Hotel Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta

This is an excellent course in a beautiful setting. That said it is way over priced. I play it in the afternoon at the twilight price making it a really good deal.

The course was in great shape and there was nobody on it in the afternoon. I actually recommend it over the Nicklaus course. It's a lot more open, scenic, and just better for the casual weekend warrior. The Nicklaus course is great too, but I enjoyed the layout of the Weiskopf much more.

Rates at this course have increased substantially over the last few years. Getting Hot Deals helped bring the price down to make the price reasonable. The layout is challenging and the course is well maintained.

Played this course many times and it is always fun. It was a little dry in spots but still very playable.

One previous reviewer put it succinctly: this course is “meh.” The layout is challenging, probably the best part about it. The course conditions are reminiscent of a low-end municipal course. The staff is indifferent, and the amenities - again, think low-end muni. We played Vista Vallerta (Nicklaus) a few days prior. Honestly, save your money and play that course. It is in amazing condition and the amenities match the price.

We stayed across the street at the Marriot resort. This course was a perfect morning activity. The grass was a little dry and bare in spots on the fairways, but the course was fun and challenging. Real water hazards, given the crocs! Lots of other wildlife, too.

Played at 2:30 for a cheaper green fee. WORTH EVERY PENNY! The course was in phenomenal condition. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. The pace was perfect. And the scenes were stunning. I would definitely play this again if we ever make our way back down here.

Pace of play was terrible. 25 minute wait on some hole. Should be a sign to let smaller groups or faster play players through. Nice course for the money, but if you plan to play 18 holes be ready for 5 to 6 hours .

You have to ask for your clubs to be cleaned after play. They cater more to the members. We live there permanently but don’t feel like we have to ask for everything

The twilight rate is good value; a challenging course in beautiful countryside; just outside of the city. I remain annoyed with being charged 200 pesos for water by staff.
