MARINA VALLARTA

Marina Vallarta enjoys a fantastic location, with the beach on one side and Banderas Bay and the marina on the other, with views of the Sierra Madre proving a constant distraction. And that's not all that will take your mind off the game. You'll witness iguanas sunning themselves on rocks, the odd alligator skulking in the water, and on holes such as the signature 13^th the Pacific laps on the shore literally just a few feet from the green.

Marina Vallarta Golf Club is unusual among resort golf courses in Mexico because it beautifully combines the area's beautiful natural landscape with a layout that will fully test your golfing skills. Waterfalls, a peninsula dotted with coconut palms and a natural lagoon filled with wildlife border some testing fairways which demand accuracy and length in equal measure. The course is challenging but not impossibly so, and multiple tees make it accessible to all but the complete novice.

Its spectacular hacienda style clubhouse is located just a few minutes from other facilities such as a driving range, chipping and putting areas and golf shop.

The golf course is a part of the luxurious Marina Vallarta hotel and condominium complex, and is only a short walk from all the major hotels in this resort area.
