Hotel Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta

Nice course lots of water, sand and narrow fairways. Hit straight all will be well. Hooks and slices will be punished immediately. Enjoyed course very much but five young golfers in front of us were having a hard time of it. Their pace was my only complaint.

Beautiful course. The fairways were tight. Can't stray off the tees. The greens were sanded and fast wouldn't hold your approach shot. So you think of trying to land it short of the green and let it roll on. But I can think of 5 holes that you couldn't do that. Better to be long than short on those. It was my 1st time out since October from Massachusetts. 13 handicapper. Played from the whites. Should have left the driver in the bag on some of the par 4s. Have fun in the sun.

First off, the course is beautiful, the amenities are great, and the complex is in great shape. But I and my playing partners found it very difficult. Way more ravines and canyons than the Weiskopf course, lots of forced carries, and they all seemed to be at the wrong yardages from the tee or for your second shots. Bombers wont have a problem, but unless you want to play from the very forward tees, you might struggle. Other than that, greens were terrific and the place is awesome. I just found the Weiskopf course a bit more forgiving. Also, good value if you play twilight rates.

The layout is challenging and the greens are very sloping and difficult. The condition is fair, but it is a heavily played public course. Afternoon rates are not too bad. I certainly would not want to pay full freight in the morning. Yesterday was quite slow and I quit after 13 holes.

This course has a good location close to Most of the hotels so forth. The course is not kept up at all the paths and the fairways are not groomed. The price they want it should be in much better condition. The layout itself with sand traps and greens and the Ocean has a ton of potential.

Part of the art is becoming more of a Golf Course destination, and someone else should buy this course and put more money into it. It could be a gym. Also there no ball Washer on the course.

Our teetimes at 2:30 and we were trying to warm up, but the starter aggressively made us tee off early which I didn’t appreciate.

Then one of the Rangers told us to hurry up and keep pace, and we were playing very fast. I played courses all over the world, and I’ve never had trouble keeping pace.

The course is in town, Wind and Water come into play on many holes Sand traps are rock hard.

We booked with GN back in Canada to reserve our tee time , $89 pp due at the GC , well Canadian Dollars are not accepted and we had to pay in Mexican Peso $1690 !!! Wich is equivalent to $140 Canadian

Very expensive outing

Great views of crocodiles in the numerous water features. Fairways are open and sometimes forgiving. Greens are in good shape and quick.Score cards could use a map of course layout.

Over booked for the price, pace of place was hours behind

With many courses of much better quality around, Marina does not compete.

Average fairway conditions, lots of burnt areas.

No sand in bunkers, pure concrete.

Only positive is the quality of the greens.

Was my last time there.

1st time playing this course, It's a little dry, but good roll on your ball for extra yardage. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and very helpful
