Hotel Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta

Fun time met some great people playing a very enjoyable round

The course inflated our $USD89 round price to $USD99 by giving themselves 19 pesos to the US dollar. As I write this, most places are giving 17 (xE 16.7 11-Jan) pesos exchange.It doesn’t sound like much of a difference, but it’s a $USD40 grab on your foursome

It’s a well-located course with all the Crocodiles you want to see, it’s too bad they decided to go a low route on currency exchange.

If you like playing in the sand this is the course for you

This is a very good course that is easy to get to and has great value for the money. It has a broad range of difficulty to appeal to a lot of golfers at various levels. The first hole is the number one handicap hole and things get a little easier on the back. They have done a great job recovering from a flood earlier this year and the place is in good shape. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Great place to play.

Scenic, challenging and well cared for. An excellent value in the afternoon. Warning. If you are playing in the afternoon and need a cab to return to your unit or hotel it can be a long wait late in the afternoon. Of the two courses we preferred the Nicklaus but the Weiskopf is not disappointing.

A really good course close in near the airport. Staff is really great and it's a good value for the money. You start off on a par 5 that is the number one handicap hole. After that the course is very balanced in terms of difficulty. Harder than a pure recreational course but not as tough as a tournament course. Easy to get to and reasonably priced.

I'd like to say that I both enjoyed the round that I had and also think that it's a little bit overpriced. Some fun holes to play, but a little beat up.

One thing to note as a local. They don't take your gov't issued ID as proof of being a local. They want you to bring a utility bill in your name. -eyeroll-

I play here fairly often and sometimes I find the conditions below what I would normally expect. Compared to my home in Canada, PV golf seems more expensive and the conditions are worse. Grass on greens and tee boxes has been scalped., divots have not been filled by staff bunkers are stony, trimmed brush is pushed to the side and not collected.

The staff are great and the club house is fantastic, though the locker room is an ice box!

Warning to the first time players, there is a lot of water so bring extra balls. The crocodiles {and they are BIG] restrict opportunities to fish out a ball.

We’ve played this course a couple times a year for the last 10 years. The views are fantastic, the staff are great, greens are fast and challenging. We’ll be back next year

We were the first group out and were able to play 18 in about 3 1/2 hours. Course was really fun and staff was extremely friendly and helpful.
