Vista Vallarta Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, host site for the 2002 World Golf Championships- EMC World Cup, and the 2006 Puerto Vallarta Blue Agave Golf Classic Champions Tour Event.
With over three million visitors each year, Puerto Vallarta has long been the gem of the Mexican Pacific resort coastline. It's legendary beauty, grand sunsets, spectacular Banderas Bay, views of the Pacific Ocean, regal Sierra Madre mountain ranges, friendly people, water sports, ecological treasures, art history, culture, gourmet cuisine, and now world-class golf have made this lush tropical location Mexico’s destination of choice for vacationers from around the world.
Vista Vallarta hosted the 2002 World Golf Championships – EMC World Cup in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Spread across 478 acres, the Vista Vallarta Club de Golf encompasses two 18-hole, Par-72 championship golf courses: the first is a Signature Golf Course Design by golf legend Jack Nicklaus, and the neighboring course is a Signature Course Design by golf great Tom Weiskopf.
Opened on April 1, 2001, the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course is located on the property's highest elevation, offering breathtaking views of Puerto Vallarta, the Marina and the Banderas Bay, arguably the best shelter marina in Mexico. Grassy hillsides, dense forest of palm, giant trees and natural creeks provide the setting for this world-class course.

The course plays through towering forests of palms and papillae trees and across deep natural ravines and swift creeks that are characteristic of the properties lowest elevations.
