The Nicklaus Design Course at Vidanta Puerto Penasco

You won’t be disappointed in this gem of a course. Challenging and beautiful. Outstanding staff made the visit even more memorable.

A beautiful course, with a challenging layout. Certainly this course rewards being in the fairway. So many great tee shots and the ocean views from the greens, don’t make a bad putt feel so bad.
I would recommend this course to any visitors in Puerto Penasco. Stop at one of the Mayan hotel restaurants and the pool after your round.

Was only were able to play the front nine. The back nine was closed due to maintenance. I didn't know this until I checked in. The staff insisted that it said it when I booked but I went back and looked and it didn't say anything about it. Not that big of a deal I played the front nine twice, if I had known I would of went on a different day or chose a different course. They also don't offer any food options while you are out there. It was a slow pace, over 5 hours due to them allowing a group of ten to play together in front of us. Some type of lunch options would have been nice to have.

No heads up that there were only 9 holes open. Security entrance did not advice that check in was in the hotel lobby. Drove all the way to golf course to find out that I needed to check in at hotel lobby..

Played there about 5 years ago and the road to get to the course was still in horrible conditions. You need an SUV to navigate the road

The ocean views are tremendous. The course was in immaculate condition. Every green was in top notch shape. The paspalum greens were so plush I had to touch it to see if it was real grass. To play this type of course in the U.S. you are going to pay well over $500.00 a round. Staff was excellent and added to the wonderful experience. We will play this course again without hesitation. The course obviously was designed with the ocean winds taken into consideration, which played into my course management while playing.

First a shout out to Charlie the bag drop guy.. Always smiling, friendly, and helpful.. Beautiful course and condition. Anyone reading this move up one tee box from your normal. Between the constant wind from the ocean and lush fairways some of the holes can be very long..I’ve been golfing 42 years and this course has some of the best view holes u will find anywhere.. Enjoy!
PS reminder proshop is inside of resort instead of at course because of major storm damage. Need to check in there.

Course was amazing, only hick-up is the pro shop at the course is not open, so we had to drive all the way back to the resort to check in. Still not a big deal but they could have put up a sign or something.

The course was in excellent shape in mid April! Played here 3 weeks ago and the fairways were in transition and a little rough. 3 weeks later and the course was in amazing shape! The staff checking in and the team on the course were outstanding and the service was great top to bottom including the giant burrito's!!!

We had a blast playing this course! Challenging but fun!

Very scenic and challenging course. Love playing this here and will be back again!

Great layout. Beautiful scenery. In good but not great shape. Limited on course snacks.

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

The course is rated as one of the top courses in all of Mexico and the Caribbean. I don’t know who rated it but this is misleading as it definitely not even close to being a top course.
