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.

Completely disappointed

When you show up to the course in which you've already paid for online and over half the course is under construction and they don't say anything prior to booking is awful practice. Golfnow app and the the golf course should be ashamed. Friendly staff at least .

Tough little course

Bring lots of balls. This course is a ball eater. If you don't like a lot of noise, this course is not for you. The airport is close by and the planes fly over every 5 to 10 minutes. Weather was perfect as it was warm but the wind kept it cool enough to play comfortably.

Love this place

This is a great golf course! There are crocodiles around the course and some times you have to just drop another ball, but they are friendly and don't bother the golfers. Very fun course to play.

Enjoyable round

Front greens had been punched but that was made clear when booking, back greens were very nice. Overall good condition for off-season, very quick round. Staff were great. But no food available after at 5. Lots of crocs and turtles to see. Overall enjoyable.

Fun Times

Aside from the fact that the front 9 greens had been punched (necessary maintenance), the course was in good condition and well laid out. Some of the greens are well protected by water - coupled with afternoon breeze that made for some challenging play. Beware the right side of the 18th green - everything runs away into the water. I'd play again at full rate.
