Isla Navidad is a stunning 27-hole golf course that sits right along the Pacific, surrounded by beautiful mountains. The sparkling waters of the Navidad Lagoon also weave through the course. The layout is broken up into three nines that are named after the stunning and diverse landscape: Ocean, Mountain, and Lagoon. The Mountain Course is probably the most distracting of the three nines thanks to the spectacular views. The surrounding mountains serve as the backdrop throughout the golf course, giving each hole a unique view. It has less water than either the Ocean or the Lagoon Courses but it still has a prominent presence, most notably on the eighth hole. This strategically demanding par 5 has a heavily watered fairway and an expansive freshwater marsh guarding the green, not to mention an abundance of bunkers, mounding, and trees all along the right side.

Used to be a good course

I have never felt more taken advantage of on a golf course. The rate posted was not what I paid at the course, the rental clubs I used were from the 1990s and charged almost the same price as the round, they made us use a caddie (they said was mandatory but never mentioned on their website or anywhere else prior to the round) and then they mentioned after the 13th hole that we had to close at five and couldn’t play the rest of the round. They were friendly as they took advantage of us but I would not recommend playing this course while there. Also, course track is pretty good but the conditions were terrible. You can’t tell the difference between rough and fairway and it hasn’t been mowed. Coconuts laying everywhere and just not maintained at all. Greens and tee boxes were ok. It was pretty obvious that they aren’t busy enough to hire staff and maintain the course.

Expect little and enjoy the views

Greens not true. You have to hammer putts to go straight. Beautiful ocean views. Only 18 of the 27 holes are playable. Caddies are great but shouldn’t be mandatory. Club rental $30 US and caddies $35. Use golf now for cheaper rates.

Don’t expect Palm Springs

Nice views and good to play but the course after all fees is not worth the play. Unfortunately you do not have a lot of options in this area. The greens are not true or good. The added fees for clubs, caddie (required) etc add up to what should be an amazing course. Expect to pay 150-200 and get to play a course worth 65-85. Enjoyed it somewhat but if you are looking for a Palm Springs type course …….. you will be bitterly disappointed.

Alert! Alert!

We booked a tee time (hot deal) on this course thru golf now got to the course and the pro shop would not honour the prepaid tee time stating he was not getting a fair price back from golf now. Obviously he never read his contract with them as is my understanding the idea is The course gets advertising administrative perks from golf now in return for a few tee times they can offer their golfers. The pro shop wanted us to pay a higher full fee and get a refund from golf now. As we were in the pro shop another group were having the same problem. We have used golf now many many times and never had this issue. We’ve contacted golf now and they are looking into it.....

Did you ever receive a response regarding this issue? Just curious....

And, by the way, if you are a 5-9 handicap you are an advanced player. Don't sell yourself short!

Great golf on the beach

It is a great golf course with 27 holes. You can either play "ocean" or "mountain".

The course conditions are not prestine, but very good overall. The only downside is that you will be most likely playing alone. Yo will hardly see anyone else playing.

I guess one reason for this is that they have a 250 usd green fee. Absurdly high.

Thanks to Golf Now I played for 44 usd, and for that money it is absolutely fantastic.

FABULOUS GOLF & SERVICE

We played 27 holes on this great golf course. I have played in several other Mexico resorts and this is definitely tops. The condition is good even if they had lots of rain recently. Caddie service is outsatnding.
They have a special rate of $75 USD on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
