Hotel Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta

Have played this score several times and I keep asking myself why I go back. Proximity is the answer to where we stay in Puerto Vallarta, but this course is in fair shape at best. The greens were furry… Very slow. The layout is more than challenging… And not necessarily fair. Pay $200 per person for a 9 AM teatime… Played the front nine in two hours which was great and that quickly turned into a five hour round with nothing but wait times on every tee on the back nine. The course is Marshalled but obviously they don’t do anything about it. After check-in was asked if I wanted some water and I said yes… That’ll be six dollars please. I just paid you $200 green fee and now you want three dollars for a bottle of water… Come on.

Have played both the Nicholas and Weiskoff courses… This time out we played Nicholas and enjoyed it very much. We played in the afternoon at a much discounted rate knowing that the winds might make things difficult but they never developed. It was a perfect February day. Layout is challenging… But fair. Greens were in great condition and rolled just fine.

For the price this course was terrible. Played more like a county municipal course in the states. Fairways were torn up and were weed plagued. The course was backed up all round and the marshal kept pushing us to pick up pace, only to be stuck at the tee box with the group ahead of us. He came by 3 times to tell us to go faster, but there was nothing we could do.

Oh, and the crocodiles are no joke. Huge and numerous, just hanging out in the course next to the water.

I recommend you pay a few more dollars and pick a better course.

We were the first ones to tee off. It was definitely a great experience beautiful golf course. All the greens are well taken care of the views are spectacular. It’s definitely a little pricey, but it’s worth your buck especially when you’re golfing in Mexico oceanside view. I also rented out the clubs brand tailor-made. Definitely going to be be back for another round on my next vacation

Played Weisskopf at Vista Vallarta. A challenging but fair course. Gorgeous views from the course to the mountains. Greens are in great shape and fairways are good as well. Bunkers would need some work. Overall very enjoyable and one of my favourite courses in PV.

Fun golf course. Love the views, love the wildlife!!

Don’t wast your $ on this course. Try other ones with a much better overall experience, Among the five courses we played in PV. This turned out to be the worst one (Higuera #1, Vista #2, Tiger #3, Nayar #4). The course is not long, but the design is tricky. The fairway is narrow and lot of waters. The course needs some TLC. One of the holes was near a waste treatment area and smiles stinky. Lots of bare lands with no grass. I was very disappointed. Will not return to this one.

Super terrain. 2e 9 trou un peu plus difficile. Il n'y avait personne surle terrain. Nous avons joué à 9am. Mon seul bémol est le prix 366.00$ can pour jouer " un peu exagéré ". Si les prix était plus abordable il y aurait plus de golfeur j'en suis persuadé.

Beautiful course. Greens were fast and true. Scenically fabulous. Challenging for sure.

The abject poverty on the drive in was an eye opener.

Once at the course the rest of the world fades away and one realizes how incredibly fortunate we are to have the opportunity to do such trivial pursuits.

A great round on a great layout.

Thank the gods for the life I have and the good fortune to live where I live.
