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.

The course was in great condition. The greens were a bit slow but still enjoyable to play. The staff members are very polite.

Disappointed to be honest

I accidentally erased my pics I took but we got a cart low on fuel and didn't notice until near end when really low on fuel and when u pay lots extra for club rentals for two ppl, the cart guys should give u a cart that had been cleaned yes???

This was fail one and we took an Uber 40 mins to get here.

There was so much litter and debris from the event before us that I was embarrassed on course maintenance and management in place.

I can't say I'll be back sadly to report. I did manage to play well enough though not knowing the layout. Just disliked all the empty containers etc etc and a large mushroom I chopped with my wedge on the fairway! How do mushrooms get missed by mowers?

Played the Nicklaus course last week and loved it. Caddie master said I should play the Weiskoff 18. Can’t decide which one I like the most. They are both fabulous.

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.
