Marina Vallarta Golf Club

Wonderful time but a group scheduled 1 hour after us snuck on and delayed everyone

It was weird to be talking to your front desk staff about our Canadá Golf Card Discounts that actually list your golf course, and they did not have a clue of what that was about. Instead, one of them just said that it did not apply, which is not true.

We called the day before to book a caddie to join us, and we were confirmed by the front desk that we would have one. Instead, we ended up fighting for a caddie with another customer, a situation that was far from pleasant. There was a discrepancy for the caddie fee between the caddie and the front desk (the caddie being less) which we also found very suspicious.

Course was tight and played long, greens were in good shape, lots of water with crocodiles chilling around the edges, pins were pretty tucked when I played. Golf here is expensive, was priced average for the area it seems. Had to pay $44 for my wife to ride along with me in a cart I already paid for, pretty lame. Would still probably play again but I preferred the Vista Vallarta course.

Course was in good shape. Friendly staff and always welcoming from start to finish. Play this course every time I visit!

I played with two other golfers. We were finished in four hours so the pace was reasonable. The course has new greens on the first ten holes. They were very receptive to shots, maybe a bit firm. I hit several shots to the back of the green that found the water. That's one thing in abundance on this course. Anyway, I had a fun time. I'll be back.

Have played this score several times and I keep asking myself why I go back. Proximity is the answer to where we stay in Puerto Vallarta, but this course is in fair shape at best. The greens were furry… Very slow. The layout is more than challenging… And not necessarily fair. Pay $200 per person for a 9 AM teatime… Played the front nine in two hours which was great and that quickly turned into a five hour round with nothing but wait times on every tee on the back nine. The course is Marshalled but obviously they don’t do anything about it. After check-in was asked if I wanted some water and I said yes… That’ll be six dollars please. I just paid you $200 green fee and now you want three dollars for a bottle of water… Come on.

For the price this course was terrible. Played more like a county municipal course in the states. Fairways were torn up and were weed plagued. The course was backed up all round and the marshal kept pushing us to pick up pace, only to be stuck at the tee box with the group ahead of us. He came by 3 times to tell us to go faster, but there was nothing we could do.

Oh, and the crocodiles are no joke. Huge and numerous, just hanging out in the course next to the water.

I recommend you pay a few more dollars and pick a better course.

We were the first ones to tee off. It was definitely a great experience beautiful golf course. All the greens are well taken care of the views are spectacular. It’s definitely a little pricey, but it’s worth your buck especially when you’re golfing in Mexico oceanside view. I also rented out the clubs brand tailor-made. Definitely going to be be back for another round on my next vacation
