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.Facts

I Recommend This Course
Good potential
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.

Overpriced for below average conditions.
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.

Which courses are better? I don't work for the course, I live here. I certainly agree with your rating, but the reason confounds me, when the overpricing, mats only driving range, lack of water with your round(at those ridiculous prices), and terrible experience due to ten minute tee times are generally what's worst about this course. El Tirgre has fallen off, Flamingos is still as bad as ever, Vidanta is $400/rd, and Vista is a nightmare to get to and from. Out of the courses listed, I would say only Vista and Vidanta are in better shape, so I was curious which other courses you were comparing it to.

It’s ok laid back afternoon golfing , you meet up with friendly people
The only surprise was the green fee
We booked with GN in back in Canada - $89 due at the course per player !
The Course doesn’t accept $Candian so we had to pay in peso $1692 per person this is equivalent to $150 Canadian …

For your next visit, just know that the ball washer, and clubhead washer come to that, are located on the cart. It's behind the passenger seat and that's why there's no room for a second cooler.
