Why Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta’s New Greg Norman Signature Course Is A Golfer’s Paradise

Get ready for a golf experience like no other at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta. Joining the already renowned Nicklaus Design Golf Course, the Greg Norman Signature Golf Course features 18 holes located along the beautiful beaches of Nuevo Vallarta between the western Sierra Madre mountain range and Banderas Bay. The 18-hole course is a golfer’s dream come true – and here’s why. 

• Greg Norman knows golf – after all, he spent 331 weeks as the world's Number 1 Official World Golf Rankings ranked golfer in the 1980s and 1990s. Since 1987, his Greg Norman Golf Course Design firm has created more than 70 beloved golf courses all over the globe.

• The Greg Norman Signature Golf Course at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta features unsurpassed course conditioning on wall-to-wall Paspalum playing surfaces, which are perfect for withstanding heat and humidity.

• The views are incredible. The exciting layout winds along the banks of the Ameca River providing panoramas of the Sierra Madres from every hole. It might be tough to keep your eye on the ball!

• Diversity is the name of the game. Large landing areas off the tee give way to undulating greens protected by cavernous bunkers. Indigenous Guanacaste trees, native grasses and lush jungle surround the core course layout. An added bonus: the course is uninterrupted by housing and civilization throughout.

• There’s no place quite like this – a fact that becomes readily apparent as you ride across across the world’s longest golf cart suspension bridge spanning the Ameca River from Nayarit to Jalisco.

• The closing hole is a fitting grand finale. A large indigenous tree frames the right side of the fairway. Long hitters can carry this tree for a perfect angle into the green and a look at reaching it in two. Mere mortals are smart to play left and avoid the fairway bunkers to set up their approach. The shallow wide green has three great hole location areas and is guarded by a small bunker in the front middle and mounds behind. A fantastic finish to your day with Vidanta Golf.

• The resort’s Pro Shop offers brand-new options, including top quality golf equipment available to rent, including Taylor Made M1 series and Aero Burners clubs.
• The “fairway fare” won’t disappoint. Golfers can grab a bite or beverage at Gastro & Golf, a new food truck featuring hamburgers, tacos, salads, quesadillas, burritos, and a variety of drinks.
• All 18 holes at the Greg Norman Signature Golf Course are open for preview play now! The resort will celebrate the grand opening this October with the First Annual Vidanta Celebrity Golf Invitational hosted by NFL, MLB and NBA superstars including Ray Allen, Warren Sapp and many more. A limited number of reservations are available, from $1499. Learn more
