Flamingos is located just 20 minutes
north of Puerto Vallarta. There are taxis available at all
hotels. Flamingos also runs a free shuttle bus twice a day from Puerto
Vallarta. Pick up outside the Sheraton hotel at 8am and 10am and
return at 2pm and 4pm. Pickups by reservation only.
The new ownership of Flamingos is dedicated to improving the
quality of the course and the area. They have recently completed a
new club house and pro shop. Plans include improving and expanding
the irrigation system.
The feeling of openness is just one of the many feelings you will
experience when playing a round of golf here. Flamingos has fairways
that surround most of the greens, so chipping will play a big role on
these undulating greens. This alone will add to the excitement and
challenge of this well-groomed masterpiece. The reason for this is
that we utilized closely mowed areas around the greens to bring into
play the challenge of chipping that has been traditional at the
better, older courses. The greens are very receptive to this.
Additionally, we tried to make shots not only visually exciting, but
challenging for all levels of players with all aspects of the game
requiring attention. The fairway landing areas are quite generous, 40
yards wide on average. Some holes can be very challenging, and golfers
generally will use every club in their bag. This course, with 3 sets
of tees to accommodate players of all levels, offers championship
playing conditions sunrise to sunset, all year long. |
