Vista Vallarta Golf Club - The Weiskopf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Vista Vallarta Golf Club offers two championship courses, one designed by Jack Nicklaus and the other by Tom Weiskopf. The Weiskopf Course provides a dramatically different round from the Nicklaus design. The other golf course sits atop the property's highest elevation while this one is situated at the lower west end. As you step onto the course and see the dense jungles that sprawl across deep ravines, you will hardly believe that it is still the same property. It offers the same level of challenge as the Nicklaus Course but some high handicappers prefer this one since there are fewer blind shots and the greens are more receptive, making them not quite as tricky. The 15th is an uphill par 3 that is probably the golf course's most memorable hole. This challenging hole requires a carry past a ravine to multi-tiered green that is surrounded by bunkers on all sides.

Excellent course
This is an excellent course. Well-maintained with an interesting layout and great views.
Great course
Greens were great however they were slower than what I’m use too
Overall Fantastic - Would Play Again
Playing in July, past peak season, the course was in great shape. I played in 3 hours as a single, playing through one group.
The course layout is very fair, classic Weiskopf setup. A little tigther than the Nicklaus course, but never an unfair hole. The par 3s were all unique in distance and challenge. Playing from the blue tees i had par 3s ranging from 105 to 190 yards.
Overall the course exceeding my expectations.
Enjoyable despite the Price
Given its May and the course conditions are deteriorating due to the sun/heat, I still enjoyed my experience. Course was empty but that was due to the season, or possibly it is way OVERPRICED for this time of year. Fun to play but would not rush back at these prices.
Nice course and layout
The course was a bit dry/needs water, b I’m a very nice and challenging layout.
Perfect
Our favourite course in Mexico. Perfect conditions. Greens fast. Course to ourselves. Spend a little more money to spoil yourself.
Hidden gem! Loved the course so much, we booked the Nicklaus next day. Amazing track, friendly staff and incredible views of the surrounding mountains.
Perfect!
Of course beautiful weather. Spectacular course. Not a single complaint. Spend a little more for the best, just like anything in life. Can’t wait to play again, I think it’s my favourite. Good job staff! Thank you.
Beautiful mountain course . conditions were great . Cecil our caddy made our round that more enjoyable ...
Very nice overall
I hadn’t played this course in several years, and remembered very little of it. The views are beautiful, the course is impeccable condition, the greens are very fast, and on the day and time I played, the course was empty and I was able to play 18 holes by myself in a little less than 3 1/2 hours. Delightful! My only reservation about the course is that it lacks a bit in character. There are only one or two really memorable holes, one a scary par 3 over a deep barranca.
Overall, it was a really nice day, if a bit pricey even at the afternoon rate.
Beautiful landscape
I enjoyed a lot the landscape. Some holes very challenging, some quite easy, some good luck, some bad luck, some good play, some three puts - all in all an enjoyable golf round. Can't wait to play next week the other course.
Vista Vallarta Weiskopf. I’d play it again!
The course is a good layout and was in good condition, greens rolled fast and true. Breakfast was tasty. 26usd for a 3 ball sleeve seems steep. ..stop at Costco for a dozen.
