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.

Christmas present from Mr Weiskopf
This course was ‘Fantastic’ with a capital F!
Scenic vistas on every hole.
Go off the fairway and 90% chance you’ve lost your ball.
Range and greens were well maintained in great condition.
We played Christmas Eve. When we got to the course we were told by cashier in the pro shop that the course was closing at 4.30pm, with our tee time at 2.30, we weren’t going to make even 9.
Fortunately for us we talked to the starter and they said they would wait for us to finish.
Brilliant job guys.
Vista Vallarta
The course was in great condition. Greens ran fairly quick and fair.
I rented the “premium” clubs and well they weren’t premium but in reasonable condition.
The staff were great and we had a nice day. It was expensive but that’s fairly normal for México. Based on the other courses in the area I would recommend this course.
Course Exceeded Expectations
Was pleasantly surprised.witb how nice the course was. I have played in Puerto Vallarta in the past and to date this was the best so far. Canceled my next reservation at another course to.come back and play the Vista Nicklaus course instead.
Wonderful course. I’ve been coming back to VV over the last 10+ years. Course is strategic and challenging enough for a high single digit player. Staff is extremely friendly (shout out to Daniela in the pro shop and Luis the friendly attendant). As a vacation course, it’s not exactly a bargain, but the afternoon prices are reasonable. Pace of play is pretty much dependent on you. We always played in the afternoon and never had a group in front of or behind us- although I notice a lot of players finishing up or making the turn when I arrive at 11:30 each day. Bunkers and tee boxes and greens are in great condition. This review also serves for the Nicklaus course (3 rounds on each course over 6 days)
Unique Course close to PV
One of my favorite courses. Most holes are unique in design. Not too long but deceptively difficult to avoid a double bogey (or two!). More fun than sister Nicklaus Course. Both have excellent practice facilities. Well worth the trip up into the mountains!!
Water and face cloths should be provided at no charge and without asking
AMAZING COURSE
Course was in great shape, tee’d off at 10am with absolutely no one in front of us. We did have a group catch up to us by hole16 but they were nice and easy going. We did lose a lot of balls even sometimes just off the fairway so be prepared to search or call of the search for balls. Found it interesting that all the looking we did for our balls we didn’t find any others balls left behind. The course had amazing views with great photo ops. I just so happened to record a shot on hole 8 which was one of the most senic holes on the course. Overall amazing course and would love to play again someday.
Excellent
The Weiskopf course is a great track with some challenging holes. Lots of FUN.
