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 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.

Excellent challenge and fun to lay

Second game this week - greens just as hard to figure out and course just as challenging.

Very pretty holes, lots of iguanas & crocodiles.

Recommend trying this course - good prices relative to other courses in the area.

Challenging and fun to play

Very nice golf course, in good overall condition and very challenging to play - especially the greens which are grainy and tricky (albeit a bit slow - but they do roll true). The grass , especially in front of the greens is like Velcro so the “ bump and run chipping “ game is very difficult.

Lots of wild life around to look at - birds, iguanas and crocodiles.

Friendly staff everywhere.

Will play again.

Marina Golf Puerto Vallarta

Beautiful course, challenging layout for my skill level but liked it a lot. Fourth time golfing here. Very friendly staff, well marshaled. Rate of play was good. Get to see some interesting wildlife different from Canada, including a few crocs. Hole 12 in particular. Don't go looking for your ball in the ponds!!!
