Hotel Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta

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

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!!

You cannot relax and take any hole for granted. Danger lurks in every fairway and surrounding each green (I’m not referring to the crocodiles!). Greens are relatively small and well bunkered. There is enough water to claim a ball or two. So even though the course distance is not daunting, I challenge most readers to try to break 80 on this course!

I bought a michelada around the 7 hole the price was 95 pesos and i bought another one at 12 hole, my surprise was that the cart beverage lady said was 115, I asked why ahe told me that her peer who attend the front 9 holes charge me wrong price. It’s not the 20 pesos which is 1 dollar. But create confusion in the service and looka like they charge what ever they want.

But the club is great, the aervice great….

Probably the most overpriced golf course I have ever played.

We have been golfing here for over 20 years every year. I was surprised to see how much it cost this time. Much more than previously. The golf cart were dirty too. The food is amazing. A little give-and-take and it turns out to be a nice day

We have played this course for over 8 years. Course knowledge helps a great deal. There are loads of bunkers in the fairways and around the greens. The greens are a bit inconsistent, however the course installed a new type of grass on the back nine (and presumably will do the same with the front nine by next year), which is a big improvement. We love seeing all of the wildlife around the course. We will play this course again!

Incredible facility with great warm up area. Got lucky and played during a large pro-am tournament. Conditions were awesome. Played once before and was even better. A good test of golf with some picturesque holes. Mooi Buen!

I have no idea who is writing reviews for this course… certainly sounds like paid bots.

This course is a very poorly conditioned municipal golf course, at best.

Far more value to be had playing any other golf course in PV.

To be avoided.

Nice course. Caddie not mandatory but wanted one and none available.

So disappointed...no crocs! Only iguana. Lots of water water water. Glad played with local guy who knew how to traverse this course while golfing and driving cart.

Hot and humid and lots of mosquitoes. This watery course tougher than Nayar and Vidanta. Condition not as good as those 2 but ok.
