Hotel Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta

Played during a port stop from a cruise ship. Drive out to the course and back via Uber was reasonable in terms of time and cost. Taxi's are more expensive, so be aware of that. Played early afternoon but weather was good with just light winds. Course conditions were good. Greens could have been a little faster, but they rolled fairly smooth. Fairways were mostly good with a couple of brown spots, but I'm being pretty picky calling that out. Bunkers were good and very playable. Course layout was nice with a mix of challenging and simple green complexes. Typical Nicklaus course with wide fairways navigating around some ravines and hills. I'd give it an excellent rating 5% rating if the green fee was $100 or less but still worth playing if you are in town. 4.5 is what I would give it to be exact.

We had an 8am tee off. It took 4.5 hours because they allow 5 player tee offs. Really frustrating when you have to wait before hitting every shot. There was 2 holes open in front of the 5some

Staff were indifferent

Great course, very challenging so be patient and avoid the hero shots. Staff are great. Best course marshals of all the PV courses. (Including Nuevo Vallarta)

Course is long, has a lot of water and crocodiles on many holes, also a lot of bunkers that are not the greatest, but enjoyed the day and would play the course again.

The golf carts have this ridiculous feature that shuts them off if you go to the wrong area and the only way to move is in reverse, if that works. Had three groups reversing up the cart path on one hole because of this GPS feature. Stupid.

We teed off at 8:10am, it took 4hrs 45 minutes to play. They allowed 5 somes out. At one point they were behind the pace by 2 holes. That pretty much backs up the course for the whole day. We’ve played all the courses in the PV area. For an early tee time, this is the worst pace of play we have experienced

Good shape staff friendly and finished 18 holes in less than 4 hours good pace

Rental clubs not that great for $54.00. Get the better Taylor Mades SIMS.

Greens are very different. Either fast or slow. Some greens slope towards water which have croc,s. None of the water hazards are staked.

Always a fun round here. The rental clubs cold be better but were ok.

I have played this course 10 times. This is the most disappointing experience I have had. This course(Weiskopf) has a challenging layout but is fair. I am most disappointed in the fact that they had carts of non-players doing donuts in the middle of the fairway and screaming with no Marshall in sight. The sand traps were as firm as the cart paths which was also troubling. This is a fabulous facility, but I will not be back soon.

Great course for the price. Convenient and easy to book. Play every time I’m in PV!

The older lady at reception where we paid was very unfriendly. She should be working in the kitchen instead. The person who maintains the golf carts was f very friendly.

Had a great time, went back and played 2 more times on our holiday.
