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.

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.

Discount and golf caddie

It was weird to be talking to your front desk staff about our Canadá Golf Card Discounts that actually list your golf course, and they did not have a clue of what that was about. Instead, one of them just said that it did not apply, which is not true.

We called the day before to book a caddie to join us, and we were confirmed by the front desk that we would have one. Instead, we ended up fighting for a caddie with another customer, a situation that was far from pleasant. There was a discrepancy for the caddie fee between the caddie and the front desk (the caddie being less) which we also found very suspicious.

Good golf near airport

Course was tight and played long, greens were in good shape, lots of water with crocodiles chilling around the edges, pins were pretty tucked when I played. Golf here is expensive, was priced average for the area it seems. Had to pay $44 for my wife to ride along with me in a cart I already paid for, pretty lame. Would still probably play again but I preferred the Vista Vallarta course.
