The Mexico Open celebrates its third year as a PGA Tour event in 2024 having previously been part of the PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Throughout its short history on the circuit, it has been hosted at Vidanta Vallarta's Norman Signature Course.
As the name suggests, the course was designed by LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman, and opened in 2016. However, unlike many PGA Tour venues, the course is open to the public.
The Norman Signature Course is located along the Ameca River with stunning views of the Sierra Madre mountains. Meanwhile, it also boasts the longest golf cart suspension bridge in the world.
The course also features a healthy amount of water as players head towards contoured greens, which are invariably guarded by some huge bunkers typical of Norman's courses. Overall, there are 15 lakes and 88 bunkers to navigate, but, helped by generous fairways, it should provide a fair challenge for any level of player, depending on which one of the four tees you use.
The course is open to the public
It's not the only course at the resort either, with the Jack Nicklaus-designed Nayar Course and par-3 10-hole course The Lakes also options. Considering its status as a PGA Tour venue, though, the Norman Signature Course is undoubtedly the main focus.
Green fees range between $195 and $270 per person per tee time depending on the time of day you play, with the lower fee applying after 2.30pm. That includes a cart and one driving range token per round. Clubs aren’t included, but there is the option of renting a set for an additional $70.
