Puerto Vallarta is quickly developing a reputation
as being the best golf destination in Mexico. Home to seven world-class
golf courses, including designs by some of the greats such as
Jack Nicklaus, Tom Weiskopf, and Robert Van Hagge.
The newest course, and perhaps the best, is
El Tigre in Nuevo Vallarta, at the fabulous Paradise Village.
The 7,239 yard, Par-72 course consists of eight water bodies and
was commissioned to be "the most exciting championship golf course
in Mexico".
Nicklaus' senior designer, Jim Lipe, authored
the 6,700-yard Mayan Palace Golf Club, just next door to
El Tigre. Mayan Palace is a fun, less-challenging course with
a hefty 580-yard, dogleg-left par-5 No. 13. Another scenic hole
is a 180-yard par 3 that plays over a lake to an oceanfront green
with a view of the Pacific.
Ten minutes from the Marina are two championship
courses at Vista Vallarta. The PGA NEC Invitational
is played here, and you'll see why. The Nicklaus Course measures
7,057 yards and features long Par-5's, while the Weiskopf course
features more jungle growth and a signature Par-3 that appears
to be carved out of a jungle hillside.
The Golden
Bear's best offering may be the Punta Mita where Pebble
Beach scenery mixes with turquoise-colored Pacific Ocean golf
holes and perfect winter temperatures. Punta Mita is uncrowded
and has one of the most spectacular holes in the world, a par
3 of 190 yards, that plays to a natural black, lava-rock island.
Your only entry to the green comes at low tide, tip-toeing across
a sandbar, unless you have an amphibious vehicle or boat. You
will need a low, boring shot nailed into a tough head wind or
cross wind to par this one. Eight holes border the ocean with
a photo op at every turn.
Marina Vallarta
Golf Club
is not one of our favorites, but due to it's location it is quite
popular, replete with jungle foliage, lagoons, iguanas, tropical
birds, and a pretty strong golf course designed by Joe Finger.
The course winds its way through countless palm trees and a number
of holes feature views of Banderas Bay.
Just three minutes from Paradise Village
is Los Flamingos Country Club. This 18-hole course is located
in the countryside with lakes, jungle and countless birds. It
was designed by architect Percy J. Clifford and offers tennis,
too.
Golf in Puerto Vallarta is truly a spectacular experience.
The PGA just made their first visit to Puerto Vallarta in
2006, and it was a great event. Now you can play where
the pros play - in the fabulous courses of the Puerto Vallarta
area. To book a golf tee time, just use the links on the

Vallarta!
