Beautiful and challengingRated:![]() by Dave Primrose from canada Age: 57 Handicap: 14 Written 3 months ago | Great course.. lots of rolls and bumps, fairway bunkers, some water. Well kept. One of my best golfing experiences |
Wonderful courseRated:![]() by Ron Wright from USA Age: 54 Handicap: 9 Written 4 months ago | Played it a couple weeks ago twice. Wonderful course, generous fairways for those of us with snow on the ground at home. Greens roll true. Don't shortside yourself! Staff is friendly and kitchen staff actually delivered my breakfast burrito out to the 4th hole because I had to go for my tee time. Extra service was appreciated. You'll love the course. |

WOWRated:![]() by Steve from USA Age: 39 Handicap: 15 Written 8 months ago | This course is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Being surrounded by the jungle was awesome. There is a par 3 island green surrounded by jungle. You actually are teeing off over the canopy of trees. Friendly staff and very clean club house. Highly recommended for any golfer that truely enjoys a heavenly view. |
GolfRated:![]() by steve from usa Age: 44 Handicap: 12 Written 9 months ago | Great golf course, very fair course, gets a caddie, if you have never played here before. My caddie was clubbing me on the 3rd hole. Was well worth it to play here. |
My Nicklaus Course Opinion.by Brad from Milwaukee, WI - USAAge: 32 Handicap: 8 Written 1 year ago | Located out of the city, in the foot hills to the mountains which make up the Bay of Banderas, gives the Vista Vallarta courses a wonderful template to build their courses (Nicklaus and Weiskopf). I was able to play this course in 06, right before they closed the grounds for final preparations for the Senior PGA event (interesting playing with the stands/scoreboards up, etc). It was obviously in great conditions due to the pending event, but in playing there again, nothing had really changed with conditions. Top notch all the way through. My only real problem with this track was the layout. While a nice design, it's typical Nichlaus. Very wide from the tee-box, punctuated by sand traps to squeeze your landing areas. Overall, very open to allow wayward shots the chance for a save back into play. Wonderfully contoured greens though, with subtle breaks, so quality putting a necessity. Regardless, this is still a championship facility, and therefor presents good value towards it's consumers and worth the trip. Even more-so if you attend the sales pitches from the time-share resorts through the Puerto and Nuevo Vallarta cities. I was able to cut my green fees down to $80 USD for 18. A cart is necessary ($45 USD) though, so keep it mind (at least, they made me take one). As a result, hiring a caddie for the day is a bit excessive, but each to their own. |
weldenguy 1by steve E. from WA. U.S.AAge: Written 1 year ago | Beautiful course the best money spent was for a caddie for the first time over the course,ask for Poncho. He's fun.The course was pretty expensive so shop around for any discounts you can get. |
Vista Vallarta Jack NicklausRated:![]() by Randy from Texas USA Age: 49 Handicap: 10 Written 1 year ago | I have played many tour courses over the years and the Nicklaus Course rates with all of them. Wonderful scenery and a course that was in great shape. Fairways were great greens were better. Beware of the grain when putting!!. |

Great golf experienceRated:![]() by timc from USA Age: 60 Handicap: 13 Written 1 year ago | This course is a 5 star course with a great layout, excellent course condition and challenging holes throughout including the par 3s.
Traps are strategically placed and punish misclubing. The greens role true and swift. Some holes have carries over waste areas, so the yardage book provided comes in handy. Enjoy!
