About The Nayar Course at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta

The Nayar Course is an 18-hole, par-70 resort course at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta. Vidanta currently lists the course at 6,668 yards and identifies seven lakes and 49 bunkers as major features of the layout. The original course dates to 2001 and was designed by Jim Lipe; it was subsequently renovated through Nicklaus Design.

Bermuda 419 is used on the fairways and Champions Bermuda on the greens. The golf operation includes a lighted practice area, short-game area and putting green, together with a pro shop, club and shoe rental, caddie service and bag storage. The course should not be confused with Vidanta's separate Greg Norman-designed Vallarta course, which is also located at the Nuevo Vallarta resort and hosts the Mexico Open.

Origins

Golf was established at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta with the Nayar course in 2001. Contemporary regional tourism material identifies Jim Lipe as the original designer. The course formed the resort's principal full-length golf offering well before the later development of the Greg Norman Signature layout.

Did You Know?
The course predates the resort's separate Greg Norman-designed Vallarta course by roughly 15 years.

Design Philosophy

The present routing combines a relatively approachable resort configuration with substantial water and sand. Vidanta identifies seven lakes and 49 bunkers, while the course's Bermuda playing surfaces are suited to the tropical coastal climate.

Development

The original Jim Lipe course was later renovated through Nicklaus Design. The modern Nayar course is listed by Vidanta as an 18-hole, par-70 layout measuring 6,668 yards.

Today

Nayar remains one of the golf options at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta alongside the separate Vallarta and Lakes courses. Its supporting facilities include a lighted practice area, putting and short-game areas, equipment rental and a golf pro shop.
