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.

Un parcours à jouer si vous trouvez un départ à rabais seulement

Bon dessin de parcours. Entretien manque un peu d'amour. Terrain de pratique ou le bois de départ n'est pas autorisé. Temps de jeu rapide en après-midi. Utile pour qui veut jouer à proximité du centre-ville. Rapport qualité/prix selon la proximité de la ville pour qui n'a pas de voiture pour se déplacer.

Challenging but enjoyable

This course is a great layout however you have to be able to hit the ball straight because the fairways are narrow and very challenging but enjoyable. The Front nine has a lot of water. Too bad the cost of golf is expensive in Puerto Vallarta

Great people and service

As usual Marina Vallarta course had very good service and friendly staff. The course was in pretty good shape although some of the tee boxes were in need of repair or at least more water.

Very challenging. Greens were better than I thought they would be.

The price with GolfNow was good. GReens are very good. Not long but tight with hazards. I’ll play there again.

Great day

Beautiful weather. Friendly staff placed my twosome with a single. We loved the layout and finished in 3 hours 45 minutes. One hole on ocean is lovely. Several iguanas and 2 crocodiles were close but didn’t bother us. Bring a few extra golf balls; water is plentiful.

Interesting wildlife

Very nice golf course, not particularly easy, looks are deceiving. Lots of water, which means you never know where you will see a crocodile! Greens well protected. Spectacular par 3 out to the ocean, should be their signature hole! Bag Boys are good, check in staff also good, biggest complaint pricing. If you don’t book through golf now very expensive, charge for water which is ok but if you want a cooler on the cart with ice they will charge fir that too. Bring your own water!!

Over priced Puerto Vallarta

Golf Course was in excellent condition, I don't believe it's worth a hundred and forty bucks to play, I can play this course in California for $39, having said that, all the courses in Puerto Vallarta overpriced.

Great Crocodile and bird watching!

Impressive crocodile family, one of them 3 yards long!

Nice bird watching.

Many lakes, sand traps and narrow fairways; challenging course, but very enjoyable!
