Vista Vallarta Golf Club (Weiskopf)

Overview: Vista Vallarta Golf Club ~ Weiskopf is the Weiskopf Signature Course at Vista Vallarta in Mexico. Vista Vallarta Golf Club ~ Weiskopf occupies the lower, western portion of the Vista Vallarta property and feels like a deliberate contrast to the Nicklaus course. Dense jungle, deep ravines, swift creeks and a more enclosed routing make the holes feel intimate, with the natural terrain doing much of the architectural work. The design credit at Vista Vallarta Golf Club ~ Weiskopf goes to Tom Weiskopf. The published profile for Vista Vallarta Golf Club ~ Weiskopf records a public-welcome par-72, 6,993-yard course designed around ravines, creeks and dense tropical vegetation.

History: The Weiskopf course opened on November 1, 2001 as the second 18-hole layout at Vista Vallarta. The club lists it at par 72 and 6,993 yards, and destination sources emphasize the contrast between this lower course and the panoramic higher ground of the Nicklaus routing.

Did You Know? The 18th is described as a driveable par 4, an unusual finish that gives the course a risk-and-reward ending after its ravines and creek crossings. Its identity is therefore not simply “the other Vista course”; it has its own lower-jungle landscape and closing decision.
