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
Fun course
Lots of water and crocodiles on the front and a little more forgiving on the back.
Poor value
The pace of play was very slow. There were people ahead of us that have never played golf before. The Fairways are in terrible shape. Our overall experience between slow play, no help from the staff. And poor condition of the fairways. This course is definitely not worth the money we paid..
Tropical Golf oasis
Lovely course, with interesting greens, gorgeous waterways and attractive par threes. I liked the men's locker rooms which had nice shower facilities. Rossi, my caddie, was a fantastic guide around the course and gave me some great tips. This course is truly a gem - a jungle Paradise in the middle of a city. Oh, and lots of crocodiles, turtles and tropical birds!
First time playing here
We had a 7:50 tee time . No waiting the group ahead of us were on a nice pace. So that we never had to wait. The grass was wet but what would you expect. They water at nigh the same as every other course..
We tee off at 7:40 tomorrow morning.
Never Again
Will never play this course again . Absolutely a rip off . Course was in very bad condition .
This was an average course and should be priced as such. $40-$50, not what we paid over $100.
Rip off
Do not play this course for the prices they advertise . It was a disaster for what we paid . Over $125 usd and the course was in terrible condition . No one was on the course . It is one and done for us . Rather play Vidanta . Course value is about $35-40 dollars .
Can’t say much good.
Booked last min for $130 each for a group of 4
Mowed. Grass everywhere. Terrible greens. Nothing like the photos.
Highly recommend better places on GP
Challenging traps and water hazards
Course layout was straight forward. A few dog legs definitely call for course management. Sneaky how trees move into flight path of ball! Course was a bit dry, but greens were fast and true. Traps had pretty course sand and caused a few issues with grains scattered across greens. Check your path before your putt.
Rental clubs were adequate, Callaway, TM. Bring a towel clean your grips and hands.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of choices in pro shop. Played twilight and both of us got around course in just over 2.5 hours. Kudos to gentlemen allowing us to play through. Nice to be on the course in December!
Fairly easy course and priced fairly.
DO NOT RENT CLUBS HERE. THEY WERE TOTAL GARBAGE. NOTHING LIKE WHAT WAS ON DISPLAY IN THE CLUBHOUSE. COURSE IS AVERAGE BUT FUN SCENERY AND WILDLIFE.
Always a good fun play
Play thus at least twice a season
Great fun with friends or family
Lovely club house with great food and view of 18 th green from outdoor covered patio
Great PV layout
You cannot relax and take any hole for granted. Danger lurks in every fairway and surrounding each green (I’m not referring to the crocodiles!). Greens are relatively small and well bunkered. There is enough water to claim a ball or two. So even though the course distance is not daunting, I challenge most readers to try to break 80 on this course!
Beverage cart service
I bought a michelada around the 7 hole the price was 95 pesos and i bought another one at 12 hole, my surprise was that the cart beverage lady said was 115, I asked why ahe told me that her peer who attend the front 9 holes charge me wrong price. It’s not the 20 pesos which is 1 dollar. But create confusion in the service and looka like they charge what ever they want.
But the club is great, the aervice great….
Probably the most overpriced golf course I have ever played.
Marina Vallarta golf Day
We have been golfing here for over 20 years every year. I was surprised to see how much it cost this time. Much more than previously. The golf cart were dirty too. The food is amazing. A little give-and-take and it turns out to be a nice day
