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.

Expensive

Price has gone up considerably in the past few years but service has not increased. For the expense not necessarily value for your money

The marshal does not drive around to keep the players moving.

The greens were in good shape. Lot of the grass on the fairways have been cut so low that the sun has burnt the grass.

Good but not Great

I like their Course and the LAyout but certainly thought it was overpriced for the condition it’s in. Bunkers need a lot of work, greens are inconsistent and a few were really in tough shape. Has the bones to be a nice course.

Good layout & greens, fairways dry

An interesting layout, good greens but fairways are a bit dried out. You get good roll though. Underrated course
