# Are You Ready For a Father-Son Golf Getaway in Puerto Vallarta This Summer? If you have been thinking about planning a Father's Day trip that goes beyond the typical brunch-and-a-card routine, Puerto Vallarta might be exactly what you need. Velas Vallarta, a family-friendly all-inclusive resort on Mexico's Pacific coast, just launched a program called "My First Golf Experience" that gives kids ages 6-15 professional golf instruction at the neighboring Marina Vallarta Golf Course. It is the kind of trip where you and your son can bond over something new together, and honestly, that is what the best guys trips are made of. ## What My First Golf Experience Includes The program is a one-hour golf clinic designed specifically for young beginners. Your kid does not need to know anything about golf going in. A professional instructor walks them through the basics: grip, stance, swing mechanics, and course etiquette. Everything they need is provided, including access to the Marina Vallarta Golf Course and all the equipment. Each participant also gets a welcome kit with a backpack, t-shirt, and hat, which honestly is a nice touch that makes the whole thing feel special for them. ![Beyond Detroit: Best Places In Michigan For A Guys Trip](https://www.mantripping.com/images/stories/beyond-detroit-michigan-guys-trips/pretzel-and-craft-beers-in-grand-rapids-michigan.jpg) ### Beyond Detroit: Best Places In Michigan For A Guys Trip Discover Michigan's best guys trip destinations, from Grand Rapids' brewery scene to outdoor adventures in Pictured Rocks and Copper Harbor.

You do not need to be good at it to enjoy it together. The fact that your kid gets structured instruction while you are right there on the course means you are sharing the experience, not just watching from the sidelines. And when they nail that first clean drive, that high-five moment is the kind of thing you both remember. Beyond the golf, Velas Vallarta is a genuine all-inclusive, which means your meals, drinks, and most activities are covered. They have multiple restaurants, a spa, pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and a kids club for ages 4-12. So if you are bringing the whole family, everyone has something to do while you and your son are on the course. ![Family riding golf cart at Marina Vallarta Golf Course in Puerto Vallarta](https://menwhoblog.com/images/blog-posts/father-son-golf-getaway-puerto-vallarta/family-golf-cart-marina-vallarta-golf-course.png) ## The Details You Need Nightly rates at Velas Vallarta start at $205 per person per night based on double occupancy. That all-inclusive rate covers suite accommodations, a la carte gourmet meals, premium drinks, 24-hour in-suite service, fitness center, taxes, and gratuity. For a beachfront all-inclusive in Puerto Vallarta, that is competitive pricing. The resort sits on Banderas Bay with 345 suites, and they have been recognized with EarthCheck Master certification after 15 consecutive years of Gold certification, which tells you something about how they operate. For reservations, call 1-888-407-4869 or visit [velasvallarta.com](https://www.velasvallarta.com). ## Bottom Line Father's Day does not have to be complicated. A couple of nights at an all-inclusive where you and your son can learn golf together, eat well, and actually relax? That is a trip worth booking. The "My First Golf Experience" program gives you a built-in activity that is memorable and meaningful, and Puerto Vallarta gives you the backdrop to make it all feel like an adventure.
