18 holes, par 72, 6993 yards. All prices are per person and include golf cart rental and range balls.
Vista Vallarta Weiskopf Golf Course, built in rugged, dense jungle terrain of Mexico is making a name for itself. The challenging layout, which presents scenic views as it winds through the jungles in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains, offers just as much of a challenge as the Nicklaus course.
Weiskopf's masterpiece, unveiled after the Jalisco Governors Cup in November 2001, is a dramatic contrast to the other side of the property. The holes here were dropped into a lush jungle, the rolling fairways routed on ridges and what it lacks in expansive views, it more than compensates with pace and beauty. Weiskopf has done a masterful job of blending the elevations and natural features to create the ultimate experience. With a couple of par-5s no longer than 500 yards and a drivable par-4 finishing hole, this course is one that can be had by the average golfer. The test is fair for the duffers, and probably would be considered easy by many single-digit players. Many higher handicappers prefer this course for several reasons. For one, it has very few blind shots. What you see in front of you is where you hit it. Secondly, the greens are true and not as tricky as the Nicklaus layout. Third, Weiskopf made this course much more receptive around the greens, which provides a better time for the average golfer. Weiskopf's layout is an incredibly playable experience from the first tee to the green of the drivable 18th hole, making for an enjoyable time for those who aren’t the best golfers, yet love the game just the same.
