Hotel Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta

Like women, where a 10 is rare, so is the course that rates a 5 out of 5.

Really nice course. We teed off at 2:20pm and the rate was $95. Well worth it at that price point. Early rounds are $245 ish. At that price point it is way overpriced.

Enjoyed our afternoon greatly.

Course was better than I expected, lots of water and sand. Greens were in fantastic shape.

Overall I really enjoy playing Marina Vallarta,

but for the first time they attempted to charge

me for hitting a few balls after my round. After

paying $198 for my round I found this very

annoying.

Absolute pleasure to play. Very friendly staff, course in beautiful shape and pace of play was 4 hours. Couldn’t recommend a place in PV that I would want to play more!

Extremely nice course with great conditions, coconut palms, and crocodiles. Also a great amount of water and many tropical birds. Check in was quick and simple in a very attractive pro shop.

My wife and I truly enjoy playing this course.

Staff are friendly & helpful.

Great value when playing after 2:30 pm

Greens were much improved from last visit. Fairways are patchy.

Had fun and nice layout !

Starting with the tea boxes, you could barely put your tea into the ground to hold your ball. It was so hard. The fairways were full of dead spots the greens weren’t that bad. The club rentals were the worst set of clubs I’ve ever rented in my life last time I played there. The club rentals were new and nice and in good shape my putter didn’t even barely have a grip on it. It was so worn out.

Course layout was good. Tee boxes were worn. They needed to be moved more often. Greens were smooth and rolled well. Very good speed. Fairways needed to have additional seeding done. Had to roll ball at times to find better grass. Areas around course could use cleanup. Very nice driving range. Beverage cart gal was very nice. Food in clubhouse was excellent. Played in the afternoon for $95.00. Course is not worth paying any more.

First things first are the views. It’s honestly hard to describe. You are basically in the jungle amidst the most incredible mountain vistas and views. The course is quite difficult for a low skill golfer like myself, but it doesn’t even matter. The layout is gorgeous. Some tight fairways, true roughs with thick Bermuda grass, and sloped greens make things tough, but there are also some open easy ways to recover from trouble. Large sand traps provide relatively easy “outs” and some misses can be picked up from frequent openings. Even though I was terrible, this was still one of the most fun golf experiences I’ve ever had. A truly unique experience. The staff was top notch and attentive, the rental clubs were more than adequate, and the club house, pro shop, and facilities were excellent. Again….views, views, and more views. I will play here many times more, I’m certain. If you play PV, play here first.
