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.

Okay but only at the right price

I enjoyed chatting with the marshalls and there are a few interesting holes, but this is not the best course around and even at the reduced rate through Golfnow I cannot recommend it. If this was in Palm Springs I would categorize it as a bottom tier course that would have been ok at $35-50 pre C19 and no more than $70 afterward.

Thin lies, rocks in bunkers, grass is patchy, and some holes are odd or Mickey Mouse. Greens were in good shape though. Par 3 along the ocean is pretty.

The Croc Course

You gotta love when your playing partners and cadie are Crocodiles! Seriously though the course was in good shape and the course employees are friendly and helpful.

Kinda of a ripoff

Overpriced. Bad conditions. No starter. Bad pace of play.

Cool Birds and Crocs

Greens were very good, but everything else was unkept.

Great course but rentals were poir

Visited with my son and had a great day. Wasn’t busy so we played in three hours. Loved the layout and course conditions were excellent. Biggest disappointment was the rentals. For seventy $ they should be new each year and not missing clubs

This course is located close to downtown

First time playing this course and found it to be very enjoyable. Nice layout with multiple tee boxes for all levels of golfers. Would recommend this course be part of your Puerto Vallarta experience.

Great course

This is a great course but way to many sand traps for a higher handicapper like 14+ . The pace is wonderful and the Course was in great condition. Drink cart was rare seen her in the 4th hole while we still had drinks from clubhouse and never again. Back 9 was pretty dry

Go play Marina Vallarta

Course is in good shape. Pace was a bit slow as we were to be the first group off at 2:30 and wound up hitting 4th. Restaurant and pro shop were excellent. Great staff. Finished 18 with time to spare.

Fun course great price

We booked a 1.50 tee time for $95 which is great value. We were worried if we would have time for 18 but the pace of play was fine and we finished in 4 hours. Course is tight due to some houses and water but overall good condition.

Fun and Fair... Must Play

If your in the Puerto Vallarta area, the Vista Vallarta Golf Course is a place you have to play. The location is a little out of the way, but worth the drive. The Weiskopf course is fun yet fair as the holes are well guarded by bunkers but the greens are generous and always in good condition.

PV Marina Course

The course was in good shape, the staff mostly friendly however the pace of play was somewhat challenging this day. The starter or course marshal should have warned the group in front of us on the starting hole (#1) that their pace of play was taking to long, approximately 30 mins to play the first hole.

Slower than normal

Generally the course is pretty empty at 3 pm and I can play fast as a single. Today, the course was packed, and I had to skip 4 holes to find an opening. Disappointing.

Vista Vallarta never disappoints

During our recent stay in Nuevo Vallarta we play the Nicholas and Weiskopf courses.

We found the Nicklaus course to be more challenging.

The Weiskopf course had better views of the mountains and the layout was beautiful.

We golf at these courses every time we go to Nuevo Vallarta.

I Highly recommend the trip up into the mountains.
