Vidanta Vallarta (Norman Signature Course)
Plan your round at Vidanta Vallarta (Norman Signature Course)
Vidanta Vallarta is Greg Norman's par-73 design at VidantaWorld Nuevo Vallarta on Mexico's Pacific coast, and the home of the PGA Tour's Mexico Open since 2022. It opened in November 2016 across the Ameca River from the resort — you reach it over what Vidanta bills as the world's longest golf-cart suspension bridge — and plays through native trees, waste areas, 55 bunkers and six lakes, with paspalum grass wall to wall. It stretches to 7,287 yards from the Black tees, and five sets of tees bring it down to 5,256. Jon Rahm, Tony Finau, Jake Knapp and Brian Campbell have all won here, and Norman's firm reworked holes 4, 8, 17 and 18 in late 2025 ahead of the 2026 VidantaWorld Mexico Open (Oct 29–Nov 1).
