Marina Vallarta Golf Club
About
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.

Marina vallarta
Nice course lots of water, sand and narrow fairways. Hit straight all will be well. Hooks and slices will be punished immediately. Enjoyed course very much but five young golfers in front of us were having a hard time of it. Their pace was my only complaint.
Sporty, 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.
Good potential
This course has a good location close to Most of the hotels so forth. The course is not kept up at all the paths and the fairways are not groomed. The price they want it should be in much better condition. The layout itself with sand traps and greens and the Ocean has a ton of potential.
Part of the art is becoming more of a Golf Course destination, and someone else should buy this course and put more money into it. It could be a gym. Also there no ball Washer on the course.
Our teetimes at 2:30 and we were trying to warm up, but the starter aggressively made us tee off early which I didn’t appreciate.
Then one of the Rangers told us to hurry up and keep pace, and we were playing very fast. I played courses all over the world, and I’ve never had trouble keeping pace.
Overpriced for below average conditions.
With many courses of much better quality around, Marina does not compete.
Average fairway conditions, lots of burnt areas.
No sand in bunkers, pure concrete.
Only positive is the quality of the greens.
Was my last time there.
Which courses are better? I don't work for the course, I live here. I certainly agree with your rating, but the reason confounds me, when the overpricing, mats only driving range, lack of water with your round(at those ridiculous prices), and terrible experience due to ten minute tee times are generally what's worst about this course. El Tirgre has fallen off, Flamingos is still as bad as ever, Vidanta is $400/rd, and Vista is a nightmare to get to and from. Out of the courses listed, I would say only Vista and Vidanta are in better shape, so I was curious which other courses you were comparing it to.

1st time playing this course, It's a little dry, but good roll on your ball for extra yardage. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and very helpful
Pick your Landing Area
The course is in town, Wind and Water come into play on many holes Sand traps are rock hard.
We booked with GN back in Canada to reserve our tee time , $89 pp due at the GC , well Canadian Dollars are not accepted and we had to pay in Mexican Peso $1690 !!! Wich is equivalent to $140 Canadian
Very expensive outing
Great callout on the bunkers. What a joke. What did you think of the pace?
This Course layout hasn’t changed in years
It’s ok laid back afternoon golfing , you meet up with friendly people
The only surprise was the green fee
We booked with GN in back in Canada - $89 due at the course per player !
The Course doesn’t accept $Candian so we had to pay in peso $1692 per person this is equivalent to $150 Canadian …

Great views of crocodiles in the numerous water features. Fairways are open and sometimes forgiving. Greens are in good shape and quick.Score cards could use a map of course layout.
Marina Vallarta Golf Course review from a 70 year old Canadian
The course provides a good test of your golfing skills due to the variety of the terrain, the placement of the sand traps & water hazards, appropriate locations of the tee boxes depending on your skill level & the undulating greens allows numerous locations to place the cups to test your putting skills.
It can also test you mental fortitude if you are from an area that doesn’t have large crocodiles swimming or walking around the water hazards.,
For your next visit, just know that the ball washer, and clubhead washer come to that, are located on the cart. It's behind the passenger seat and that's why there's no room for a second cooler.
