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.

Vista golfing

We have always enjoyed playing both the Nicklaus and Weiskopf courses at Vista Vallarta.

It’s a shame that most courses in Puerto Vallarta over charge for golf. I mean hundreds of dollars per person….hence why many of the courses are quite empty.

Don’t they realize that lowering fees would bring in more golfers PLUS potentially more beverage cart, pro shop and restaurant revenue. I’d rather have 150 golfers at $100 each ($15,000) plus food beverage income, than 50 golfers at $250 ($12,500).

Where’s their financial expert?? I mean you have to maintain and fund the same staff either way! Oh and let’s add in club rental fees too!

Why not try it for a season or two?

best experience I had over a week in Puerto Vallarta

I played a solo round, and finished in around three hours.. I shot 95 from the Blues (which is about normal for me) and the course conditions were great, and everyone was super friendly and helpful..

it's a bit out of the way from the city, but well worth the Uber ride.. maybe just a bit more expensive than I would like, but that's all of the Puerto Vallarta courses, so I wouldn't hesitate to play this course (or the Vista Vallarta Nicklaus course that I played in 8/2022) again

Traps

We love both courses at Vista Vallarta and you can find good values through GolfNow. The one thing that brings this course down is the sand in the traps. It is literally the worse sand that I have even experienced, it would be better suited as concrete aggregate. Extremely large grain sand and full of pebbles and rocks.

Overall a great experience. Unfortunately our food order took an hour and a half.

The course was good value. Nice layout and good greens. Too bad about the crappy service though. Food took forever (over an hour and a half!) and it’s a small thing but kinda irritating that you only get water for your cart if you play the Nicklaus Course. A small water bottle isn’t included in Carts on the Weiskopf course. It’s the little things. And that’s just next level cheap. If they upped their service game the experience would be way better.

It’s a Nice golf course though.
