Vallarta: The Paradise Of Golf Courses

Golf is a hugely popular sport worldwide, with a massive following that appeals to people from all walks of life, transcending age, gender, background, and social status.

From the early days when golfers played over natural terrain, such as fields, sandy dunes, or coastal landscapes, the sport has significantly changed in course design, equipment technology, and the professional game. Modern golf courses have meticulous design features such as manicured fairways, bunkers, water hazards, and greens. 

Nowhere is modern golf typified more so than in Puerto Vallarta. And while the city may not be historically associated with the origins of golf, it has become a popular destination for golf enthusiasts. Puerto Vallarta and the Banderas Bay area offer several world-class golf courses and amenities that cater to residents and tourists. 

Here is why Puerto Vallarta golf exemplifies the modern aspects of the sport with some outstanding courses surrounded by spectacular views:
