👍👍 Well manicured course. Very quiet. Golfed on a Thursday morning. Was able to tee off early with another single player. We had a caddy with us, he was tremendous help. Paid $240 for a single player, a ride along and some rental clubs with a tee time first thing when they opened around 7:30. Made use...

    It's a bit pricey, but they have some special offers for residents and for certain times of the day. The course is well kept, despite heavy rainfalls and the service is good. I loved playing 18 holes here with beautiful views and wild birds, iguanas and crocodiles looking on. Adding some photos.

    Well manicured course. Very quiet. Golfed on a Thursday morning. Was able to tee off early with another single player. We had a caddy with us, he was tremendous help. Paid $240 for a single player, a ride along and some rental clubs with a tee time first thing when they opened around 7:30. Made use of practice balls. Rental clubs were Taylor Made Sims, older model but worked well. Fun course to play, didn’t find it too dificult. Saw some crocodile, birds, and iguanas. 2 holes have greens under construction but that was no big deal. Ate at the restaurant afterwards and it was a great morning. My wife had fun riding along. I would happily golf here again.

    To much money for what you get. Didn't understand the level/cost of rental golf clubs. One price for good set of clubs, another price for mid clubs and a third price for the worst set of clubs. Why not one reasonable price for good set of rental clubs. The golf course was difficult enough without having to watch out for crocodiles. Lots of crocodiles. Can't keep one eye one the putt and the other on the crocodile watching the putt or worst YOU! Sand on the greens. Challenging fairways, shots over lakes and 🐊. To much of a golf course for me. Will go somewhere else on my next visit to Puerto Vallarta.

    The golf course was strategically laid out with bunkers, trees, and water. It definitely rewards good shots and handicapped bad ones. The course was beautiful and interlocked with a crocodile reserve that was loaded with crocs all along the course. You get the beautiful view of the mountains while some holes play right up against the ocean......it's a must for golfers in Puerto Vallarta.

    A fun and solid mid shelf track with a local vibe in Puerto Vallarta. I played Marina Vallarta Golf Course on a warm sunny day with light breezes at the end of December 2021. It’s a regulation length parkland-resort style track set on level terrain near the ocean. It courses through neighborhoods and crosses streets and players must avoid its several water hazards, residential out-of-bounds, trees, and bunkers. Oh, and crocodiles. There are crocodiles. Usually in the water hazards, but not always. You’re going to want to keep your eyes open for them. I think the designer, Joe Finger (1918-2003) did an admirable job creating a combination of holes that includes findable landing areas, risk-rewards, a beautiful oceanfront one shoter, and a doozy of an approach to the 18th green. Marina Vallarta has a nice practice putting green and a decent grass range supplied with range balls from this century, which is nice. The facility gets a lot of play from vacationers and snowbirds, some of whom buy memberships, otherwise it’s daily fee golf. Side note: One such snowbird told me that they are always trying to figure out which course in the area they want to settle into as their “home course.” This was coming from a marshall. Hmm. The condition of the course was a bit underwhelming. While the greens were totally respectable, the fairways were a tad scrappy for the price point. That could change after the detrimental impact of the covid pandemic wanes and Marina V receives more cash flow. After the exchange rate I paid $142 to play there. You may be able to pay less, perhaps more. In Oregon, where I’m from, this course would cost less than half that, but I find golf in Mexico to be priced super high everywhere. That notwithstanding I enjoyed the splurge. I also played the two Vista Vallarta courses and while Marina doesn’t rise to their level, it was a perfectly suitable addition to the week. Plus, crocodiles! Hit ‘em straight.

    Fun course, we'll placed sand & water hazards. Nice restaurant and bar. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff! Can't wait to go back

    No security on the course. Two men in a Coca Cola truck followed me for four holes, walking on the course. They said I hit their truck and needed to pay them. This course is unsafe. Stay away.

    One of the best courses I've ever played. It's beautiful and very well maintained. Fairways are perfect and spongey. My only complaint is the greens are a little slow but roll pure.

