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 and waterfountains,
have made it increasingly popular in the last few years. |

Vista
Vallarta Golf Club
Shortly after the Jack Nicklaus at Vista Vallarta Golf Club
opened in early 2001, it was chosen to host the 2002 EMC
World Golf Championships.Now it is one of the first choices
of courses to play when visitors arrive. They all want to
play the course the pros played. It doesn’t hurt that the
course is pushed up against the foothills of the Sierra
Madre Mountains with its highest holes serving up stunning
views of the Bay of Banderas. The 7,073-yard, par-72 course
will make you think, especially on the greens. In typical
Nicklaus style, this course has generous driving areas, but
the greens have more undulations than some tricked-up
miniature golf courses. All are well guarded and bunkered,
putting a premium on the approach shots. The holes
themselves are well-conceived: Nicklaus chose to work with
the natural contours of the former ranchland, which means
the holes have more individuality and character than most
designers and architects can create. Some will curse the
rolling terrain, and others will marvel at the grassy
hillsides, dense forests of palm, giant ficus trees and
natural creeks. Either way you look at it, it’s a course
that gets people talking. |
