PGA TOUR Golf in Puerto Vallarta: Watch the VidantaWorld Mexico Open, Then Play the Course Yourself
If you're planning a golf trip to Puerto Vallarta or Riviera Nayarit this fall or winter, there's an extra reason to put the destination on your list.
The VidantaWorld Mexico Open returns to Vidanta Vallarta from October 29 through November 1, 2026, bringing PGA TOUR golf back to one of Mexico's premier golf destinations.
And one of the best parts for visiting golfers?
You don't just have to watch PGA TOUR golf in Puerto Vallarta. You can plan your own golf vacation around many of the area's outstanding courses.
At Golf Mexico Tee Times, we help visiting golfers book golf throughout Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit before they arrive in Mexico.
The PGA TOUR Returns to Vidanta Vallarta
The 2026 VidantaWorld Mexico Open will be played at Vidanta Vallarta from October 29 through November 1.
The tournament gives golf fans an opportunity to see PGA TOUR players compete in Mexico while also showcasing Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit as serious golf destinations.
If you're visiting specifically for the tournament, keep in mind that the tournament course requires time for preparation before the event and breakdown afterward.
The Vidanta Norman course is currently scheduled to be closed from October 12 through November 3, 2026 for the VidantaWorld Mexico Open.
That makes planning ahead particularly important if you want to combine watching the tournament with playing golf during the same vacation.
Play Vidanta Before or After the PGA TOUR
The Norman Signature Course at Vidanta Vallarta is one of the area's most recognizable golf experiences.
The Greg Norman-designed layout plays along the Ameca River with views toward the Sierra Madre Mountains. The course combines generous landing areas with large greens, significant bunkering and the tropical landscape of Riviera Nayarit.
One of its most unusual features is the golf-cart suspension bridge crossing the Ameca River between Nayarit and Jalisco.

Don't Stop at Vidanta — Puerto Vallarta Has Plenty of Golf
If you're traveling to Puerto Vallarta for the Mexico Open, don't build your entire golf trip around one course.
Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit offer enough variety to put together a multi-round golf vacation.
Vista Vallarta Nicklaus
The Jack Nicklaus-designed course at Vista Vallarta sits in the foothills above Puerto Vallarta, with views toward Banderas Bay and the Sierra Madre Mountains.
The elevation and terrain give it a very different character from the resort courses closer to the coast.

Vista Vallarta Weiskopf
At the same facility, the Tom Weiskopf-designed course provides another 18-hole championship option.
For golfers planning several rounds, playing both Vista Vallarta courses is an easy way to experience two distinctly different designs without changing facilities.

El Tigre Golf Club
El Tigre is another major Riviera Nayarit golf option and can be an excellent addition to a multi-round Puerto Vallarta itinerary.
Water, bunkering and resort landscaping create a visually impressive layout, while multiple tee options allow golfers to choose an appropriate challenge for their game.
Flamingos Golf
Flamingos offers another option north of Puerto Vallarta and has long been popular with visiting golfers looking for a relaxed resort-golf experience surrounded by tropical vegetation.
Marina Vallarta
For golfers staying closer to Puerto Vallarta's marina and hotel areas, Marina Vallarta can be a particularly convenient option.
Its location makes it easier to fit a round into a vacation without spending a large portion of the day traveling to and from the golf course.
Turn the Mexico Open Into a Puerto Vallarta Golf Vacation
If you're traveling to watch the VidantaWorld Mexico Open, consider staying a few extra days and turning the trip into your own Puerto Vallarta golf vacation.
A sample trip could include:
- A day watching the PGA TOUR at Vidanta Vallarta
- Vista Vallarta Nicklaus
- Vista Vallarta Weiskopf
- El Tigre
- Flamingos or Marina Vallarta
Golfers traveling after the tournament can also add Vidanta once the course has reopened for public play.
Winter Is Prime Golf-Travel Season in Puerto Vallarta
The Mexico Open arrives just as Puerto Vallarta moves into one of its busiest visitor periods.
November through the winter months bring golfers from the United States, Canada and elsewhere looking to combine warm-weather golf with a Mexico vacation.
That also means desirable tee times — particularly morning times — can become more difficult to secure as travel demand increases.
If golf is an important part of your vacation, arranging your rounds before arriving gives you considerably more control over your schedule.
