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.

Marina is a challenge

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!

Fantastic conditions and a good test of golf

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!

Dog track

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.

Our experience was excellent - two days ago we were charged for water both at Snack Shack as we began our round and also by the cart girl on the course. Today we were not - much appreciated!!! In this hot environment - plenty of cold water is a must for the players.

Course is always in great condition (for a Mexican course) and pace of play great. Marshall came around to check on us now and then.

Will play again.

Great Layout

Some greens and traps a little rough but all in all very good for the start of the season.

AMAZING COURSE

Course was in great shape, tee’d off at 10am with absolutely no one in front of us. We did have a group catch up to us by hole16 but they were nice and easy going. We did lose a lot of balls even sometimes just off the fairway so be prepared to search or call of the search for balls. Found it interesting that all the looking we did for our balls we didn’t find any others balls left behind. The course had amazing views with great photo ops. I just so happened to record a shot on hole 8 which was one of the most senic holes on the course. Overall amazing course and would love to play again someday.

Far too much money for what you get.

Paid over $150 usd for the round. Not that good a course for that money.

Likely won’t go back.

Tough course in excellent condition

Very challenging course due to all the water and the very thick rough. Fun layout and the fairways and greens were in perfect condition. Can play a little slow due to Vacation golfers who are just out there hacking around as fivesomes or six Somes. I read some reviews that said it was not too tough but it is! Fun layout would love to play again
