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.

Nice, pretty Puerto Vallarta golf course.

We golf once yearly while vacationing in Puerto Vallarta. Marina Vallarta is a pretty course, easily accessible near the port. It is kept in good condition and has many challenging holes. Seeing bird species, geckos and crocodiles is a bonus to golfing.

Marina Vallarta Golf Course

Nice and convenient golf course - pretty good shape - decent greens - only irons on the driving range right now, but that will change. Lost a few ‘water balls - but overall a good game. Nice Staff.

This course has a significant amount of water.

Good layout and challenging course. Blue tees are very difficult. I would play here again. Good value for a resort area. Also, we saw a lot of exotic birds and animals: crocodiles, turtles, geckos, etc.

Really fun!

My husband and I really enjoyed this round of golf . The course is beautiful and in great shape. Nice fairways and large greens. The course is challenging without being too difficult. There is lots of wonderful wildlife to see. The staff was over the top and good food to finish off the round. This is a wonderful golf experience .

Enjoyable round, do expect conditions on front 9 to improve

I found the course more challenging than expected but enjoyable. Several holes require a level of accuracy & the right distance. The only down side for me was condition of the front nine (hence my average rating on conditions). Lots of maintenance work going on clearing grass clippings off of fairways, palm branches & of course coconuts. That’s understandable with the recent storms that have recently come through. Back nine was in great shape and a great improvement to the front. Look forward to my next round.

Fun to play

The staff are always friendly and helpful when we arrive. Driving range is included in the price as well as the golf cart. The course is challenging and interesting to play. There are crocodiles on some holes so you must be aware and don't look for balls in the water.

Great value course in great shape

After shelling out hundreds all week to play the "resort courses" that weren't in good shape, Marina Vallarta restored my faith in value golf that is in great shape. Greens were rolling great at a 9-20, fairways were well manicured, and rough wasn't too bad. Course layout takes you around homes in downtown Vallarta and around crocodile habitats, so just beware of errant balls near the water. The breakfast sandwich is delish too.

9-Holes Open, Soo Bad

We booked an 18- Hole round and, upon arrival was notified only 9 holes was open for play. The thing here was that,no discount was offered even when I asked.

The course was soggy and virtually unplayable especially for this 64+ player on a cart-path only day in humid 90+ degree day.
