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.

Beware of the Crocs! Photo submitted by dharvey13 on 07/19/2016
Fiasco with the GPS led to miss holes
The GPS system was not functioning so carts would lock up. In order to keep pace of play, we skipped holes, shots, etc..
The staff was unhelpful and not apologetic, or owning it for the course, but rather blaming the GPS and not there, inability to turn it off Keep it off so carts don’t get locked up.
The course Played pretty well However, it does not look like the course in the photos.
I Other courses in the area and Around the city Which were way better and more friendly. We won’t play this course again.
Course condition
Course is in great shape greens are perfect and fast
Good golf fun
Fun time met some great people playing a very enjoyable round
Watch out for currency exchange!
The course inflated our $USD89 round price to $USD99 by giving themselves 19 pesos to the US dollar. As I write this, most places are giving 17 (xE 16.7 11-Jan) pesos exchange.It doesn’t sound like much of a difference, but it’s a $USD40 grab on your foursome
It’s a well-located course with all the Crocodiles you want to see, it’s too bad they decided to go a low route on currency exchange.
Tho much sand traps
If you like playing in the sand this is the course for you
Golf in Puerto Vallarta
This is a very good course that is easy to get to and has great value for the money. It has a broad range of difficulty to appeal to a lot of golfers at various levels. The first hole is the number one handicap hole and things get a little easier on the back. They have done a great job recovering from a flood earlier this year and the place is in good shape. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Great place to play.
Golf on the beach in Puerto Vallarta
A really good course close in near the airport. Staff is really great and it's a good value for the money. You start off on a par 5 that is the number one handicap hole. After that the course is very balanced in terms of difficulty. Harder than a pure recreational course but not as tough as a tournament course. Easy to get to and reasonably priced.
Nice Enough Course
I'd like to say that I both enjoyed the round that I had and also think that it's a little bit overpriced. Some fun holes to play, but a little beat up.
One thing to note as a local. They don't take your gov't issued ID as proof of being a local. They want you to bring a utility bill in your name. -eyeroll-
Mixed
I play here fairly often and sometimes I find the conditions below what I would normally expect. Compared to my home in Canada, PV golf seems more expensive and the conditions are worse. Grass on greens and tee boxes has been scalped., divots have not been filled by staff bunkers are stony, trimmed brush is pushed to the side and not collected.
The staff are great and the club house is fantastic, though the locker room is an ice box!
Warning to the first time players, there is a lot of water so bring extra balls. The crocodiles {and they are BIG] restrict opportunities to fish out a ball.
Fairways in rough shape, course needs attention
We’ve played the course once or twice a year for a decade. This is the roughest we’ve seen it.
The starter was excellent. The people at the bag drop were non-existent. We carried our bags to and from the taxi. It seems if you are not a member, you don’t exist. For the price, service was well below expectations
Also, the fairways have a lot of dead areas (to big to call them spots). Tee boxes are beat up and greens had a lot of pebbles, etc
People don’t seem to think they should rake the sand trap after playing
Enjoyable course but for the pace of play.
The course layout is enjoyable and is fun to play on vacation. It is quite challenging, with a fair amount of water. The course is generally in good condition. The round was spoiled by the pace of play. We waited on every shot on the last few holes on the front nine, and the whole of the back nine. The course lends itself to a 3.5 hour round or less, but ours took over 4 and a quarter hours. I would enjoy playing it with a good pace of play.
Staff very friendly and helpful grandsons 1st time golfing treated him well
Great place in the middle of the city.
It was very interesting to play with challenges for focusing, but fun. The airport is a couple miles from the course, and there are iguanas and wild birds around, but it gives more thrill to the experience. The temperature this time of the year is phenomenal to be outdoors, is hot, but not as hot as summer, is a very comfortable weather to play in. Considering that you could literally walk from any of the hotels around to the golf course, is a very accesible place to play.
