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.

Sweet

Overall, a very nice golf course we had a single in front of us who was slow then he joined up with another single I let through and they were not much faster, but we got our 18 holes in just in time the last hole was a little dark the overall condition of the course was very good Greens are exceptional and very fast.

One of the best in Puerto Vallarta

Both Vista Vallarta courses are very nice. The Weisskopf course seems to be a little less busy. Course conditions were excellent. I suggest to take a caddy, he can help considerably with green reading. One of my favorites in PV.

Stuck behind five some

We caught a five some on around the 4th hole. Our four some was held up every hole the rest of the way. Obviously, the five some either had no clue about golf etiquette or they did not care as they never offers to play through or split the five some up. No ranger came around for us to complain to. We had a late tee time, so we were concerned about finishing the round.

Tough and Narrow but Fun!

Disclaimer: In my first year of golf with a 25 handicap so my review may not apply to more seasoned golfers.

This course was challenging with narrow fairways, “hilly” greens, and a lot of bunkers - I know because I found them all. Made a few ball donations to croc infested waters as well. Saw loads of crocodiles and turtles in the course. A trip to the zoo 🤝 Round of golf. Great value for the price if you go in the afternoon. The fairways need some work but the greens were decent with a few dry patches here and there. Staff was incredibly friendly! Would go back!

Vista Vallarta is amazing

Overall the Weiskopf golf course that I played is fantastic the only suggestion I have to help improve that course is you need to get some more sand in the bunkers they were very hard panned with a lot of rocks. Also, I'm only guessing that that golf club is losing money there was hardly anybody there playing the course. Another suggestion lower your golf rates and rely on volume rather than big bucks for people to play. I will be back to play there again maybe the Nicklaus course next time.

Must Play Once!

For a 20 handicap golfer, this course is extremely shot oriented. Do not attempt to play this course without a bag full of balls! Shots landing on the green do not hold, numerous traps and water hazards on every hole. Be an accomplished golfer and be willing to shell out a couple hundred bucks to enjoy the crocodiles and the views. Be sure to take water when you go, there is no water on the course.

Save your money

Don’t play this course. Crappy all around course conditions.

Many better options in the PV area to play…Villa Vallarta, El Tigre, Vindanta, Punta Mita.

Not worth the time or money

We found this course to be BY FAR the worst course we played in Puerto Vallarta. The course conditions were terrible with damaged greens, brown fairways -‘d rocky sand traps.

The course doesn’t have GPS on the carts but was fairly well marked in the fairways and cart paths. Staff was friendly which is the only reason I didn’t give this dump a 1st at across the board.

I’ve played both courses at Villa Vallarta, El Tigre, both courses at Vindanta and Punta Mita and will NEVER play Marina Vallarta again…..even for free

Possibly the best course in Puerto Vallarta

This is an outstanding Golfer's course. Interesting layout with some unique holes, memorable shots, nice up and down terrain with challenges along the way, but nothing crazy hard that'll make you want to shake your head. Debatable which is better - this course or the Nicklaus on the same property. Either way, you can't go wrong. The staff, range, carts w/ GPS, views of mountains and jungle all make for a really fun and interesting track. Definitely recommend!

3 hr 45 min round

We got out as a twosome a little early and by the time we finished, there were 4 open holes behind us. Thanks for letting us go before the slow pokes!
