Puerto Vallarta has always been a wonderful place to visit, but it was never known for its golf. That all changed in 2001, with the opening of Vista Vallarta Club de Golf and its two dynamic championship golf courses. Puerto Vallarta is now a global golf destination.
In 2002, the EMC World Cup, a World Golf Championship event, was held at Vista Vallarta, and broadcast around the globe. The facility got rave reviews, and fans watched the drama unfold at the beautiful 18 th hole at the Nicklaus Course, as the Japanese team of Shigeki Maruyama and Toshi Izawa triumphed over Phil Mickelson and David Toms of the United States.
The adidas Golf International Pro Am will be contested over both the Nickaus and Weiskopf courses of Vista Vallarta. |

Opened April 2001, the first course at Vista Vallarta is a Signature Design by Jack Nicklaus. Since this course is located on the properties highest elevation, golfers are treated not only to world class golf but will enjoy breathtaking views of Puerto Vallarta, the Marina and Banderas Bay as well. Grassy hillsides, dense forest of Palm and giant Ficas trees, natural creeks and arroyos provide the perfect setting for this world class course by the world's greatest player. |

Opened in November 1st, 2001. This Signature Design by Tom Weiskopf provides Vista Vallarta with a dramatic contrast from its first course. Built on the properties lower west end, golfers won't believe they have simply taken a different turn the club house. Here the terrain is extreme with dense jungles, deep ravines and swift creeks. Mr. Weiskopf has done a masterful job of blending the elevations and natural features into an incredibly playable experience... from the first tee to the green of the "driveable" 18th. |
