Marina Vallarta Golf Club
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.

Mexican golf
First expect to pay more then in USA
Marina greens were in great shape. Having Crocidiles on the course is a plus
Marina Vallarta Club de Golf
The best feature of the golf course are the greens. Back 9 was completely redone earlier this year and were in pristine condition, although, very slow. The course was almost empty… No one in front of us and no one behind so it was like having our own private course at this time of the year!
Challenging
Greens were in excellent condition. Fairways had a lot of debris and dry in spots.
Marina Vallarta Club de Golf
As I said in my previous review, the greens were the best feature of the course. I just found out from a friend of mine that you had redone the back nine this year and while the greens were pristine, they were slower than I would like.
The sand traps were also great… Well maintained in the sand, while somewhat course, were easy to get out of… Second best feature!
I enjoyed playing the course and would certainly recommend it to others!
Marina Vallarta Club de Golf
The greens were the best feature of the golf course. I understand they were recently redone, and they were in pristine condition, although somewhat slow.
We played in 30° temperature, high humidity felt like 37° so that was tiring for an 83-year-old and 76 year-old! 😳😂
I had high expectation but disappointed
I didn't realize the course was in bad shape. Not becauseit rained the night before. Only front 9 was playable. Course is not well maintained. Not all amenities were available, even the range. My first time and wont go back.
Great Bang for Your Buck!
This was the 6th course we played while in Puerto Vallarta.It was by far the cheapest, but it was a pleasant surprise. Course was in very good shape, They supplied us with ice and water, which didn't happen on a course we played over $200 to play. Took our clubs to the car for us. It is in the middle of the city, tons of palm trees, very scenic. It was well worth the $33 we paid after all our Golf Now discounts.
Bad time of year?
Maybe just bad time of the year. Only able to play back nine since front nine were under construction. Maybe only offer a price for 9 holes instead of charging full price for 9 holes twice? Greens were good. Fairways pretty watery and muddy but it had been raining a lot past few nights. Service was great. No one else golfing but probably due to price
Arrived and was told that only 9 holes were available The front 9 was closed. They said because I booked through golf now.com that they would not honor any discount. If I had booked directly with them I would only pay $75 due to condition. We will obviously look at booking direct with the course going forward to avoid being disappointed and overcharged.
Decent play
Worth the $80 fee during May-August . But I would not pay the winter fees of over $160. Challenging course with plenty of water. Bring extra golf balls.
They offer caddies if you want to hire one.
Staff was wonderful, would come back for sure.
Course layout was difficult but not impossible for your average golfers. Price was great as I found some hot deal times….. they said right now is the offseason and the course conditions reflected that.
I would stick with deal times for April/May. I would 100% come back for the treatment from the staff alone. They were all super nice and spoke English and Spanish for those of us who weren’t bilingual.
It’s just not worth the money
The course layout is good very challenging but the price of the green fees are way too high the course sits empty from 7am until 2pm after 2pm the course is full of golfers why because the rates goes from $145 to $75 which it my opinion is still too high and to charge $50 for a rider is wrong $20 at the most
Our condo is on the marina course and I would rather play the Vidanta it’s cheaper and a far better course
