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.

The staff was friendly and helpful, the course was not n great condition, greens were okay. I had expected a little more lush and green perhaps my expectations were too high. For the price it wasn’t a good value.

Fee for wife riding

All was great except I had called the day before and was told that there was no charge for wife riding in cart, but when we arrived the girl charged us $44.00 for my wife! I told her that I had called the day before and she said that the lady was wrong. Not fair to pay $44.00 just to ride with me!!!! So wrong!

Always fun course to play

Played the course 6 times in 3 weeks while in Puerto Vallarta. Tried to book with Hot Deals but every time they tacked on sales tax and fees that they don't charge on other tee times. Practically no advantage at all. Always fun to play this course with the crocidile holes. A little short staffed but the people who did work really hustled to keep things moving.

Marina Vallarta Golf Course

Nothing put a goat pasture. Save your money, leave your clubs at homes if this is a vacation.

Fairways OK ... Greens not bad ... average muni !

Bunkers are horrible, it's beach sand that is harden. You'd get more forgiveness from asphalt.

In LA ... this would be $45 US at Lakewood. It's a mirror of that course.

Terrible but they get away with it as it's the long game in town.

Didn't Finish

It took 4 hours to play 12 holes. We were well on our way to a 6 hour round so we quit. The marshall blamed it on one slow group and was sympathetic. We have played here a number of times and it wasn't this slow. It is frustrating that they would allow one group to ruin everyone else's rounds.

Rental clubs

I dont understand why rental clubs are do bad. We had a wedge that snapped in half. I had to beg for a lob wedge. Ther had four woods and a 4 and 5 iron. One wedge with higher loft fhan a pitching wedge. I had to fo to a ma ager to get lob wedge. The clubs looked like they had been used 1000 rounds. That was the premium set.

I love the alligators!

A course that need love

Great paiste, considering we played at 14:45. Green in good condition. The maintenance of the rest of the court is poor. Many water hasards did not have water in. Cart paths in bad shape. Too bad because the location is great.
