Hotel Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta

We had a 7:50 tee time . No waiting the group ahead of us were on a nice pace. So that we never had to wait. The grass was wet but what would you expect. They water at nigh the same as every other course..

We tee off at 7:40 tomorrow morning.

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.

Will never play this course again . Absolutely a rip off . Course was in very bad condition .

This was an average course and should be priced as such. $40-$50, not what we paid over $100.

Do not play this course for the prices they advertise . It was a disaster for what we paid . Over $125 usd and the course was in terrible condition . No one was on the course . It is one and done for us . Rather play Vidanta . Course value is about $35-40 dollars .

Booked last min for $130 each for a group of 4

Mowed. Grass everywhere. Terrible greens. Nothing like the photos.

Highly recommend better places on GP

Course layout was straight forward. A few dog legs definitely call for course management. Sneaky how trees move into flight path of ball! Course was a bit dry, but greens were fast and true. Traps had pretty course sand and caused a few issues with grains scattered across greens. Check your path before your putt.

Rental clubs were adequate, Callaway, TM. Bring a towel clean your grips and hands.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of choices in pro shop. Played twilight and both of us got around course in just over 2.5 hours. Kudos to gentlemen allowing us to play through. Nice to be on the course in December!

The course is in good shape as usual. Wide forgiving fairways but undulating greens make it difficult for good scores unless you hit your approach shots on the correct side and level.

DO NOT RENT CLUBS HERE. THEY WERE TOTAL GARBAGE. NOTHING LIKE WHAT WAS ON DISPLAY IN THE CLUBHOUSE. COURSE IS AVERAGE BUT FUN SCENERY AND WILDLIFE.

Beautiful setting staff was great if you're high handicap play the senior tees

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)

This is a challenging layout in the mountains, but in the afternoon I got a great rate and the course was nearly empty. The practice facilities are very good. I spent an hour practicing and 3 hours for my round. I wish all golf was similarly timed!!

Play thus at least twice a season

Great fun with friends or family

Lovely club house with great food and view of 18 th green from outdoor covered patio
