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.

Overall I really enjoy playing Marina Vallarta,

but for the first time they attempted to charge

me for hitting a few balls after my round. After

paying $198 for my round I found this very

annoying.

Marina Vallarta

Extremely nice course with great conditions, coconut palms, and crocodiles. Also a great amount of water and many tropical birds. Check in was quick and simple in a very attractive pro shop.

Poor

Starting with the tea boxes, you could barely put your tea into the ground to hold your ball. It was so hard. The fairways were full of dead spots the greens weren’t that bad. The club rentals were the worst set of clubs I’ve ever rented in my life last time I played there. The club rentals were new and nice and in good shape my putter didn’t even barely have a grip on it. It was so worn out.

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

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!
