This out of the way coarse is well worth trying. It is in great shape and has amazing views of junction of the two arms of lake Diefenbaker - obviously where Elbow gets its name.
Be warned however that there are a number of blind shots from the that border on unfair.

New carts with GPS control has things looking a lot better.
The greens were just punched and were nice and soft. Even so, putts still rolled fairly consistently. The greens will be incredible once they mend from the maintenance.
This is a narrow course that plays hard but the wildlife and ocean views make it worthwhile.
You cannot beat the price especially if you are staying in the Marina area..

To start it is almost impossible to find this course even-though I had been here before. Once there nobody could be bothered to greet me or tell me where to park. Nobody would tell me where to drop off your clubs. Found parking eventually but took me a while even-though I do speak some Spanish and asked several people whose responses were leas than helpful. If parking is this convoluted maybe a valet service could be offered. There was enough staff standing around doing nothing.
After searching and finally finding what I thought was the parking lot I walked back to no greeting or explanation of what to do. There was several staff but they did not care to explain what to do to get to the clubhouse.
Once there and signed in you are told you have to pay $20 USD for a caddy. Which is fine but tell people upfront. Where is that mentioned on Golf Now?
The course layout on the Nayar course is ridiculous. Holes 6-8 were located literally a mile or more from the rest of the course.
On the back nine it looked like the holes had not been changed in a long time.
The caddie was minimally helpful and not overly friendly.
With the exception of the people who took my money nobody at this course was welcoming. Message received and I will not return.

Don’t understand why I could not get a rain check when it started thundering and lightning after 13 holes. I guess I will try another one of the empty courses around Vallarta.

I started to use this coarse last summer and just got used to the dismissive attitude of the people that checked me in but this year since they have doubled their green fees through GolfNow I am expecting a bit more professionalism and manners. I never like being treated like my being there is an imposition to the people who are there to greet me. Not sure why they have an attitude but it does not make me want to use their course or consider a membership. If the clubhouse staff don’t want the general public to use their facilities just don’t use GolfNow.

This little course is located in a golf Mecca but does not really fit in with some of the other nearby options. Golfing under the lights is a novelty and you might want to try it if you have the opportunity.
The coarse is in poor condition and the addition of goose poop to the putting surface make taking a drop on the green a concideration. Talking about the greens, they are as slow as I have seen and in very poor shape with lots of dead spots.
Others comment that this coarse is a good value and it is since we only paid $15.00 to play. Who can say they have played under the lights?
The staff on this particular evening left much to be desired, not friendly and seemed distracted. I hate it when I show up to a place and it seems that I am imposing on the staff by being there.
Give it a try just say you have done it but be aware that you are living on the the fringe,

Booked this coarse on recommendation of a friend but likely will not golf there again. Our cart almost did not make it back to the clubhouse and needed a push up a couple of the small hills. Not sure why there was so many unfixed ball marks and spike marks in the greens it reminded me of a very poorly cared for municipal track. I am not really interested in playing at this coarse but it was interesting. Lots of interesting places see adjacent to the fairways. Give it a try but don’t expect much. Kind of long and the geeens need a mow’n so won’t be goin any time soon.

Golfed here the fist time and have had really good experiences playing this coarse several time in the last three weeks. There is seldom anyone else on the coarse in the heat of mid-day in July and I enjoy playing at my own pace. The greens are very slow so just hit the putts a bit harder.
There are many mango trees and many birds and other assorted fauna to make things interesting if you are not having the best round.
I have played the Marina course and Vista Vallarta (Nicholas) but keep going back to Flamingos because of the value.
Give it a try and you will have fun here.
