Marina Vallarta Golf Club is known for its stunning tropical landscape that is home to an abundance of wildlife. Golfers have the opportunity to play amongst iguanas and alligators while enjoying scenic views of the Bay of Banderas. The course is blessed with a bevy of natural hazards including towering palm trees, lagoons, and waterfalls. Colorful tropical flowers and native vegetation further accent the landscape. In addition to the natural hazards, there are also a few strategically placed bunkers along the greensides. The golf course offers a challenging but fair test that is not overly demanding, which is probably for the best since it is easy to get distracted by the beautiful surroundings. Given its versatility and scenery, Marina Vallarta G.C. has become a popular venue for various golfing events, including the Governor's Cup Pro/Am Tournament.

Best greens of all the courses around Puerto Vallarta

Beside the few Holes along the airport that are very noisy, you will enjoy. Greens are the nicest I’ve seen around here. Play in the afternoon, it’s not worth the money they’re asking for to play in the morning.

Completely disappointed

When you show up to the course in which you've already paid for online and over half the course is under construction and they don't say anything prior to booking is awful practice. Golfnow app and the the golf course should be ashamed. Friendly staff at least .

Love this place

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.

Enjoyable round

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.

Nice little resort course, fast rounds and great staff

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.

Beautiful layout and challenging holes.

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.
