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
Beautiful course!
Great round. Saw a crocodile!
The course overall is in good condition. If you stay in the fairways you can shoot a good round. Lots of water. The greens are above average and roll true.
Ahlf
Very tough course with lots of wildlife, including large alligators and iguanas. Bring plenty of balls as the water tends to eat them and not safe to play near water holes. Very beautiful course.
Good times; challenging course
Played here twice in late October. First time on the course. Overall it's a good challenging course. The biggest issues were the inconsistent greens. Everything was wet and slow (obviously). Comes with the climate. The greens were of various condition. The cart path and general maintenance could use some work. However, the fairways, bunkers and greens generally speaking were just fine.
Not having played the course, it was challenging knowing where to hit and where to bail. Lots of water.
The staff was great. Driving range was there too. American Burritos with salsa were awesome.
I would recommend and play there again.
Really Challenging Course
Very challenging course. If you can ignore the gators you will be fine.
Course management
Greens are very well groomed ,crocodiles were all on the back nine . Made sure you stay on the fairway or you will be be in trouble with the crocs if you disturb them . ALL GOOD , HAD A GREAT DAY.
Hermosa experiencia
Excelente lugar y muy bonito campo, los greens en muy buen estado, la naturaleza es exuberante y muy protegida, el servicio de primera, estamos muy complacidos
Location is only attraction
Its not a horrible course, location is close to PV and price is usually better but that is the only consideration for playing there. Missing the fairway will cost you, zero chance for shaping the ball back in play. Misses are often a double b at minimum. Make sure you bring everything you need to play, pro shop prices are just outrageous. The practice facility is excellent and all the staff there are also excellent and friendly. I Don’t know if the food is good but will guess that it is. If you want to play a course close to PV it will be fine, but it isn’t anything special. Ive played during high and low season. Never busy but the rates are always way too high for it. I don’t know how they do it but I have suspicions.
Marina Vallarta in July
The weather was hot and muggy, but that was expected in July. There were very few people on the course, so the pace of play was excellent. The staff was very polite and accomodating. All 4 of us rented clubs, the rentals were certainly functional, if not outstanding. The course had recently been aerated and appreciated getting a discount on the greens fees due to that. Did NOT realize in advance about the crocodiles everywhere, but that added to the experience.
Nice layout - very fair and enjoyable
Course fairways were excellent - enjoyed the round very much
greens were recently worked on but played fair
Nice traps and water
Fairways are not narrow - some other reviews report that - simply not true
Very solid
Staff very professional
