Flamingos Club de Golf
About
Opened in 1978, Flamingos Gofl Club was the first golf course in the Bay of Banderas and it has since become a local favorite. The course sprawls across a landscape covered with over 1,500 palm trees. There are also hundreds of different trees, including parota and eucalyptus, that frame the challenging greens. The narrow, subtle sloped fairways provide scenic paths that weave through the natural lagoons, estuaries, and marshes. There are nine water hazards and over 40 bunkers that come into play throughout the golf course. The layout will test your target golf skills and good strategizing will be greatly rewarded, which includes not only your ball placement on the fairways but also proper club selection, especially on the holes that are more affected by the strong coastal breezes.

Flamingo Golf Mexico
Course was in very good condition. Greens were fast and true! Pace of play was acceptable! 30 minutes late starting, course was full! Would recommend this course!
Nice to get back
I played here twice in the last two weeks and was very pleased with the course conditions. The fairways are thin and the greens are a little slow but the overall experience was great. Twilight tee times are $51 US and that is a great price for the courses in the PV area. Really enjoyed it both times.
Information
Am interested in membership at the Flamingos for the winter season, 6 months. Anyone with information such as fees, terms, any members looking for a player, would appreciate your reply.
Nice track
The course is varied and challenging. Lots of interesting wildlife and plants along the way. Saw a crocodile swimming and birds fishing. Finished in just over 4 1/2 hours and were on better pace except some guys ahead of us started some sort of time consuming challenge on the lovely 16th par 3.
The lunch facility had good food and good prices.
Great Value in Nuevo
This is Mexico, it is hot and calm. The course was in fair shape, that is to say green, but not wet or soft. The greens are very challenging and the course has some great views. They could use a little more English speaking staff as we nearly died on the back nine because the cart girl could not understand we wanted a beverage before she left us. Great vaue in Mexico.
A "MUST PLAY" COURSE
Very good place to play, enjoyable, reasonably priced. $1.50 beers off the drink cart. Need more be said?
Flamingos Golf Course, NUEVO VALLARTA,Mex.
We appreciate the GOLF/NOWservice
Not Good.....
Didn't like the course for the price, and they charged for an companion.....
Los Flamingos
Course was a great value. Staff was very friendly.
Great course for a municipal course
Unfortunately, the course had just been aerated and we were not informed of this.
Worth a look
Fun experience but course was in average condition (mostly the greens). Never seen worse golf balls on a driving range but overall it was a fun and challenging round. Lots of blind shots so the handbook is a good thing to have. If you don't mind playing an afternoon round in the heat and the wind, and you can get your hands on a golf now 'hot deal' I'd say it's a must do. If you have to pay the full rate I would just be aware that the high price of $135+ is not necessarily reflective of a great course in great shape. All this said I look forward to playing it again in the future.
Open and forgiving
This is an easy to locate course outside of Bucerias, north of Puerto Vallarta. We had no problem booking a round through golfnow.com and obtained a great rate. We were greeted on arrival and our clubs were delivered to a cart. The pro shop staff processed our booking efficiently and we proceeded to the first hole where we were met by the starter who oriented us to the course and wildlife. The course layout is open and forgiving and easy to navigate. The greens are fast but consistent and there is lots of roll on the fairways. Pace of play is very good and we were able to complete our round in just under four hours. There is a beverage cart on site, hot meals can be ordered and the cart will deliver them to you. We ordered hamburgers at the turn and received them a few holes later, the burgers were loaded and came complete with fries and condiments. The carts are equipped with a cooler and ice and cold bottled water. All staff are very proficient in English.
Scenic yet challenging course.
Thanks to GolfNow I played this course 7 times this visit. Overall the tee to green was dry as opposed to wet. Fairways forgiving and we'll maintained. Very tough if you wander off the short stuff. Greens temperamental but playable. Subtle breaks are hard to judge but are apparent after striking the ball. Sand traps are plenty and well placed. Course plays very well if you keep the ball down the center and away from the palm trees and ponds.
I played off the Blue, White and Yellow tees and found a different course each time.
Very enjoyable course and as Arnold Schwarzenegger says "I'll be back".
Great day on a beautiful course in paradise!!!
Thank goodness for GolfNow which made the round reasonably priced and timing allowed for morning rest and evening dinner. Staff were terrific and pace of play was under 4 hours!!
This course us super dry!
I'm in the PV hotel zone. From here, it is more cost effective to play a closer course. By the time you pay the course fee and the cab fee, it's not worth the time and travel. On that same point, if the prices were lower for PV hotel zone players, I would play it more and recommend it as well.
Good day of golf
Booking through golf now all went well. Lots of staff everywhere. I had my own clubs which were taken everywhere by staff, staff on driving range to clean your clubs and replenish balls. Course was in decent shape, quite dry, so lots of roll. I would say I am intermediate level and found the course playable. A couple holes of hitting over water which challenged, more mental than anything...lol. Caddy is a requirement, which was good to inform you of course layout. I thought the golf was good for the price paid with Golfnow, but wouldn't play the course at their regular rate. Wanted to see some of the wildlife, but only saw some interesting birds. Good day overall.
They offer discounted 10, 20 play punch cards for one person, that last 30, 60, 90 days. They're very approachable. Good luck
