Marina Golf Course

The course is not in bad shape. Rough has been mowed, so minimal lost balls. Some areas are overwatered and others not watered enough. I lost a ball on 11 the par 3 that must have plugged in a wet area left of the green. Number 8 has the bridge out and you have to detour back through 5. However, steel has arrived and it looks like it was cut, so maybe it won't be that long to install. The tide was up and there was standing water in the area of 5 and 8. Salt water, so no grass will grow unless they bring in a lot of fill to raise it up over the brackish water table. Generally, I hit over the problem area on 5 to the grass and on 8 it affects the third shot. There are various lateral grass mounds to hit from in this area to take a drop. The bridges from 13 to 14 and over the water on 14 are new. The greens were ok, but on the slow side as always.

I really appreciate you sharing such helpful detailed updates on the condition of these courses with everyone. Thank you VERY much! Valuable info for visitors and residents alike.

Not sure if anyone else here remembers when Marina Ixtapa and its golf course were built, but recent discussion about crocs reminded me that hundreds of crocs were killed there illegally and shipped out to build the marina and golf course, and no one in any part of the local, state or federal government seemed to care when it was brought to their attention.
