Marina Vallarta Golf Club

About
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.

Beware of the Crocs! Photo submitted by dharvey13 on 07/19/2016
Mexico golf
Course layout was good. Tee boxes were worn. They needed to be moved more often. Greens were smooth and rolled well. Very good speed. Fairways needed to have additional seeding done. Had to roll ball at times to find better grass. Areas around course could use cleanup. Very nice driving range. Beverage cart gal was very nice. Food in clubhouse was excellent. Played in the afternoon for $95.00. Course is not worth paying any more.
Tough little. Ourse
The Marina Vallarta course is well located in the Marina area and easy to get to. Fairways are narrow and you have to play with precision. There are crocodiles lying around on most water holes and one has to be careful not to get to close. Good value for money and a nice challenge.
Nice layout but scruffy
Played several times, decent layout some fun holes, one par 3 by the beach, lots of crocodiles and iguanas. The fairways can be patchy but the greens are very good and on the fast side. Starter got us out an hour early, lots of beverage girl visits, course marshals very friendly. I would say $125 US would be a good price for a 9:00 time, we paid $140 using my GolfNow member app versus $170
Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink
Lots of water and crocodiles. Had a fun day lost 3 balls to water hazards and not even trying to recover them.Fernanda golf cart girl was friendly try and support her on your round
amelioration
Il y avait un Marchal 👍pour vérifier les groupes lents ,
Nice golf course with a lot of water
The course was fun to play it has a lot of water the fairways were a little sketchy as far as their condition but the greens were in very good shape
Tough and Narrow but Fun!
Disclaimer: In my first year of golf with a 25 handicap so my review may not apply to more seasoned golfers.
This course was challenging with narrow fairways, “hilly” greens, and a lot of bunkers - I know because I found them all. Made a few ball donations to croc infested waters as well. Saw loads of crocodiles and turtles in the course. A trip to the zoo 🤝 Round of golf. Great value for the price if you go in the afternoon. The fairways need some work but the greens were decent with a few dry patches here and there. Staff was incredibly friendly! Would go back!
Must Play Once!
For a 20 handicap golfer, this course is extremely shot oriented. Do not attempt to play this course without a bag full of balls! Shots landing on the green do not hold, numerous traps and water hazards on every hole. Be an accomplished golfer and be willing to shell out a couple hundred bucks to enjoy the crocodiles and the views. Be sure to take water when you go, there is no water on the course.
Save your money
Don’t play this course. Crappy all around course conditions.
Many better options in the PV area to play…Villa Vallarta, El Tigre, Vindanta, Punta Mita.
Not worth the time or money
We found this course to be BY FAR the worst course we played in Puerto Vallarta. The course conditions were terrible with damaged greens, brown fairways -‘d rocky sand traps.
The course doesn’t have GPS on the carts but was fairly well marked in the fairways and cart paths. Staff was friendly which is the only reason I didn’t give this dump a 1st at across the board.
I’ve played both courses at Villa Vallarta, El Tigre, both courses at Vindanta and Punta Mita and will NEVER play Marina Vallarta again…..even for free
ist time at Marina Vallarta
Course was decent staff were friendly club house was closed when we came off the course was disappointing
3 hr 45 min round
We got out as a twosome a little early and by the time we finished, there were 4 open holes behind us. Thanks for letting us go before the slow pokes!
Wather
I played at 1 p.m., at each hole, there was someone watering and you had to play between the sprinklers, and no marshal to check the forsom which are very slow!
