Vista Vallarta Golf Club - The Nicklaus Course

Greens Lightning Fast..... Very Nice Lay-out although There are Some Tricked-Up Holes I didn’t Love But Nicklaus Does that with Bunkering and other Gimmicks. The Course Plays Easier From The Blues Than The White. The White-Tees Takes Driver Out Of Your Hand To often, Even on The Par 5’s. The Course Biggest defense are the Greens. Caddies are Optonal Unlike Vidanta, But For $20.00 Bucks U.S. You Might Consider it Just To Help with Reading The Greens. “ Did I Mention The Greens Killed Me “. At Vista Vallarta The Nicklaus Course Is The Feature Course and also More Expensive, But The Weiskopf Course Has it Beat and Cost Less. ( On Golf Now Of Course ) And its Much More Scenic Than The Nicklaus Course. I’m Not Beating Nicklaus Up Weiskopf Is Just Better.

Vista Vallarta is great, both courses are wonderful and well maintained. The staff is as good as any private club. Don’t miss the opportunity to play here when in town.

Everything about the course was nice. We basically had the whole course to ourselves going out before 9am.

Played this course with my wife during a short destination wedding vacation. Got a 7:30 Tee and didn’t see another golfer until the 16th hole, and they were just on the way out. It was fantastic weather in April, with some dry-looking conditions in the surrounding areas.
All the Staff were stellar with big smiles while being super helpful.
A little pricey, but the experience is worth more than what you’ll pay.

My second day this week at VV. Played Weiskopft two days earlier. First off the pro shop staff was very professional and efficient. The starter crew was a really nice retired American. He gave great info about VV. Was excellent. The driving range and putting area was excellent. Get there early to take advantage. The course was in excellent shape. Tee boxes and greens were exceptional. Bunkers were solid. I also played Vidanta twice this week. All courses were great but I rank VVNiklaus, VVWesiskopt and Vidanta in that order. Easy Uber to VV. @$13 each way from the Hard Rock and no issues waiting for an UBer.

Staff great, good value if you play twilight, in great condition, but some tough holes. Fun to play. Restaurant however closes early. Will be back.

Always if I around the Golf here. Had 3 puppies join us for the final 6 holes!!!

The Nicklaus course at Vista Vallarta is in my opinion the best course in the area. Close to the mountains with terrific views and great holes. Some of the holes are difficult to play and the greens are in great condition.
If you play in the afternoon you can get a great price.
Can only recommend it.

We always enjoy playing these two courses. Staff, restaurant, pro shop are all top notch.

Played at 2:30 for a cheaper green fee. WORTH EVERY PENNY! The course was in phenomenal condition. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. The pace was perfect. And the scenes were stunning. I would definitely play this again if we ever make our way back down here.

I have booked a tee time for 14:40 at decent price (89 us $ including fees) considering the regular prices at all courses in the Puerto Vallarta area ( including Nuevo Vallarta, Bucerias and Punta de Mita). We played a fast round in 4 hours , me and my wife, as a twosome. The practice facilities are great and the personal is very welcoming). Considering the cost to play this course, the grooming could be a notch better. But the lay out is great with wide fairways in a pleasant environment. We play this course again

This is an excellent course in a beautiful setting. That said it is way over priced. I play it in the afternoon at the twilight price making it a really good deal.

Rates at this course have increased substantially over the last few years. Getting Hot Deals helped bring the price down to make the price reasonable. The layout is challenging and the course is well maintained.

First off, the course is beautiful, the amenities are great, and the complex is in great shape. But I and my playing partners found it very difficult. Way more ravines and canyons than the Weiskopf course, lots of forced carries, and they all seemed to be at the wrong yardages from the tee or for your second shots. Bombers wont have a problem, but unless you want to play from the very forward tees, you might struggle. Other than that, greens were terrific and the place is awesome. I just found the Weiskopf course a bit more forgiving. Also, good value if you play twilight rates.
