About
Located in Nuevo Vallarta, El Tigre Club de Golf enjoys views that stretch to the western Sierra Madre. The design team of Robert Von Hagge, Mike Smelek, and Rick Baril transformed what used to be a flat piece of land into a lush, tropical paradise. Nine water features were added, which come into play on 12 holes, and the terrain was molded and contoured to provide interesting elevation changes. The golf course's proximity to the ocean means that it is also subject to strong prevailing winds, especially in the early evening. The course finishes with two of its most difficult holes. El Tigre Club de Golf's par-3 17th has plenty of sand and water in play to prepare you for the beastly par-5 finishing hole. This 621-yard monster is practically a par 6 with water down the entire left side and a green surrounded by sand.

Very nice course. Great staff!
Enjoyed my day there. Rentals were excellent. They had just completed aeration of the greens but were still very playable. 19th hole is closed. Met an excellent person to play along with from Van Couver. Norwin helped make the day.
Vacation golf - wrong course
We had to rent clubs, the clubs looked warn.
Son hit a drive down the center of fairway, while the head of the club flew off.
At the turn notified the shop.
They immediately wanted us to wait for the club pro.
We proceeded to finish the round.
Some guy came out from the maintenance shop, told us we had pay for it.with all the high fees for the rentals and their relationship with the product manufacturer, they would work with us.
Buyer beware if playing. This course😩
El Tigre
Wonderful course for the price I paid. Staff was great. Good layout. Challenging Par 3 and Par 5’s. A lot of iguanas all over the course so be careful when driving the cart. They ganged up on me and stole my apple empanada!!!
bignasty
one of the best Mexico has to offer ! staff a joy! to work with. pro shop great course layout test and condition really good cups could be cut cleaner but tough with that kinda grass bar restaraunt shut down for remodeling but cart girls A num 1 !!!
Great golf
It was a great expirience, very friendly people and the course was in a very nice condition.
Nice course with great staff
Course was in great shape. We were a little backed up and were waiting on every hole. When we started there was a bit of a mix up with times the group infront of us said their time was 4 minutes before us. Proper behind us also waiting on every hole. The views were nice on most holes, the bunkers had nice soft sand. The cart was stocked with lots of water and ambassador driving around with even more water! Cart girl around often, wish there were a little more options for snacks. The staff were absolutely wonderful and the club cleaning station and practice facilities were nice. Price was way too high unless you got a golf now hot deal. Would recommend.
Not worth the fee!
Course is ok. As a plus handicapped golfer I expect the bunkers to be raked, the greens to be consistent and the holes to be cut and painted properly. $400 USD is absolutely ridiculous.
Not worth the high price
Signage directions non existent so had trouble finding where the course parking/entrance was. No bag drop was apparent either so had to drag clubs quite a distance from parking lot. Wasn’t hospitable when we arrived or with getting set up (with cart etc). Course was in fair (at best) condition so glad we got a less expensive rate than the published rate but still definitely NOT worth the $200/pp we paid Wouldn’t play there again unless it was at least half the price we paid.
Good course but don’t worth the full price
It’s a nice course but i’d never pay full price for this course… 500 usd is crazy expensive for the experience you get there.
Conditions Have Improved
I was rather harsh on my last review about this facility. The overall condition of the course has improved. Greens are still in need of some care. Lot of sand on a number of them. Issue with the sand is they did a poor job of rolling the top and they have clumps along the way.
The bunkers are a mystery. Either players have no idea how to rank the bunkers or they only rake once a week. Sand is very inconsistent around the course. Sand on 18 they have enough to re nourish the beach at Paradise Village. Crazy.
The course is a great layout and very fun to play.
The course staff is great. Bag drop to player assistance was excellent.
El Tigre
Nice facility. The range is awesome and the course layout is challenging. It was very humid and the rough was very thick due to recent rain. This made play more difficult as the course Was hungry and swallowed balls even a couple of paces off the fairway. Outside of the rough being US open length it’s a great track. Greens ran true and decent speed.
