Vista Vallarta Golf Club - The Nicklaus Course

I came here with my buds for a bachelor party and I gotta say, this was the coolest course I've played to date. I highly recommend playing this if you visit Puerto Vallarta. It's worth it!

Every aspect was good except some of the bunkers needed some work and more sand.

Had just punched Nicklaus course so had the Weiskopf. Course to ourselves. Had a great time and can’t say enough about the staff. Would love to play during the peak season when they can cut the greens shorter. Still playable and rolled reasonably well. Fairways in good shape. Would have to play a few times to figure out breaks on the greens. Almost got my second ace on 180 yard par three.

The best parts of this course are the surroundings and layout. Beatiful hillsides and scenery and amazing wildlife make you feel like you are at Jurrasic Park. The conditions were pretty good. I've play more manicured courses for sure, but the greens rolled real smooth. The bunkers a painful here, but such is golf. A bit pricey, so I would only play again if someone else really wanted to or there were better prices. The staff is great and the breakfast to go in the morning was ideal.

We stayed at a resort and the concierge rate we received was about $40 more expensive. So happy we decided to check golf now. The course views were amazing and the Nicklaus course was extremely challenging. Expect to loose a lot of balls. The cart attendant made delicious bloody mary's.

I took the back way to this course and it was through a very rural part of the city. Chickens in the street and everything! You are in a very remote area and all of a sudden it’s a Nicklaus course. Course condition was awesome. Hard to find a bad lie. It’s an easy course and almost all puts are straight. I played in the afternoon because it was 79 dollars instead of 215. Had the course to myself. They didn’t give me water or have a cart girl until the 10th. I ordered tacos Al pastor and they drove them out to me. They were awesome! Then I looked up from my taco meal and a stray dog was there. He was nice but a little intimidating. He stopped following me after the tacos were gone. All in all it was a great experience.

Ended up playing the Weiskopd course as Nickilaus was full and a lil slow. Let us tee-off of #10. Plain sailing with no one in front. Such nice staff.

Nice people / Great track / Good food.

What more do you need?

Great layout, if you. Ant hit out of sand you may want to try another course. All greens protected by traps !

Great deal after 3:00 daily. Wouldn’t golf anywhere else in PV it has it all!!

I had a 3:00 tee time and had the course pretty much to myself. It was a challenging course for me with the amount of sand traps and the undulating greens. The fairway and greens were in good shape even though it was dry. Expensive to rent clubs but other than that I was happy with my experience.

Vista Vallarta may not have the sweeping ocean views of the some of the other PV area courses like Vidanta and Litibu, but the greens are unquestionably the best in the region ! Firm, smooth, virtually perfect rolls . .

The fairways are in decent shape; I haven't played in course in the PV area that has excellent fairways . . the bunkers, due to the Covid no rakes in or near the bunker policy, are often times not smooth or raked. .

The course itself is a mix of relatively easy holes with incredibly demanding ones . . it's a very stimulating, fun, enjoyable track . .

Carts are required, unless you are up for massive long walks to get to the 1st tee, and between many holes . . the views, albeit not on the water, are amazing . .

This is my favorite course in all of the extended Puerto Vallarta golf world :)

Played at 2:10 , had the whole course to ourselves.
Awesome layout never a boring hole.. definitely going back later this week…played the blue tees which was a good challenge..

Great day with perfect weather. The biggest problem was the condition of the roadway accessing the course. It was in a word “HORRIBLE. It is a shame because when the Senior’s Championship tournament was held there for 10 years, roads were great. Now it is like driving an obstacle course!!
