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.

An apart from the lady at the pro shop...no smile...no welcome...so so...
A big special thank you to the guy who welcome us at the starter it was 5 stars thank you so much guys
Wonderful golf outing
The golf course was a pleasure to play. Nice wide fairways are for the most part forgiving, but water does come into play on some holes as well. I will definitely want to play this course again when we come on vacation to P.V. next time.
Amazing Experience
You won’t regret playing here! Beautiful course, well kept grounds, A+++ service
Paid for “hot rate” on golf now and very happy customer.
Played several times
Over a number of years we have played El Tigre many times. It is good to see the course back on GolfNow. Our only caution would be that golfers arrange pick up as the taxi took a long time to arrive and was in terrible shape.
Challenging
Great layout. Water comes in to play in a number of holes. Plays from the whites to 6200 yards. Green side bunkers could use a bit more sand as at times it’s difficult to properly slide the club under due to the minimal amount of “soft” sand.
Nice, expensive course
Nice track. Good challenge. But not worth the $160usd they want to play it. I’ve played better tracks for less. But that’s golf in the Puerto Vallarta area.
Tight lies
Course is in good shape but fairways are thin and wet. Tight wet lies everywhere on fairways present a challenge. With water in play on 10 holes any slight miss hit costs you. Greens were very good and fast. Great layout, just need a bit more grass on the fairways.
Excellent value
Course is great but be prepared for delays accessing the private community. Reception staff indifferent to visitors.
Great staff
All personnel are very friendly and do their jobs professionally. The course is challenging and is reasonably maintained. Look forward to playing it again.
Nice Vaca Course
El Tigre is a good quality vacation course...challenging layout, in good condition. Greens are in good shape. Not super fast but putt ok. Lots of water and sand. Twilight or Golfnow rates makes it a better value.
Nice Course
Good course. Check in was a bit disorganized but course layout is fantastic. Most holes penalize you with distance for playing safe so if you’re not feeling confident it plays a bit long. Lots of water and many bunkers. Every hole has high end homes. Gated community. Pace was decent for the most part. Unlimited range.
Nice course
Like most courses in Mexico it is very expensive. Nice track and service was great!
Love this course every time
Second round at El Tigre this trip and we got smoked deal on Golf Now to boot. Course is always in great shape and the staff is fantastic.
Can’t wait to come back next year.
