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.

Disappointed

Don’t wast your $ on this course. Try other ones with a much better overall experience, Among the five courses we played in PV. This turned out to be the worst one (Higuera #1, Vista #2, Tiger #3, Nayar #4). The course is not long, but the design is tricky. The fairway is narrow and lot of waters. The course needs some TLC. One of the holes was near a waste treatment area and smiles stinky. Lots of bare lands with no grass. I was very disappointed. Will not return to this one.

Marina Vallarta course

Course was Ok! Way overpriced for the quality of the course as Fairways had a lot of dead spots and the Greens were ok as they were replaced earlier in the year. The front nine and back nine greens were different speeds! I would never pay this much to play this course again!

Love the wildlife on the course!!

It is a very challenging course for higher handicap golfers with many bunkers and water around some of the greens. However still an enjoyable experience with very friendly staff for us Canadians who have to go back to winter!! Thank you!!!

Old Marriott course

The course has gotten better since being bought out. Pretty good shape but traps need a better sand. They use beach sand and is real course and heavy. Overall very good layout.

Very nice course.

Like women, where a 10 is rare, so is the course that rates a 5 out of 5.

Really nice course. We teed off at 2:20pm and the rate was $95. Well worth it at that price point. Early rounds are $245 ish. At that price point it is way overpriced.

Enjoyed our afternoon greatly.
