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.

It’s a Mexican Course

It’s too bad the greens had just been punched because the rest of the course was in quite good shape. Way better than The Flamingoes and better value for your dollar.

Good day

Everything was really good except the cost to rent clubs was over the top. Otherwise the golf itself was really good. Great staff and sights and wildlife. Lunch prior was good too.

Challenging and fun course.

Lots of water and traps. Nice staff and generally in good condition.

It would be great if they offered a 9 hole rate. As an older golfer it is sometimes difficult to finish 18.

Marina golf at a decent rate.

I played this course with my relatives for the second time in a week. This was a late afternoon start time that was half the normal morning price and we got done prior to sunset so it was a great value. The course is in great shape and well maintained.

Single golf outing while in port

On a cruise and in port from 7:30am-3:30pm. Saw that the course was somewhat close to the port and decided to golf 18 by myself. Took a taxi to the course, about a 10 min ride in the am. Arrived and went to the club house, needed to check in and rent clubs. They had TaylorMade and Callaway for options and I used the TaylorMade I35 irons and woods. Very nice rental set but it did cost $70. Got paired with three randoms and they were great to spend a round with. I would say the back nine is much more difficult than the front nine, and there are huge gators on this course, very different wildlife than back home! Cart comes with booking the round and the practice facility (driving range and putting green) were decent. Mats at the range with range balls available no cost comes with the round. Little soggy wet spots in the fairways nothing too bad but had some mud balls. Nice restaurant to grab a bit to eat/drink after the round. Security at the front entrance waived down a taxi for me to get back to the ship. From ship to course and back was about 6 hours and the ride back had traffic but only took 15 mins. $25 for each way, not the best value but it gets you there and back no problem.

Carts

Was not impressed that you have to buy a drink to get a cooler of ice for the cart!

All other courses around give you water and a cooler with ice for free.

Local course in Puerto Vallarta

this is the local course for us. The conditions are fine, except the bunkers are hard as rock and full of stones. Greens are nice, unfortunately, since many tourists play here players tend not to fix ball marks. Many, many crocodiles on the course, but they are mostly inactive, but I would not go too near the water.

Watch how you pay

Nice course again, professional staff. We got stung on the bill by asking for the round price in pesos. They simply took the US dollar price and multiplied by a conversion 30% higher than the current rate. Cost the two of us $100 extra. Quite the rip off.
