Rating 73.1

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.

Mariana golf course

Good course, no marshall. Foursome in front of us was sooo slow waited on every hole and they were 4 holes behind by eighteen. Group behind us gave up on the 15th. Too expensive to have this problem!!!

Very practical

Easy to book and play. The post 2:30pm rate is quite reasonable. Prior to that the rate is questionable but hey there’s obviously money around that can afford it! Course in good condition and presents a challenge. 1st is par 5 SI 1 which lulls you into false sense of security. Make sure you study the map of the short par 4 2nd hole before teeing off!

Bargain Rate in Afternoon.

The course is in great condition in spite of the problems they have had down here. Everyone's very helpful and friendly.

Not worth it.

We played at 3:00 in the afternoon and the pace of play was atrocious. We played the front twice or we never would have finished.

Very neat experience

If you’re scared of crocodiles, don’t golf this course. We saw at least 20 in 18 holes. Some were babies. Some were full size.

The course is beautiful

The cart paths are in real rough shape and need replacing.

It’s very expensive. It cost 80.00 usd to have my 5 year old play. That’s ridiculous.

Food wasn’t good, but the view was amazing.
