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.

Beware of the Crocs! Photo submitted by dharvey13 on 07/19/2016
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!
Course was great. Caddie was excellent and very knowledgeable
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.
Meh
Reserving a tee time was quick and easy, I just wish that their mobile site was a bit friendlier. We were unaware of the steep rental club fee until arrival - and they were unwilling to negotiate. Be warned, it's $54 per set of clubs. Staff not overly friendly or helpful. We were placed behind some really slow players, so the pace was less than desirable. The layout and conditions of the course were great. Overall, just an okay experience.
Golf - Marina Vallarta - Puerto. Vallarta
What a goat pasture. While a tricky layout, for a rack rate of $159 and Golf Now for $120, leave your clubs at home.
Positives … greens are pretty nice. Service in bar was great. Club attendants are very helpful.
Negatives … more forgiveness on parking lot surface than bunkers (don’t take a swing in sand for fear of breaking your SW). Overall condition of course is garbage. Pretty equal facilities to LA public course for $45.
What a joke !
Tight, demanding layout. Hard for me to score. Good greens, fairways and tees only fair. Lots of burnout this year.
The courses in PV charge a lot for club rentals. Clubs are beat up and do not unclude gap wedges. They are a terrible value
Excellent Track
Great value for the money. Never gets old seeing crocodiles on a course.
Wonderful course
The amount of wildlife there is spectacular. The staff was friendly, food was good, course was perfect. The group of 4 in front of us waited for the group ahead of them to completely clear the hole, then all 4 of them would cross up the hole and hit their balls 50 yards at a time. Pace of play was brutal, but everything about the course was great! Obviously just a one off of the brutal golfers we were stuck behind.
