Head to Grupo mayan Nuevo Vallarta for a Golf Experience

Published by admin under golf, grupo mayan

A tropical paradise lining the Pacific, Nuevo Vallarta is another of the picturesque vacation destinations that is home to one of the grand resorts of the Grupo mayan.  Other than the pleasurable attractions of natural beauty, culture, local entertainment, shopping and more that surrounds the vibrant town, the luxuriously exotic Grupo mayan serves as an attraction all its own.

The Grupo mayan Nuevo Vallarta is delightfully embraced by a relaxed Mexican culture that plays a good part of the temptation it poses to vacationers.  Stretched along the gorgeously golden sandy beaches, the resort offers a perfect mix of modern convenience, traditional design, and spectacular views.  Other than its given distinctions, the resort also features superb golfing at its very own course.

The Grupo mayan with its beautiful golfing facility is situated just about a 20-minute drive away from downtown and a 15-minute drive away from the Puerto Vallarta International Airport.  Its geographical proximity to other city attractions makes it easier to shift from golfing to other activities.

Nestled between the lovely Bay of Banderas and the dramatic range of the Western Sierra Madre mountains, the golfing landscape of the Grupo mayan Nuevo Vallarta goes through lush tropical forests that eventually winds along sparkling lagoons.  Its gifted location offers some of the most spectacular golfing backdrops.  Originally designed by the world famous Jim Lipe to be the grand 18-hole par 71 course that it is today, the golf facility is currently going through a renovation led by none other than the eminent sport figure, Jack Nicklaus.

Though only 9-holes can be played at during this time at the Grupo mayan golf course in Nuevo Vallarta, not only recreational golfers but even the more seasoned can very well enjoy a game or more.  While at play, non-metal spikes and proper golf attire are required.  Golfers must also make use of their own equipment, but not having brought gears is not a problem as you can either buy at the pro shop or borrow from equipment rentals on site.

The verdant greens of the Grupo mayan Nuevo Vallarta are enjoyably peppered with obstacles making up for a challenging game golf.  Typically, two bunkers will be encountered with each advance to another hole.  The well-manicured fairways have also been delightfully dotted water hazards and sand traps.  Other amenities and services found on the Grupo mayan Golf Course include an amply spaced putting green, snack bar, group clinics and private lessons, equipment storage, caddies, locker rooms and more.  The Greenbreak restaurant that overlooks the greens is an excellent place to avail of sumptuous Mediterranean cuisine.
