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.

Great value for twilight

Golfed with 2 regulars and it was a blast. People who complain the course isn’t great or the club selection sucks need to get a life and realize this isn’t your posh country club. It’s a regular golf course with a ton of locals and regulars playing the course. A+ would recommend to a friend or family member.

Great course

We chose Marina Vallarta because of its location to the cruise port. It was a great course with a fair number of hazards but not too difficult for average golfers. Rangers kept okay moving. Overall a great experience.

Marina Golf

We really liked this course. The check in process was short and the staff was very friendly. The driving range and putting greens. We’re good to warm up a bit. The course itself had a nice layout. The greens were small but ran very well.

The scenery was beautiful along the beach, and the crocodiles kept us on our toes.

After we were done, we went in and had a beverage and an appetizer and everything was excellent.

We would certainly play this course again.

Pace of play

Pace so slow there were 4 carts on the same hole all day. We drove off the course on the 13th hole. Terrible value for the money.

Marina Vallarta GC is challenging

Marina Vallarta is a challenging and beautiful course.pace of play was slower than average. Beautiful course with ponds and wildlife, crocodiles.

Crocks just nap and don't bother the golfers.

Marina Vallarta Golf

Check in at the course was a problem. The course employee had difficulty printing a starter ticket for me & processing my credit card. When I checked my receipt at my hotel I discovered that she charged my card $79+ dollars US & not the $65 US I had booked on Golf Now! Very disappointed. 🙁👎

Course was in reasonably good condition. However, most of the greens were very firm & I had several shots land on the green & roll off the back. Greens did roll pretty good. Sand traps were a bit “thin” on sand. Fairways were generally in good shape. I will play there again in the future. Watch out for the crocodiles!
