Hotel Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta

Played Marina Vallarta 4 times while I stayed with the family at the Marriott across the street (1 min walk). Blue tees play over 6500yds and have some challenging approach shots. Morning rounds were 2 to 2.5hrs and afternoons were about 3.25hrs. Crocodiles and wildlife was a nice extra. The winds pick up in the afternoon making it a very different course than in the mornings. Tons of staff continually working on the course. My only complaint is the sand traps were poor.

2nd time I played the course. Staff was helpful and attentive--i.e. needed to rent clubs. Nice to have access to the practice range before play. Course was in good shape and my friend and I had a great morning round. Will definitely try to play when we visit next year.

The golf was good. The course was in really good shape. Lots of weeds though.

The prop shop check in staff is not friendly at all. I have noticed this being there many times.

Drink and snack cart was by 2 times in 18 holes.

Lots of crocodiles which is neat.

We always enjoy playing these two courses. Staff, restaurant, pro shop are all top notch.

Fun course with good views but we followed a tournament and couldn’t finish the round

I would play this again ,our problem was that the course only played 9 holes twice ..we got a 40dollar Uber ride there to find out half course was closed and same price as open

.we could have gone back but in for a buck ..sorry we did ..

The golf course is very nice with some challenging holes. Water hazards are very challenging to work around but quite doable. I'm not a long hitter and needed to do some course management.

The only disappointment came from the sand traps. They were very hard and was unable to get under the ball in order to do short side shots.

Have played 3 different PV courses over the years vacationing here. Marina Vallarta is convenient to our place in the Romantic Zone. Don't have to go out to Nuevo Vallarta. Marina Vallarta is a nice course.

Very Very slow 3 1\2 hours for 10 holes. We left the course after 10 holes.

This is a nice course, very challenging sometimes too challenging. Most important things bring lots of balls with you and play the right tee box for your game. See too many people (men) think they should play white or blue tees, this course seems to play big, longer than you think, lots of water, with crocodiles, lots of sand traps, however it isn’t really sand. Time for them to invest some money in the traps. Staff are great, backshop guys are the best, please tip them.

We had a good time but had to be behind a five some for which the Marshall said nothing can be done it’s just gonna be a looong round. Course was fun otherwise.

All 10 of us had a fantastic time. Fun layout and great shape.

I played twilight time. The rate is 69USD. According to my app that translates to 1152 pesos, not 1310. I don't appreciate being charged an extra 158 pesos. I would like compensation for the overpayments of the 4 twilight times I played.
