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.

Marina GC

Nice course, makes you think about your shots and possibly laying up due to water hazards. Staff are always pleasant and attentive.

Overpriced

First time playing this course. Quite like the layout. The lady at the front counter was quite nice as were the 2 starters. They got us out right away which was nice as we were an hour early. The tee boxes and fairways were very rough with not a lot of grass on either. The greens were not too bad. The worst part was the cost of drinks on the course. $15 for a drink is way out of line. That is why we normally bring our own. Would not play this course again for the amount they charged for the green fees.

Meh

We paid MXP 330 more than the conversion from Golf Now rate to Pesos. When we asked the pro shop about this, she tried to explain very curtly and quickly but we didn’t understand her. I paid anyway bec I figure we started earlier and it was worth more than what I booked.

The starter was friendly but that’s where the nice ended. The golf course was just okay, the pace was extremely slow and made golfing a lot less fun. I think a marshal would’ve been a good idea.

We asked the pro shop woman to call us a cab and she sighed ( as if it is super hard) before she did.

This was a very unhospitable golf course and I will take my $ elsewhere on my next golf trip.

Beautiful land lacking love

Nice location, nice challenge, nice layout, green in good condition but too slow. On the other hand, the grass is yellow, lack of love and maintenance, aging land, several houses bordering the land in very average condition, it is not good value for money.

Unfriendly staff.

You have to get the ice bucket your self and pay 100 pesos. They would not clean or take the clubs from the cart.

We have to go to main road to get the taxi.

If you have twilight time booking don't try to go earlier because they would check you in only 15 minutes early and wouldn't let you play early even if the course is empty.

Terrible to have to buy a drink just to get a bucket of ice. Green fees not worth it compared to Vista Vallarta

Has seen better days!

Ridiculously overpriced for a very poorly maintained muni.

A waste of time playing here.

Over-priced Pasture

Booked a $90usd round and ended up paying double that at the course; charge for a rider is $55usd and walking is not permitted, plus over 200 pesos in taxes.

The course is challenging - good, but the greens were patchy, sandy, or hairy. Very poor maintenance - patchy fairways and spotty cutting like it’s been chewed by goats rather than cut. The 4th hole on the ocean was lovely but all others were only ordinary.

Constant aircraft noise - approx. every 3 minutes a plane would takeoff.

No place to eat after the round.

No water provided in carts and none available on course except from beverage cart at a charge, of course.
