Vista Vallarta Golf Club - The Nicklaus Course

Wonderful staff and course layout. A must for any golfer visiting PV. We used Golf Now to reserve our Hot Deal if $90 PP. Nor sure how these MX golf courses survive with regular rates of $209 each. Seems there’s rarely 20-30 golfers on each course every day. Seems lowering the cost in half would generate more business on the course, pro shop and great restaurant on site. Oh well, thank you Golf Now.

I can't exactly pinpoint why I like the Nicklaus course better than the Weiskopf course at Vista Vallarta. Maybe it's the tournament history, dating to the 2002 World Golf Championships-World Cup, won by the Japanese team of Toshimitsu Izawa and Shigeki Maruyama over the American team of Phil Mickelson and David Toms.

It's just got a great flow with constant views of the surrounding Sierra Madre Mountains and nice elevation changes. Bright pink bougainvilleas flowers were popping against the jungle foilage. It was beautiful.

Although the Nicklaus course is longer and hosted the tournament, the Weiskopf seems to be harder. You can lose more balls in the water/jungle and there's a tricky hole or two. Both had greens running viciously fast. If you only have time to play one, don't fret. They're both equally enjoyable. I just happen to favor the Nicklaus by a nose.

Always a treat to play would recommend it to anyone

Was looking to an alternative course than the Marina Course which Vista Vallarta (Nicklaus) fit the bill. The fairways could have been better condition but the greens were the best I have ever played. Great pace of play as this got done in less than 3 hours.

Played this and the Weiskopf course two days apart. Both great courses and if you can get the Hotdeal rate it is well worth it. Tee off from the tees which are best suited to your handicap. Also spend the $3 on the hole guide from the proshop. Some really nice holes. Pictures don't do it justice. Mountain type course with Ravines, carry's etc. but not that difficult if you play within your means.

Love the settings, and everything about it. One issue was our car ran out of battery to climb the hill after the 18th hole and we walked back to the club house. Otherwise we enjoyed our round. We played tha Marina Vallarta course after this and we wished we were back here playing this course instead.

Had a great day on the Nicklaus Course. Beverage carts were out, course was in great shape. They only drawback would be the rental clubs condition; they were very well used.

We really enjoyed playing this course yesterday. The course is wonderfully maintained. The fairways were great to hit from. The greens were very fast. Too fast for some of us. We were alone on the course and played in four hours and ten minutes. The views are spectacular. We had a great experience. I would highly recommend this course to others.

Greens Lightning Fast..... Very Nice Lay-out although There are Some Tricked-Up Holes I didn’t Love But Nicklaus Does that with Bunkering and other Gimmicks. The Course Plays Easier From The Blues Than The White. The White-Tees Takes Driver Out Of Your Hand To often, Even on The Par 5’s. The Course Biggest defense are the Greens. Caddies are Optonal Unlike Vidanta, But For $20.00 Bucks U.S. You Might Consider it Just To Help with Reading The Greens. “ Did I Mention The Greens Killed Me “. At Vista Vallarta The Nicklaus Course Is The Feature Course and also More Expensive, But The Weiskopf Course Has it Beat and Cost Less. ( On Golf Now Of Course ) And its Much More Scenic Than The Nicklaus Course. I’m Not Beating Nicklaus Up Weiskopf Is Just Better.

Good layout, somewhat difficult but fair. Fairways are wide enough to allow for some off shots. Course is in great condition, especially the greens.

Bring your camera to capture the on believable scenery.

We stay in Vallarta in more 20 vacations and no now tvOS Course

We like Play with my Family here is a Good Course , We are played all Course in Vallarte and Nuevo Vallarta but reís is excelente Course

The name, Vista Vallarta, is exact in the location of the course and the views available. This is very much a course with elevation changes in relation to other courses in the area. One key feature of this layout is the hazards off the tee, many of which are not visible from the tee. The starter was helpful and explained the first hole in detail but further into the round there was some other instances where course knowledge would have helped. The conditions were great with the greens being very true and holding an approach shot relatively well.

Note we played on a holiday (NYE) and the course was closing at 4pm. No notification was given of this (1:30pm hot deal) but luckily we showed up early enough to start around 12:30 and complete in time.

In very good condition, wide fairways, it was a pleasure to play it,

Played the Friday before Christmas and the course was very quiet. Made it around in under 3 hours and greens putted true and reasonably fast. Lots of topo and nice layout. You don't play next to the ocean and not much wind. Other than the difficulty of getting to the course it is nice change from Vidanta, Litibu etc all. Price is also a little strong which may account for lack of play.
