Often considered one of the best and most beautiful golf destinations in Mexico, the Vista Vallarta Golf Club features two high-elevation courses designed by renowned golfers Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf respectively. Here, members and non-members can play a leisurely 18 holes surrounded by views of both Banderas Bay and Sierra Madre mountains before retiring to the on-site clubhouse, bar, or restaurant.
Inaugurated in 2001, both the Nicklaus and Weiskopf courses offer challenging holes and a dense jungle setting. The former is characterized by palms and natural creeks, while the latter is more dramatic still, featuring deep ravines and various elevations. Travelers looking to squeeze in a round of golf at Vista Vallarta Golf Club should book tee times online in advance—for anything from one to four people—to guarantee their spot at one of these world-class courses.

Vista Vallarta Golf Club is open daily, typically from 7am to 7pm for members and non-members alike, and is at its busiest in the middle of the day. Arrive early to squeeze in a full day of golfing or beat the midday heat or drop by in the late afternoon when it’s quieter. Tee times are offered throughout the day.

On the opposite coast, you can’t go wrong with the spectacular Riviera Cancún course.
