Vista Vallarta Golf Club - The Weiskopf Course
Played On 03/13/2024Marina Vallarta Golf Club
Played On 02/28/2024Sporty, difficult course
The layout is challenging and the greens are very sloping and difficult. The condition is fair, but it is a heavily played public course. Afternoon rates are not too bad. I certainly would not want to pay full freight in the morning. Yesterday was quite slow and I quit after 13 holes.
Gillette Ridge
Played On 06/20/2023Uneven
This course is very natural and aesthetically pleasing, with marshes and barrancas and elevation changes. It is in decent but not top notch condition. My main complaint is that the course is uneven in difficulty. The first 15 holes were quite difficult, with a good many blind shots, but doable if you hit the ball where you were looking. The last 3 holes were impossible, at least for a 76 year old 18 handicap like me. I enjoyed myself overall, but was over my head at the end of my round. I suspect it would become easier with some practice and greater familiarity. Still, a very enjoyable day.
Vista Vallarta Golf Club - The Weiskopf Course
Played On 03/28/2023Very nice overall
I hadn’t played this course in several years, and remembered very little of it. The views are beautiful, the course is impeccable condition, the greens are very fast, and on the day and time I played, the course was empty and I was able to play 18 holes by myself in a little less than 3 1/2 hours. Delightful! My only reservation about the course is that it lacks a bit in character. There are only one or two really memorable holes, one a scary par 3 over a deep barranca.
Overall, it was a really nice day, if a bit pricey even at the afternoon rate.

Played On 03/05/2023Tight, demanding layout. Hard for me to score. Good greens, fairways and tees only fair. Lots of burnout this year.
Marina Vallarta Golf Club
Played On 03/08/2022Very sporty course
I really enjoyed my round at Marina Vallarta. The best feature of the course is it’s design. The holes are varied and interesting. I would say that the condition of the fairways and greens were good, but not great, but that the greens were excellent. The course is not too long from the whites, good for an oldster like me. A good challenge, but fair. I will be back!
Jones at Lyman Orchards Golf Club
Played On 06/22/2021Love this layout!
The Jones course is a classic New England track with excellent shot values and lots of character. (What one would expect given the designer!) I had a great time today. Course was pretty empty (threat of rain) and I played 17 holes (skipped one to get past a slow foursome) in just under 3 hours. For a public course that gets a lot of play, course conditioning is quite good. The course is longish, and was a challenge for me (74) even from the gold tees. But it is fair and mostly right in front of you. I will definitely come back when my own course is closed.
Thank you for playing and thank you for your feedback. Hope to see you back again soon.
