About Hotel Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta

Located on beautiful Banderas Bay, Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta are two well-known all-inclusive resorts that offer a wide variety of amenities for every type of traveler. Because they’re sister properties under the same ownership, guests can enjoy luxury suites with garden, golf course, or ocean views at either location, along with transportation and access to amenities at both resorts. Casa Velas is an adults-only resort that offers a peaceful, upscale atmosphere with three restaurants and bars, several pools and Jacuzzis with concierge service and VIP access to the exclusive Táu Beach Club. Guests can unwind at the world-class luxury spa, which features treatments and hydrotherapy circuits, or stay active with swimming, tennis, beach volleyball and a full fitness center. Right next door, Velas Vallarta is a family-friendly resort with various restaurants, daily buffets and gourmet dining options, along with fully stocked minibars. Guests can stroll through lush tropical gardens, relax on the beach, swim in one of the three pools, or enjoy a game of tennis or basketball. There’s also a Kids’ Club with fun, supervised activities designed just for younger guests. Golfers staying at either resort have access to two nearby clubs. Marina Vallarta Club de Golf, designed by Joe Finger adjacent to Casa Velas, is an 18-hole course that offers incredible views of the Sierra Madre mountains, Banderas Bay and the tropical coastline. A half-hour cab ride away, Vista Vallarta Golf Club features two 18-hole championship courses, one by Jack Nicklaus and one by Tom Weiskopf. The Nicklaus course sits at a higher elevation and offers panoramic views of Puerto Vallarta, the marina and the bay, while the Weiskopf course winds through jungle, ravines and creeks for a more rugged, scenic round.

Carts

Was not impressed that you have to buy a drink to get a cooler of ice for the cart!

All other courses around give you water and a cooler with ice for free.

Local course in Puerto Vallarta

this is the local course for us. The conditions are fine, except the bunkers are hard as rock and full of stones. Greens are nice, unfortunately, since many tourists play here players tend not to fix ball marks. Many, many crocodiles on the course, but they are mostly inactive, but I would not go too near the water.

Watch how you pay

Nice course again, professional staff. We got stung on the bill by asking for the round price in pesos. They simply took the US dollar price and multiplied by a conversion 30% higher than the current rate. Cost the two of us $100 extra. Quite the rip off.

Vista Vallarta

Played the Nicklaus course yesterday.

Quite a fair test of golf with wide fairways and protected greens. Good conditions with nice green surfaces. Club staff was great.

Enjoyed our round but must say it’s an overpriced experience at VV.

But to be fair, that’s just the way it is during high season in PV.

You’ve got to pay to play anywhere !

Play there if you like Crocodiles!

A decent course in Marina area, lots of wild life and I saw at least 15-20 crocodiles. One was blocking my cart's path while enjoying the sun on a bridge. Some local golfer following me helped me and moved this creature to the lake. Course was not maintained well.

One of the best I have played

I went to Scotland and played at Carnoustie. It had lot of history but I didn't enjoy it as it was long and straight and deep bunkers might challenge you sometimes. But this course in Puerto Vallarta was excellent. Very well designed by Jack, challenging but fair and above all it was maintained so well - immaculate. Only criticism I had was that bunkers need more sand. Overall loved it . Paid much less - US$169 due to discount from the resort I was staying in. I thoroughly enjoyed it, so much that I played two days in a row and third day I played Tom Weiskopf course which was also nice!

Golfing in January

2nd round of the year on our hot holiday. The course had a few holes that were dug up because of maintenance on the irrigation system. Greens were beat up because people didn't repair thier ball marks. On the plus side the views were excellent, lots of crocs, nice ocean view. Beverage carts were readily available. Staff was very friendly. Would definitely consider playing again

Marina Vallarta

Haven’t played the Marina course in at least a dozen years.

It was a lot of fun to play once again.

The greens have been re done recently and are in great shape.

Pace of play was good. Staff were all friendly.

Lots of wildlife to be seen, especially the iguanas and cocodrilos !
