Changes will also happen to the course. The Vidanta Vallarta Course, a par 71 measuring 7,436 yards, will be rerouted to place greater emphasis on the final stretch of holes. The revised routing brings holes 18, 9, 1, and 10 into a tighter competitive core, improving flow, broadcast sightlines, and on-site movement while preserving the strategic demands players expect from a TOUR venue.For golf enthusiasts, the resort has two 18-hole championship golf courses.
