As of yesterday.....
Annual membership: $60,000P
Green fee: $2,300P 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
$1,700P after 2 p.m.
Cart: $250P per person
5 game package: $10,350P, includes cart.
10 game package: $19,550P, includes cart
Packages are not transferrable; they will take your picture when you buy. Also, they are only valid in the calendar month you buy, so, if you're going to buy a package, the recommendation is to buy early in the month.
Marina course update: Carts are now $400P ($200P per person). They have some nearly new carts now, some gas, some electric (mostly electric). Greens and fairways have improved. A 50 round package is $35,000P (does not include the cart).

Right but they won’t make money on the carts in that time period. The new owners will rent some to their friends at Xmas. The carts that had been at Palma real were well over ten years old

It’s still a joke alright. 100.00 to play, 40.00 club rental.
It’s just sad to not be able to play a round now.
Wrong owners that care nothing about keeping golf fun and affordable for all.
They just don’t have a clue.
As I’ve said in the past, maybe worth 100.00 if the course was in nice shape but it’s not.
On the scale of 1 to 10 it’s maybe getting a 4 with the views to sell it.

Yep that 100 peso price at twilite is certainly gonna make people hold onto their money. On another note they bought what amounts to 300,000 usd of new carts. I sense they will still look new 3 years from now.

Nothing that close to the ocean will look new in three years. Also the "price reductions" were a joke.

New prices at Palma Real G.C.
7 a.m. to 2 p.m. $2300P. After 2 p.m. $1700P.

Thanks for the heads up. They told me earlier this week that a small decrease hadn't been confirmed. I guess the confirmation came through. Gracias.

Actually the solution is to not play either course at all until they clean up their act!

Just there in October and agree that Marina is nearly unplayable.

Returning Saturday for a golf trip with buddies. We will play a few rounds (times 6 guys) at Palma. Frankly, $125 USD is certainly pricey for that course, but it remains inexpensive compared to Cabo or Hawaii.

We will also struggle through at least one round at Marina. The BEST way to put pressure on Palma is to give Marina a little money and hope they realize the time is right to improve it. It was a wonderful course before the years of neglect.

It will take Palma time to realize their fees are excessive. Asking others to forgo playing so the price drops quicker for those who stay for longer periods is not a reasonable solution.

Cut down on rounds at Palma. Force yourself to endure an occasional round at Marina and hope they improve - that is a solution.

It's in pretty bad shape. Only way to play it for the average player is to make your own rules for relief from unplayable lies and ground that should be marked under repair. It's about 1000MXN per round. I played with a guy at Palma Real earlier this week, and he said they quit after #15 as they felt it was unplayable. They are trying to mow the entire course with a small push behind mower.

Palma Real is in the best condition it has been in in years, but, there is still a long way to go and this latest price increase is unjustified. If all you walk-up one week people would refuse to play PR, they would be forced to adjust their prices.

I haven’t played it for 5 years but others say it’s still pretty bad. Carts were in bad shape and course in bas shape.
Others can chime in since they’ve played recently.

We have our clubs packed, coming down next week for an extended stay. We aren't bringing them after seeing these prices. Before we give up golf for the winter, how bad is the Marina course?

This is too bad. I know so many people who came down for the winter and this was a top priority.
I am guessing games like pickle ball and similar will become even more popular.

Even the folks that can afford or don’t care about rates going up won’t play.
Ixtapa off the radar now for golf.
We’ll probably hear about condos going in more and more around the golf course and then it will be gone.

As of December 1st prices increased twilite rate up 50% to 1800 pesos and regular hours to 2500 pesos. After the butchering of the greens with the verticut, way out of reach for regular folks.
