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.

It’s a tough one!

If you aren’t striping your driver down the middle it’s gonna be a real tough course. Fairways are very narrow to start ( landing zone on first tee is about 15 yards wide) and the course slowly get’s more scenic and a little wider targets as it progresses. A lot of false fronts, so the red flags are gonna be tough to stick. Tons of wildlife and Crocodiles…like BIG ones…saw one eat a bird….so that was cool.

Fun Course, but a bit over priced

I have played this course several times now. It is a fun course that is an average challenge. One par 3 is next to the ocean, which is a really nice touch. The course did have some rough playing spots, with dead grass, but it was not bad.

The location is great, if you are staying in the marina area, or close to the airport. Would make an excellent place to play for a short weekend golf trip. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

My biggest complaint is the price. I have played at other golf courses in beautiful locations that were less expensive. Though I will say, I think because the price is fairly high for this course, there were not many people playing, so the pace of play was great. We did not have to worry about anyone in front it behind us.

Grow grass

It’s pleasant to play there but. 1.

Ground too hard now with too short grass. 2. Ranger should be around more. Two twosomes simply cut in front of us. 3. Caddies are great. Staff is excellent. General manager is good guy and around to manage

Excellent value

Loved the course. My wife rode along with me and because we played at 14:30, they gave us a little break on the rider fee. All in all, really great experience and would recommend to anyone staying near the area.

Monday golf

Lots of fun. We were matched with some friendly people from other parts of the hemisphere. The addition of the “starters/golf ambassador” was a real highlight.

Ok, not great.

All courses in Mexico are overpriced. This is not an exception.

Marina Vallarta

Played for the first time on Saturday. Not my favourite but that doesn’t make it a bad course. Too near the airport for me. Flights leaving every six minutes become a pain. Staff were friendly and welcoming and course in decent condition.

Play it and make your own mind up.

Marina PV course

A little overpriced, feels like a muni and course could use a little more maintenance, don’t expect to much service/attention that you get at similarly priced courses.
