About
Marina Vallarta Golf Club is known for its stunning tropical landscape that is home to an abundance of wildlife. Golfers have the opportunity to play amongst iguanas and alligators while enjoying scenic views of the Bay of Banderas. The course is blessed with a bevy of natural hazards including towering palm trees, lagoons, and waterfalls. Colorful tropical flowers and native vegetation further accent the landscape. In addition to the natural hazards, there are also a few strategically placed bunkers along the greensides. The golf course offers a challenging but fair test that is not overly demanding, which is probably for the best since it is easy to get distracted by the beautiful surroundings. Given its versatility and scenery, Marina Vallarta G.C. has become a popular venue for various golfing events, including the Governor's Cup Pro/Am Tournament.

Beware of the Crocs! Photo submitted by dharvey13 on 07/19/2016
Enjoyable round, do expect conditions on front 9 to improve
I found the course more challenging than expected but enjoyable. Several holes require a level of accuracy & the right distance. The only down side for me was condition of the front nine (hence my average rating on conditions). Lots of maintenance work going on clearing grass clippings off of fairways, palm branches & of course coconuts. That’s understandable with the recent storms that have recently come through. Back nine was in great shape and a great improvement to the front. Look forward to my next round.
Fun to play
The staff are always friendly and helpful when we arrive. Driving range is included in the price as well as the golf cart. The course is challenging and interesting to play. There are crocodiles on some holes so you must be aware and don't look for balls in the water.
Great value course in great shape
After shelling out hundreds all week to play the "resort courses" that weren't in good shape, Marina Vallarta restored my faith in value golf that is in great shape. Greens were rolling great at a 9-20, fairways were well manicured, and rough wasn't too bad. Course layout takes you around homes in downtown Vallarta and around crocodile habitats, so just beware of errant balls near the water. The breakfast sandwich is delish too.
getting better
Course is still very wet. Storm cleanup of debris, downed trees continues. Greens are fast.
9-Holes Open, Soo Bad
We booked an 18- Hole round and, upon arrival was notified only 9 holes was open for play. The thing here was that,no discount was offered even when I asked.
The course was soggy and virtually unplayable especially for this 64+ player on a cart-path only day in humid 90+ degree day.
What water hazard??
Beautiful layout but because of all the rain we’ve had the course was really damp.
WET
The course was very wet this day. Kept it in the fairway for better shots. Green were in great condition and fast.
Nice Course
I had an absolute great time playing this course for my first round while visiting Puerto Vallarta. They recommended a caddie and it made perfect sense because not only was my caddie knowledgeable about the course he was equally knowledgeable about the alligators.! Great fun course
course closed
course was closed due to excessive rain the night before. Standing water on many parts of the course. Poor drainage.
Beautifully Manicured
This course is in great shape, hats off to the grounds keepers. The track itself has loads of characters with semi narrow fairways and good size greens that hold the ball Some greens guarded by water and Crocodiles so enjoy and be safe.
Vacation in PV
Finished my golfing in PV with a round at Marina. beautiful course that is challenging but fair. Nice fairways with a lot of bunkering and water in play on several holes. $99 price tag is somewhat normal for resort area. Will play again if I ever return.
Limit expectations
Not sure how it compares to others but not maintained as I would have expected for the cost. Not horrible layout but not great either. Avg at best abd as long as expectations are not too high, you can have a good time.
Great even though the greens were being worked. Very interesting layout!
