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.

Great day at PV Marina

A challenging course layout with enough sand and water to keep you on your toes. Fairways firm, greens fast and in good shape.

Our foursome had a great day!

Alligator fairway

Love playing this course, its got great fairways and beautiful water features throughout. Watch out for the Alligators, they are huge. The greens are great, fast and challenging. We played in the afternoon where the rates were better, but it was hot, we loved it. We plan on returning to Puerto Vallarta and this course is the closes to downtown and its one our favourites. Great staff and restaurant.

Fun course

Marina Vallarta is always fun to play and super convenient to get to from town. While the fairways and rough are not perfect (with different types of grass throughout the course), the layout makes up for it. Almost a guarantee you will see Crocs.

Fun layout

Played in the afternoon with the locals. Staff put us out on the back nine which was appreciated. Fast play; lots of variety in the layout. Saw several crocs; several water holes. Overall maintenance was average but layout and good rate from Golfnow make this a good choice.

course was in better than average condition, they were having a big tournament the next week. We always enjoy playing this course. They appear to have a limited maintenance budget.
