Hotel Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta

I played with my wife who is a beginner but we had a great time because it is the slow season and we played after 1:30 which is the twilight rate. A little hot but fun. We are playing the Nicklaus course today.

The course was challenging due to the windy conditions. When I went there were making improvements to the course and was not informed prior to going via email nor was it posted on their site. We got to go play the first nine holes twice to make up for the remaining course.

I am an avid golfer and have played man of golf courses.

Awesome layout! From Tee Box to Green! It was a great experience, everyone was welcoming m, friendly and willing to help!

I will be back!

Book my tee time on the website. Had no idea the course was under repair.

Greens were good.

Front desk provided no warning of crocodiles. Should been made aware to all customers.

The back 9 is closed due to green repair. We paid for 18, but only played the front. They offered to let us play the front again, but not what we expected. Parts of the course were fine, but felt understaffed (possibly because it’s June and low season) and not well kept. The rough was Rough. Greens were nice and the fairways in good shape. We may play this one again when the full 18 are open. Won’t be rushing back though.

Great layout through the jungle.Greens had been aerated but it wasn’t bad.

Unfortunately the greens had been punched a few days or weeks earlier and were very poor. No mention of this by course. Disappointing as it has been a good venue in the past.

We lbad no idea that onl after we booked. If it was in the notes prior, we missed it. Most of the workers were great and considerate. Several others stayed on the course in front of us as we were hitting. One in particular was awful. He was grooming the green and as we were hitting from 100 yards away. He clearly saw us. When my wife was in a green side bunker 30 feet from the pin, he continued to circle the pin while she attempted to hit.

Excellent long and found Weiskopf course better overall shape

Overall good experience however allow for the traffic as it’s a challenge to get there. The course is pretty narrow with some very different hole layouts with fantastic greens. I saw another post about $12 bottles of water which is completely false they were $2.67 each to much tequila for that individual I suppose.
