Opened in April 2001, the first course at Vista Vallarta is a Signature Design by Jack Nicklaus. Since this course is located on the property's highest elevation, golfers are treated not only to world class golf but also breathtaking views of Puerto Vallarta, the Marina and Banderas Bay. Grassy hillsides, dense forest of Palm and giant Ficas trees, natural creeks and arroyos provide the perfect setting for this world class course by the world's greatest player.
Vista Vallarta is built into the rolling terrain of the property’s highest elevation. The 7,057-yard, par-72 Jack Nicklaus signature course features gently sloping hillsides, dense forests of palms and giant ficus trees, and natural creeks and arroyos. Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf have done a masterful job of blending the elevation and natural features to create the ultimate golf experience. The master plan for the new, gated Vista Vallarta community was created by the team at Redstone Design in Denver, Colorado, and includes sites for two hotels, condominiums and private residences.
