Marina Vallarta Golf Club
The Marina Vallarta Golf Club with 18 championship holes was designed by the American architect Joe Finger. Its magnificent view of Banderas Bay and the natural obstacles such as palms, tropical plants, and natural lagoons along with abundant wildlife, have made it increasingly popular.
Paradise Village Golf Course "El Tigre"
This course has been lightheartedly described as “one of the most challenging in Mexico,” yet the overall the course is considered forgiving by even novice golfers. “Creating the most exciting championship 18 hole golf course in Mexico” was the challenge given to the team of Von Hagge, Smelek and Baril. The result, a 7,239 yard masterpiece.
Flamingos Golf Course
This well groomed 6,982 yard course covers more than 72 acres and is lined with orange, mango, and lemon trees. Shots are not only visually exciting, but challenging for players of all levels. Flamingos is in a location convenient to both Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta.
Mayan Resorts Golf Nuevo Vallarta
While the open fairways play well for the recreational golfer, even the most experienced will be challenged by seven lakes, a river and of course the ocean. The stretch of holes #13 and #14 makes your round of golf a very special experience. Hole #13 is a dog-leg par 5 that runs along the Ameca River, it has a breathtaking view of the green and the Pacific Ocean in the background. Hole #14 is the signature hole, a 153 yard par 3 that has the Pacific Ocean on the left side, and a beautiful lake that protects the front and right side of the green.
Tamarindo Golf Course
Seldom does an architect have the opportunity to design a golf course on land that has such an abundance of natural features; a test that renowned golf course designer David Fleming has met beyond all expectations. The greatest challenge of the design was not to overwork the property, but to work with what Mother Nature had already given. Where the course exits the jungle onto three breathtaking ocean front holes, more shots are taken with cameras than golf clubs. The ocean is seen from nine holes with spectacular beaches and crashing surf.
Four Seasons Golf Course Punta Mita
When Jack Nicklaus designed the course for the Four Seasons Resort at Punta Mita, he did something unique. He used a small island, about 175 yards offshore, for one of the greens. It is surrounded by what has to be the biggest water hazard in the world, the Pacific Ocean, and is the only natural island green in the world. This semi- private course, intended for hotel guests of the Four Seasons Resort and golf club members, is not played as heavily as most public courses.
Isla Navidad Golf Course
Isla Navidad is one of the most lush golf resorts in the world, with twenty seven holes that offer spectacular ocean, lagoon and mountain views. The tee boxes are better than 90% of the greens in the U.S., and the fairways are like an emerald carpet. With an unusually long ocean frontage, its design is a blend of golfing challenge and beauty. Wind, light and surface variance challenge different skill levels on greens that extend into the lagoon or the mountains. Many holes have a magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean as their backdrop.
