Not worthy of its Top 100 ranking

First off, Diamante is an incredible property, we had a great time during our 5 night visit. The facilities and resort staff are amazing.
The Dunes driving range and practice area really fun and you feel like you are somewhere special.
Caddies- we were 2 players. We specifically requested a month in advance a caddie that would walk with us and were told "no problem". 5 minutes before our round we were told that our caddie had a sore back and therefore could not walk with us. Furthermore, even though we were willing to pay for our own caddie to drive our cart so we could walk, they refused and only gave us one caddie for a group of 4 people. This may sound like a petty complaint but for $315 they could have handled it way better.

The course- while breathtakingly beautiful, the layout and routing seemed off. Bummer that all tee shots with drivers/woods literally plugged or spun backwards once hitting the ground. Like the layout didn't fit the conditions. Too many blind shots that seemed silly and contrived. Most shots to greens were all carry, no place to run shots up. To call this a top 100 course in the world reeks of corruption. Golf Digest must have been payed off for this ranking.
Comfort stations were ok at best. They should take a look at Quiveras stations and see how it should be done.
We played the Cardinal course the next day and it was spectacular. I would recommend playing Tiger's course and skipping the Dunes. Save your $300, play somewhere else.

Awesome

Not cheap. We paid $235. Worth every penny. So many beautiful holes. We teed off at 7:30am and finished in 4 hours 20 minutes. Could have played much faster but lots of places to stop and take pictures. Turf conditions were excellent, first time playing on paspalum grass. Our caddie was great and helped a lot with putting. One of the few things in life that lives up to the hype.

Great conditions for August. Lush turf. Receptive speedy greens. Played early 630. 3 hour round. Plenty of water stations. Good value.

Early Round

Greens were really nice early. By the back nine they dried out a little and got faster.
Pace of play was good.
Great setting and layout. First two tee shots fun, hitting through shoots of trees.