    This course was amazing and the staff very helpful and attentive. The greens were well manicured but the course itself was very tough. There are many bunkers and a ton of water. This makes it a challenge and not for those people used to wide fairways and large areas to land and play from. There is an abundance of wildlife as well and chasing lost balls should be done with caution!

    Don't mean to give a low score, but the cost for the Sunday brunch buffet is quite excessive at $20 CDN per person. Would have much rather went to a restaurant in the Marina area for breakfast. Good food though and fantastic service, only gripe is cost which is pretty petty of myself.

    The worse experience! They only charge cash (probably to avoid taxes). They denied me access because I don't pay in cash, we are 2021, which decent golf course don't charge cards!

    After seeing so many positive comments I’m shocked. We chose this course as it was closest to us and the price. To have a course with so many hazards and no maps or gps or even a tip sheet to me was shocking. It was in pretty rough shape and surrounded by what seemed to be abandon condos and unfinished homes. Nice staff and everything but we wish we would have payed a little more and gone somewhere else. You rent clubs and they don’t include water or tees or anything ! They seem to try and maintain and maybe we are spoiled at Cabo courses but we will not be going back. Even the tee boxes aren’t marked so you do not know if where you are teeing from is the actual yardage. We rented premium set of clubs and they were great but the course is just not what it looks like online.

    We visited a little over a year ago and I played here with a friend. Maybe I’m just spoiled by the quality of courses we are used to in MIchigan, but I thought the course wasn’t good quality. The fairways were burnt out, and aside from the crocodile habitat there was nothing unique or cool about the course. I thought it was a municipal course quality at best. Our ClubCorp membership offers this for the cart fee only if $55. I don’t think I’d pay $55 to go back, let alone the $159 greens fee most people play. As far as a private membership environment, this is a joke. ClubCorp should be embarrassed to call this a member club. It’s just a mediocre course with a bad diner quality restaurant that’s close to the marina and beach hotels. I kept thinking “we skipped time swimming up to the pool bar for this?!”.

    Perfect greens, stunning views and a great value for the money. It's a must play in Puerto Vallarta.

  • 2/5 Jon B. 11 months ago on Google
    Annoying and fun experience. Total confusion amongst booking time. Website shows 2 different tee times. Then i received a confirmation email saying 630am. Got there at 530am and the course didn't open until 7am. Sat in the dark waiting for that to happen. They also punched greens recently, didn't mention it, and charged us full rates.

    Go here if you want to waste money. Absolutely rude. Did not let us share rented clubs even though it was NOT listed as mandatory on the website. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. Mary at the front desk was incredibly rude and sassy. Then our rental clubs were not complete with a sand wedge. If you look at the course, there is no world to play without a sand. People we were paired did not have a putter. incomplete and not worth the money. Also, the manager Chico supposedly took over an hour lunch when we tried to complain. Chico, call me when you wrap up your lunch.

    Old school course, with nice layout. The good - price compared to the better courses is decent. Layout was nice and is good for all range of handicaps. We played in April and course was going through annual maintenance so no putting or chipping. To the bad - blue and white tee boxes were good, red and yellow were destroyed. Fairway was OK with some burned out spots. Greens were OK, very fuzzy and slow. Probably maintenance but not sure. The course is right off the airport so quite a few jets flying overhead which was really noisy. Lots of broken down houses that ruin the face of the course and unfortunately are an eye sore. Bunkers in need of TLC. The beach is 3 minutes away and plentiful... Just my thoughts. I don't think that I would play there again but if you are looking for cheaper golf that is close to the airport this is the place for you. If you are willing to go further there are much better courses

    Played golf for the first time in a long time yesterday. This was a nice course to do it on…all bet a bit hot. It was fun driving around the course in the golf carts… it is on the pricier side… it’s a pretty course. There is a washroom near hole 9 the women’s one was locked. The crocodiles and birds where cool to see. Though very hot make sure you load up on the sunscreen and the water. I did find the smell in the restaurants at the lobby area to be a bit funky. But other than that it was a lot of fun.
