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.

Gotcha!

If you hit your shots the way they should be, you can score well. If you hit a bad shot, it can haunt you for the rest of the hole. I have payed here for 18 years, and even though you know the course, there is always something you didn't expect, especially when you hit a bad shot!!

Terrible

The biggest problem with this golf course is the pace of play and the staff in the pro shop. But mostly the price for what you get. The course itself is about 3.out of 10 worth $40 Canadian at the most. We bought a 10 pack for $830 American but tee off only after 1:00pm when we could have bought a membership for $878 American and tee off when we want. This wasn’t even offered to us by the crooked pro shop staff. And people teeing off after 1:00 don’t get the luxury of a marshal to hurry players along. So your stuck having to put up with ridiculously slow play. Six rounds out of ten took Approximately 5 1/2 hours an absolute joke I wouldn’t recommend this course to the worst player I know. This course is absolute money grab and it’s really not suitable for the average player. I will never play this course again There are too many below average players on a daily basis. No thanks I give it one star

Challenging course

Lots of enjoyment playing this course. It will punish you with water, sand and tres if you don't stay in the fairway. Thats what makes it fun to play.
