes
Long cart distance between some holes, caddy mandatory..... to find our way on the course between the holes more then helping us with our game.
Enjoy a beautiful golf round
Lovely golf round with caddie Ignacio, who helped me to considerably better my score. Enjoyed some nice pars, suffered a bit in the bunkers, all in all a lovely golf afternoon. Can't wait to be back
Lovely golf round
A lovely round with caddie Ignacio. Was happy about some nice pars, the fairways in excellent shape, greens bit quick for me, bunker tough, all in all an excellent golf day. Resort shuttle fast and pro shop staff very friendly. Can't wait for the next round on Friday.
Good not excellent
Played here twice this week and enjoyed both rounds. Great facilities and caddies (mandatory one per foursome). Stayed on site and teed off early so had no issues with getting started. There is a good mix of holes but it is very apparent that the course has been cobbled together from different times and architects (with different types of grasses used - at least three varieties). As I understand it, only half of the original Nicklaus layout remains intact, which is why his name is no longer associated with the track. Redevelopment at Vidanta removed several of the original holes and shortened it to a par 70. It does feel like a patchwork quilt, especially the front 9. Conditions were pretty good, although not as consistent as the Norman course.
Great conditions, playable for all levels
It was a good price through Golfnow! The course was in excellent condition. Very playable for all levels! It would be nice to have the option to have a caddy or not. Being it was was my first time playing this course, it was very helpful.
I'd rather play the Norman signature again
Enjoyed the course but I prefer playing the Norman course. The back 9 was a mix of challenging and easy holes. The 18th hole was a par 3 - I prefer to end with a par 4 or par 5. The Nayar course is less challenging than the Norman course. It was weird that the one of the holes on the front 9 was a long distance between green to tee box.
Great layout and conditions.
Our caddy, Campo, was fantastic. The course was in fantastic condition and the layout was fairly wide open which makes it fun for less experienced golfers. We had a lot of fun and would recommend to everyone however it is an expensive round unless you can find a deal. Overall it was a great experience and we are playing a archive round tomorrow on the Norman course. I look forward to it.
Long on time. Short on carts and range balls.
Golf ought not be an ordeal. We arrived and waited 25 minutes for a shuttle. After a 15 minute ride we waited to pay. We then waited 20 minutes for golf carts. After getting to the range our carts were taken away. We had to then wait for range balls to become available at the range. Then we had to wait for carts. The caddy is mandatory and necessary. There is no possibility of finding your way from green to the next tee without one. The signage is unhelpful or not there. The course is incoherent with one par five less than 400 yards. The greens are inconsistent. The food cart has no protein but plenty of alcohol. Give this place a pass.
Nice flat tourist track
Greens are fast
Nice course to score low on
Lots of nice view
Great wide fairways to drive the ball down
