Vista Vallarta – Jack Nicklaus
Course overview
The Vista Vallarta golf club has two courses set on the hillside, overlooking Puerto Vallarta. One is designed by Jack Nicklaus and the other by Tom Weiskopf. They both share the same facilities.
Jack Nicklaus’s golf course was ranked the 8th best Mexican golf course in 2014 by the Golfweek Magazine. In 2002, Vista Vallarta hosted for the first time the WGC World Cup.
The course challenges each golfer; while large fairways seem to be ample, strategic bunkers make it risky to take the shortest route on several holes. In addition, golfers appreciate Vista Vallarta for its luxurious vegetation and breathtaking views of Puerto Vallarta, the Marina, the Banderas Bay and the Sierra Madre Mountains.
