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.

Lots of excellent holes

Greens were not great. Fairways were excellent. Group in front of us must have thought they were playing for huge money because they were extremely slow. We finally finished at 6:15 and everything was closed.

First Time Playing

Overall course has a good layout and is a challenge for all abilities. Very similar in style to a typical course in Florida. Water on many holes in play from the tee but ample area to land your tee ball. Several holes with water tight to the smallish greens. Bunkers seem to be in a midst of a renovation so some are poor lots of small stones and liners showing and some with brand new brilliant white sand that’s needs grooming. I think many player don’t realize there is a rake on your cart because it is quite evident players are not raking after play which is of no fault of the club. Waste areas are in need of some maintenance as well. Greens play better than they look. About 3 greens were in quite poor shape and look like they had suffered some disease. But the main thing is that most all putted decent and I would estimate stimp was 9-10. Overall we would return and we really enjoyed our day and was worth what we paid on the hot deal $90. HCP of players 2 and 17.

This course has a number of very memorable holes

The greens were very ugly. They had been cut too short for a pga event that took place there and had not come back. They still putted OK. We finished at 5:30 and were politely ushered out the door at 6. Can’t they stay open a little long so we could enjoy our afterround beverage? They were great keeping us hydrated on the course though. Very much appreciated. Love the layout.

Ok

I haven’t played a lot of Mexican course so not much context. It was fine, but that’s all. Greens were scrubby, rental clubs had rock hard grips, beautiful location but the gated community was eerily absent of people.

Needs work

I like this course. It is too bad that the greens and sand traps need work. After they get the sand in the traps to be consistent (some were like concrete and some had gravel) and repair the greens (looks like a blight killed sections of grass), I will return and try it again.

Nice course

Course had been aerated recently. Greens were a little bumpy but mostly grown in. Fairways still had not grown back in yet

Nice driving range with balls included in green fees

GPS on carts really helps on new course

Rental clubs were Titleist and in good shape

Course has water on almost every hole and is good test

Dog leg left or right on almost all holes

Overall nice course and would play again

Challenging layout

Challenging layout and staff was excellent. Course was very dry and needed water to make it worth the price we paid.

Greens being worked on

We played there after they had done work on the greens. The holes punched where the biggest I have ever seen, made it impossible to get a role on the ball. Somewhat disappointing. Would have been good to get a warning. Not worth the money. Double check green condition before committing.
