Nayar Golf Course Nuevo Vallarta

Nayar Golf Course is located in Nuevo Vallarta, a planned resort community along Mexico's Pacific coast in Nayarit state, just north of Puerto Vallarta. The course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in the late 1990s as part of the broader Paradise Village resort development. It occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the coastal plain, with the layout incorporating natural and constructed water features, tropical vegetation, and views toward the Sierra Madre mountains inland. The design reflects Nicklaus's approach to resort golf in tropical settings, with generous fairways balanced by strategic bunkering and water hazards that come into play on multiple holes. The course winds through residential areas and resort properties, typical of integrated developments in this region. Palm trees, flowering plants, and native scrub frame many holes, and the proximity to Banderas Bay means coastal breezes often influence play, particularly in the afternoon. Nayar serves primarily as an amenity for resort guests and local members in the Nuevo Vallarta area. The course is part of the region's golf tourism infrastructure, which has grown significantly since the 1990s as Puerto Vallarta and surrounding areas developed into a major destination for North American travelers. The layout is walkable and designed to accommodate a range of skill levels, consistent with its role as a resort facility. Conditioning and maintenance standards align with expectations for tropical coastal courses in Mexico's established resort zones.
