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.

Post hurricane
Post hurricane? Course fairways and greens were in great shape. Lots of fallen trees. Club lowered price to adjust for what had happened. Cart paths are in poor condition, restrooms were clean and rental clubs were acceptable for the price. Helpful staff everywhere.
Good but can better
Course overall is good, sadly half of it was flooded due to the hurricane.
Where there is things to be desired is with the staff.
Being a last minute decision to play, and they forced us to get a set of clubs per person, not the worst but a first for me.
All greens are open
It was great to see that all temporary greens are gone. The new greens are looking good but still are very sandy. The course is in good shape but the sand traps are still in terrible shape. They need to rake them when they are dry. They are lumpy with deep groves.
All in all it was a great afternoon and the course played well.
I highly recommend this course.
Great afternoon for golf
The course is in decent shape, the greens on the front 9 are starting to fill in after being aerated, although there are still temporary greens on 1, 10, and 14. The sand traps are pretty rough as they are not raked smooth.
There isn't much play in the afternoons so it makes for a very comfortable round. Especially if you like to hit multiple balls on certain shots. The beverage cart girls are very nice and attentive!
I highly recommend this course!
Greens punched on front 9
The course is in decent lshape. They still have 3 temporary greens ans the greens on the front side were recently punched so they are still pitted and sandy. Still, it was a delightful afternoon on the course.
Soggy afternoon
Played on Aug 31st in the afternoon. The fairways were very soffy, had to clean off the mud on every shot. Shoes were also covered in mud. It was cart path only. The greens were in good shape but everything else was saturated with water.
Not Worth It in August
Besides multiple temporary greens, the entire course felt like it was in repair. Fairways didn’t drain well after rain. Bunkers were full of rocks/water/mud. There were lots of maintenance workers on the course but none seemed to be tending to any of the course issues.
Last but not least, the food was country club pricing - not Mexico pricing. Even additional bottled waters weren’t gratis! On a bright note, the papas fritas that accompanied the club sandwich my fiancé had were excellent.
Mid tier course in Puerto Vallarta
Overall a true 4/5 star course. Condition of the course was good but the cart paths took you through several neighborhood roads that weren’t all ideal. Layout was good. Driving range was great. Snacks and beverages were great too. I would say this sits well as a middle tier course in PVR. I wouldn’t pay the early day green fees to play here again but would def wait until prices drop in the afternoon.
Renovating Greens
The course is in decent shape, but be advised there are 4 greens being renovated so they have temporary greens that are really not much. That being said, still a great value for PV. Vidanta is pricier and you must have a caddie, but the course is in much better shape
Very good experience
Great course, Caddy Rosendo very goog,friendly a knowledgable of the course
Great course, good value after 230pm
It was my first time playing this course. Loved the layout, has many challenging holes, lots of doglegs. The greens were in decent shape albeit a bit inconsistent. There were 3 temporary greens that are being completely redone. The Fairways were in very good condition and the traps were a bit rough but playable. There is lots of water and danger looms with these ponds, steer clear! You've been warned.
Overall, it was an enjoyable afternoon, make sure you stay hydrated!
Look forward to playing again with a bit more course knowledge.
Tough costal golf, good course.
Excellent service, really nice staff, the course had aerification on greens which by the way, were really difficult. Wanted to play this course for years, it was nice, very difficult costal golf.
Great rate, little difficult in the clubhouse before
Played here a couple times before without issue. This time they would not check me in until 40 min before the round. They say the computer would not them. Not sure it was the issue since playing here before I had no problem. I just hit balls while I waited which was great since you can hit all you want for free. It's a difficult course for me, it's pretty narrow and the wind makes it long in parts. Condition was good to fair. Still haven't figure out how to play the bunkers, they have large rocks on rough sand. Overall best bargain in Vallarta close to where I live.
Good course.. convenient to those vacationing in Puerto Vallarta
We enjoyed playing at this course. It was quiet with minimal players so no rushing but of course very hot! The crocodile habitats were a little unnerving but we never had any issues. The front nine has a couple beautiful oceanfront holes and the breeze there is nice. Staff and rental clubs were great!
Day in the sun
There were a few rough spots on the course but 90° heat will do that. The staff was very friendly and overall it was a good experience.
