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.

Convenient!

Overall the course is ok, not overly difficult, but super convenient if you are staying in the Puerto Vallarta Marina area as it is literally a 5 minute walk. Certainly overpriced for the conditions of the course, I would expect to pay 1/2 at a max even in resort environments! Go alertly and play in 2:15.

Bumpy greens concrete sand

The greens were punched several weeks ago, but were clearly not dressed properly. Crazy bumpy greens, impossible to putt. Bunkers were literally rock hard. Whole group resorted to taking drops instead of trying to hit out of them. Even the discounted tee times are ridiculously expensive. Staff was fantastic as always, but clearly new management is needed.

It’s a Mexican Course

It’s too bad the greens had just been punched because the rest of the course was in quite good shape. Way better than The Flamingoes and better value for your dollar.

Disappointed

Of course beautiful day. Staff great. Good deal with Golf Now. Course average at best. Sand isn’t sand. Green’s were just aerated, ball bounced all over map.. Course has slipped since we played it in 19. Thankfully we didn’t pay full price.

Fun Round

From the time I arrived I received great customer service my reservation was recorded all I needed was to give them my name no questions asked I had a great caddy after 1520 minutes on the driving range headed over to the first tee and had a 2 1/2 round of great golf.

Marina Vallarta Golf Course

Very nice course located conveniently in the city. Greens had been recently punched and sanded, fairways were well maintained, tee boxes were a little rough at times but not unplayable. Water does have plenty of crocodiles habiting them so stay away but fun to see. Not on the high end of service but staff was courteous. I would recommend to everyone.

Okay course

This course was just okay, but they also just punched the greens, but charged full price!!! Not cool... Crocodiles all over the place, so that's super cool and fun, but the course should cost not more than $50. Will not play this course again... Cart was also horrible

Only front 9 open

We payed a discounted round only to find out at the first tee that we would only be able to play the front 9 because the back 9 was under repair. We felt cheated by the fact that there was now disclosure of this fact. If we would know beforehand I would be considered my options.
