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.

We fought the course, and the course won!

This really is a wonderful destination. The course is challenging, especially with the lost distance due to the heat and humidity and elevation, but that is unavoidable and provided plenty of challenge for my brother and I.

The staff were so lovely, and the range and practice area is immaculate. This place definitely understands hospitality and treated us well. I think we were the only people out on the course basically, and it was nice to play at our own pace and enjoy the surrounding views.

We would return, and I’d like to shake anyone’s hand that can get around this place even!

Gorgeous Tropical Jungle Mountain Course

Our first time, beautiful course. Challenging layout. Bunkers were a mess, 1st hole green was under repair; greens weren’t at their best - it’s low rainy season. That said, fairways were in amazing shape. Staff was very friendly & helpful. Great driving range and practice area. Bring bug spray, the course has creeks, ravines and plenty of our balls after today 🤪

Great scenery, rough greens

The views around this course are absolutely gorgeous. Only thing that takes this rating down a good amount were the conditions of the greens. The greenskeeper did mention that they were dealing with a pest disease which was the reason for the poor quality greens; however, it would have been appreciated to have been notified about this sometime before our tee time.

Weiskopf Course

It is rainy season in Puerto Vallarta. In fact, it rained the night before I played. Even though it rained the night before, it was not cart path only. The course was not saturated with water. Frankly, I was surprised the course was in immaculate shape, given all the rain over several days. I guess bottom line, don’t let the rainy season deter you from playing at Vista Vallarta.

A real gem

My wife and I played the Vista Weiskoph course for the first time and it was amazing. It was set up nicely for my 15 handicap and I was able to break 100. My wife plays forward and she did quite well.

The fairways and greens were pristine with staff busily mowing and manicuring the course. It rained the night before so a few of the bunkers were a wash. I really like the staff from bag drop, pro shop, starter, beverage cart and right to the gentleman that met us after 18 to help us load up. Super nice!

We will be back.

Paradise

The course never disappoints it takes a minute to get there but well worth the trip. I recently went to Cabo and played these courses are way better. The only negative was the greens but the girl at the clubhouse let me know they would be like that beforehand

Poor green conditions

All the greens have severe dead areas due to what appears to be grass fungus. Putting impossible.

Amazing course

Great course with challenging layout. Only complaint is many of the greens were “burned”

Brown patches covering 1/2 the green on several holes.

Nice jungle course

Fun course with generous fairways (usually) and scenic jungle views. Greens were slow and a little bumpy, with some kind of thin lines on them which acted like grain. Not sure if this was from aeration or what, but it affected speed greatly. Par 3s were all really good. Reviews suggested the Vista Vallarta courses would be a better option than the Greg Norman Vidanta course; I am guessing these holes had more variety and elevation than Vidanta but I suspect better conditions would be found at Vidanta: besides the greens, bunkers were not well maintained, combination of hardpan and wet sand. Rain from night before was likely cause here but still could have been better. Overall decent value for the money and it was a fast, fun round

Couples golf

I played with my wife who is a beginner but we had a great time because it is the slow season and we played after 1:30 which is the twilight rate. A little hot but fun. We are playing the Nicklaus course today.

Greens

Unfortunately the greens had been punched a few days or weeks earlier and were very poor. No mention of this by course. Disappointing as it has been a good venue in the past.
