Good Course, access bad, tip asked for.

The course was great to play and in great condition. Access into the course is difficult. Leave two hours ahead of tee time if you want to practice at all. Caddie is required. Although the caddie was good he asked my wife before we finished who would be tipping and how much. Had i known that earlier i most likely would have given nothing. That was not appropriate. We played a few days later and this was not an issue with our next caddie.

Bonus round

Be cautious as there are 2 courses at this site, the starter put me on the wrong course, but the staff game me another complimentary round on the Norman Course, which is much nicer. I shot well so my experience was fabulous (2 over par)😊🏌🏻‍♂️

Great course for $86USD, not $270USD

Great course, difficult to read greens but quite challenging. Fairways were impeccable, greens in perfect conditions. They were making some adjustments for the PGA Tour next month so there was a bit of works but nothing that would annoy play. Lots of water into play, great experience. Not sure I’d pay full price though.

A wonderful experience!

My 2 gal friends and myself thoroughly enjoyed our play time at -Vidanta - Greg Norman course. Our caddie was wonderful. It is such a huge facility you absolutely need a caddie. They are getting ready for the Mexican Open next month and it shows. I highly recommend this course!!

Not worth the headache

It takes at least an hour to actually get to the course itself once you enter the facility. They make you take multiple places as part of the check in process and require you give them your drivers license when you enter. Place is a total joke if you are a real golfer. Also did I mention the round took 5+ hours and they did nothing to try to help

Beautiful Course

This course was beautiful. The conditions were pristine, the greens rolled pure and no burnt out spots anywhere. They were preparing the course for the Mexico Open so the rough was very long which was fun to play out of rough like that. Our caddy we had has great 5 stars to Willy. This golf course wasn't just good for the price point it was great all around. But only paying $125 USD does help.

Very poorly run and disorganized

Made a tee time for 3 people at 2pm, expecting to finish as it doesn’t get dark until ~645. Upon arriving they made us wait on the range for an hour and we didn’t tee off until 2:48. 48 minutes late! How are you possibly that backed up? We waited on every single shot and decided to walk off after playing 10 holes in 3 hours. This is too bad because there is a mandatory caddy fee and the course was actually in good condition.

Had similar problem, we waited 45 minutes for a shuttle from the taxi drop off to get to the pro shop, left us only 20min to get checked in and use the range. There was THREE (3) groups on the every tee waiting....6 hour round. We finished in the dark and it was the worst round because of the wait everywhere AND NO FOOD available (for a 6 hour round)....Incredible lack of service for $270 round....I'd rather play Vista Vallarta for less than 1/2 the price and better service, course, carts, range, etc....
