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.

Poor

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.

Mexico golf

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.

Breathtaking

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.

Tough little. Ourse

The Marina Vallarta course is well located in the Marina area and easy to get to. Fairways are narrow and you have to play with precision. There are crocodiles lying around on most water holes and one has to be careful not to get to close. Good value for money and a nice challenge.

Nice layout but scruffy

Played several times, decent layout some fun holes, one par 3 by the beach, lots of crocodiles and iguanas. The fairways can be patchy but the greens are very good and on the fast side. Starter got us out an hour early, lots of beverage girl visits, course marshals very friendly. I would say $125 US would be a good price for a 9:00 time, we paid $140 using my GolfNow member app versus $170

One of the best in Puerto Vallarta

Both Vista Vallarta courses are very nice. The Weisskopf course seems to be a little less busy. Course conditions were excellent. I suggest to take a caddy, he can help considerably with green reading. One of my favorites in PV.
