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.

Back to the Marina

We love the Marina course. The greens were great. The course in pristine condition. But the staff are the best. Super nice folks with a long history of golf service. Love to play here even though it’s tough. Bring a few extra balls for the water and the jungle.

Disappointed

The course was closed due to rain that morning. We booked online with our contact information provided and did not receive a call or email to inform us they were closed. It cost us $60 round trip from the resort we stayed.

Challenging Course

The course was challenging due to the windy conditions. When I went there were making improvements to the course and was not informed prior to going via email nor was it posted on their site. We got to go play the first nine holes twice to make up for the remaining course.

No Crocodile Warning

Book my tee time on the website. Had no idea the course was under repair.

Greens were good.

Front desk provided no warning of crocodiles. Should been made aware to all customers.

Under Construction

The back 9 is closed due to green repair. We paid for 18, but only played the front. They offered to let us play the front again, but not what we expected. Parts of the course were fine, but felt understaffed (possibly because it’s June and low season) and not well kept. The rough was Rough. Greens were nice and the fairways in good shape. We may play this one again when the full 18 are open. Won’t be rushing back though.

Awfull conditions and several rude maintenance workers

We lbad no idea that onl after we booked. If it was in the notes prior, we missed it. Most of the workers were great and considerate. Several others stayed on the course in front of us as we were hitting. One in particular was awful. He was grooming the green and as we were hitting from 100 yards away. He clearly saw us. When my wife was in a green side bunker 30 feet from the pin, he continued to circle the pin while she attempted to hit.

Completely disappointed

When you show up to the course in which you've already paid for online and over half the course is under construction and they don't say anything prior to booking is awful practice. Golfnow app and the the golf course should be ashamed. Friendly staff at least .
