Marina Vallarta Golf Club

Course is challenging and laid out well. Tough course once u approach greens. Only negative was the bar was closed both times we played. Would have been nice to have a cocktail afterwords.

This is a great golf course! There are crocodiles around the course and some times you have to just drop another ball, but they are friendly and don't bother the golfers. Very fun course to play.

Front greens had been punched but that was made clear when booking, back greens were very nice. Overall good condition for off-season, very quick round. Staff were great. But no food available after at 5. Lots of crocs and turtles to see. Overall enjoyable.

Very difficult course to play for an amateur like mm

Played Marina Vallarta 4 times while I stayed with the family at the Marriott across the street (1 min walk). Blue tees play over 6500yds and have some challenging approach shots. Morning rounds were 2 to 2.5hrs and afternoons were about 3.25hrs. Crocodiles and wildlife was a nice extra. The winds pick up in the afternoon making it a very different course than in the mornings. Tons of staff continually working on the course. My only complaint is the sand traps were poor.

2nd time I played the course. Staff was helpful and attentive--i.e. needed to rent clubs. Nice to have access to the practice range before play. Course was in good shape and my friend and I had a great morning round. Will definitely try to play when we visit next year.

The golf was good. The course was in really good shape. Lots of weeds though.
The prop shop check in staff is not friendly at all. I have noticed this being there many times.
Drink and snack cart was by 2 times in 18 holes.
Lots of crocodiles which is neat.

Bring lots of balls. This course is a ball eater. If you don't like a lot of noise, this course is not for you. The airport is close by and the planes fly over every 5 to 10 minutes. Weather was perfect as it was warm but the wind kept it cool enough to play comfortably.

Aside from the fact that the front 9 greens had been punched (necessary maintenance), the course was in good condition and well laid out. Some of the greens are well protected by water - coupled with afternoon breeze that made for some challenging play. Beware the right side of the 18th green - everything runs away into the water. I'd play again at full rate.

I would play this again ,our problem was that the course only played 9 holes twice ..we got a 40dollar Uber ride there to find out half course was closed and same price as open
.we could have gone back but in for a buck ..sorry we did ..

Golfed the course a few times and pace was anywhere from 3.5 hours to what would have been 6 hours (we quit after 12). There was even a group of six a few ahead of us duringone round. Called the pro shop and no Marshal came out to investigate. When we asked in the proshop afterward we were told there wasn't anything they could/would do about it.
They also close the restaurant at 6pm so no availability for supper.
That said, the course is challenging and interesting. Greens have lots of slope so don't leave your ball above the hole. There is also a lot of water so play smart. Not all holes should be driver.
