Vista Vallarta Golf Club - The Weiskopf Course
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.

Green fees are usurious ... great place to play if you can afford it, as there are no other people on the course.
Will not be returning until such time as the courses become more affordable.
Best golf course in Puerta Vallarta
The spot, the club couse, the staff, the golf course, the weather, everything was perfect.
Great day
Booked through Golf Now for more reasonable price. Beautiful course and views. Staff so friendly, great day!
Enjoyable
This is a very enjoyable course to play. Interesting holes, good conditions, beautiful scenery. My wife and I had a really good game.
Greens were fast, great staff, enjoyed the round very much.
Vista Vallarta Weiskopf course
Great conditions. Saw no one on the course. Beautiful views and friendly staff.
Definitely will return. Golfed here at least 10 times.
Very Nice!
This was the second time we played this course in the last few weeks. A beautiful mountain course, it's a great value with a Hot Deal ($75 USD) from GolfNow. The course is in excellent condition with not much traffic in the afternoon. A gem for high or low handicappers alike...just choose your tee boxes accordingly.
Nice Course Even When Wet
We played after hurricane Wilna passed by. The course drains well and is quite playable even when wet. We pretty much had the place to ourselves, so low season golfers should enjoy this course. Kudos to Golf Now for great service helping us reschedule an earlier time when conditions were not playable. I'd definitely return.
Tough course. Great caddy.
First time playing here. The course was in beautiful shape. I don’t think we saw another group on Our entire loop. No hold ups. We are not the best golfers 16 and 20 handicap and found the course quite challenging.
Our caddy Carlos was excellent. We had a great round. Shared lots of laughs and will be back again.
Good layout. Well bunkered
Nice course. Good looking holes. Tough but fair. A little pricey but livable with GolfNow. Good food and good practice facilities.
Beautiful golf courses at Vista
It’s not at its peak today but overall, one of the best courses in Vallarta.
Fabulous
Although the weather was drizzling, we loved the scenery and the course was in mint condition. Staff were excellent. Challenging, one of the nicest courses we’ve ever played.
Stunning
Course was well maintain. Great views of the mountain. Some tee are elevated. Greens are very tricky. Few par five are short that are potential birdie opportunities. Bucker could have been more softer. I had a great time.
Great course and layout
First time playing this course and really enjoyed it. The layout really makes you think and good course management can help you shoot a low round. Playing off the whites catered well for a group of mixed handicaps. The shorter hitters could hit their drivers and if reasonably straight they would be in a good position but meant the longer hitters may have to take irons to thread it through small gaps and lay up to nice distances. Would recommend if you can get a good hot deal. Hopefully trying out the Nicklaus later this week.
Fun in the Jungle
Loved the course and every single staff member from the starter to the cart girl to the bartender in the clubhouse is amazing!!!
Good
This is a great course for an express pace round. I’m a single handicap and love playing wherever I go. I don’t take things too seriously but definitely appreciate positive staff and the ability to get around a nice course in a good time, especially if it’s rather hot and muggy on the course. This place ticked all the boxes and I had a blast! It’s expensive and it’s 30 minutes away (minimum) from where you’ll be staying but it’s definitely worth it.
Course - Solid, great conditions, enjoyable layout that really tests your mid and short irons. Not a long tee shot requirement outside of a par 5 and par 4 on the back but plenty of 130 to 210 iron shots available. I loved this course and will play again.
TIP - Book the 1pm ish GolfNow rates as you’ll be back and ready for a 6pm dinner (if you wish) and feeling good.
Great course
Course was well worth the drive. Great staff very interesting layout and great condition.
