El Tigre Club de Golf

The greens were punched the day before starter took off 30.00 off the 110.00 we paid.Even though there we punched still in decent shape, the course was in great condition lots of water!! Golf now price 110.00 ,golf website price 195.00

Get your hands on a golf now hot deal and this is an excellent experience. I wouldn't pay the $175 to play it but I got a great rate and had a great time. Great service and great facilities. I was dissapointed with the greens with excessive amounts of sand on them but I hear it was end of season so just be aware. I would also recommend that you view all large bunkers as waste bunkers. Not much sand and lots of rocks and debris that you don't want to hit out of. Fun challenging layout.

A great layout that was in very average condition, especially for the price. I don't think they get very much non member play. Grass driving range, bunker and large putting green. The course winds through homes and has many water hazards in play. If it was in better condition it would be a destination course. Greens had some goose grass in them, were thin in some spots and a bit on the slow side. Good roll in the fairways and while thin in a few spots I never really had a bad lie. GPS carts. Pace was fantastic, we went out as a twosome about a half hour after a bunch of member foursomes and never caught up until the 16th hole. Just in time to check out the caged animals by the 16th green and the Bengal Tigers (El Tigre) behind the 17th tee. Lots of Iguanas to be seen on the course too. A very affordable restaurant with a patio overlooking the 18th hole

Played El Tigre again after a two year hiatus . Joined two good guys from Bc and Alberta The course is showing some age, wear and tear The greens were better than some reviewers recently posted. The traps/ bunkers have always been firm. The staff always are some what guarded with non members They could not find my online golf now booking!! Anyway anywhere you are playing is a good day!!

Course was in very good shape. We virtually had the course to ourselves. Played in under 4 hours which is how golf was meant to be played. If El Tigre would offer more tee times with deals they would attract more golfers.

Great facility friendly accommodating staff. A couple of well laid out holes. The par 3 #6 stood out. The rest have that "didn't I just play this hole" look. All the greens were in good shape and had the right speed for me. Fairways and ruff had a consistent dry look. It wasn't a busy day but the marshalls could have help the two groups in front to move quicker. It was a hot afternoon so I appreciated the mini cooler with 3 bottles of water. I figure the best price for this course was half of what I paid relative to other courses I've experienced.

À bit overpriced but an excellent cours

Greens had been punched 2 weeks ago ad a lot of sand on the greens but they roiled true. Fairly open course in a gated community which if you played any of the 100s of Florida courses, this is equivalent. Staff was super friendly! Course was in great shape (note greens above). Overall a nice day but not at the full rate.is expensive. Look fro the Hot Deal!

Played this course many times over the years. This year was a little different because we were not staying at the property. We stayed near the marina in Puerta Villarta. We played the Marina Vallarta, Vista Villarta, Flamingo, and El Tigre. El Tigre had the best greens by far and the entire course was in great condition. It is by far the best value in the area. The other courses have battled a fungus of some type and the greens were completely burned out but not El Tigre. They had some damage don't get me wrong, but overall in great shape and a great value. Expected to see some of the other courses in the area reduce their greens fees based on the horrible condition their greens were in but that was not the case!

El Tigre golf course pro's and cons.
Pros: Great course that hosts LPGA event.
Uncrowded when we played. Literally two singles played thru our 3some. Good bermuda greens and descent driving range and putting greens. Pin settings were good and made you think about your shot. Hole #17 has live Siberian Tigers used to repopulate the slaughtered species.

Cons: Club rental price was insane at $50. Could not go to range until 30 minutes prior to tee time thus I requested my clubs to go to putting green. Sand in traps was hard pan and gravelly.

Thanks for the survey. I'm here for 5 months a year.. I've played this course every year. It used to be a super course but it needs work. The greens need most work. The fairway grass is also very uneven. I like the track but in it's present condition, no one will play it for the asking price. The present discount prices make it a good value. At that point, I will be back again.

Tons of water hazards and sand traps! We had the entire course to ourselves and finished in 3.5 hrs. We also rented and we're happy with the titliest Ap2's w/ matching woods. Great value using golf now fire sale I saved 50-60%.

Water and sand come in to play on 14 holes. Some traps are compacted dirt not sand. Fairways are green and soft. Greens were slow and a little burned out. Overall this course is a must play. Par 3, 6th hole is a hole that plays longer than it looks. Add one club to avoid going in the island lakes. Make sure you stop and see the head groundkeeper on 17th tee box area. Talk and take pictures but don't stick any body parts you want to keep inside; He bites. Cab fare from the cruise terminal was $4.00 per person. Don't get ripped off. After your round cabs are parked inside the course parking lot making it no problem to catch a cab.

A fantastic course to play ,a really great layout the sand in the bunkers is the only thing on the downside.and their are plenty bunkers ,the clubhouse is top class and so are all the staff .

We had a fabulous day! We never saw anyone else on the course. Lots of water, but very fair course. The greens could be smoother, but hey, this is Mexico and the greens are Bermuda. Will definitely play again!

I played this course by myself in about 2 hours during the peak heat of the day. I enjoyed playing it but would never pay full price. Anything over $80 is extremely overpriced unless you are playing an immaculate course.

Played alone at 12:30. Did not see anyone else on the course. I assumed by the name that the designer was Tiger - not. Golf courses in Mexico usually punch and top dress the greens this time of year so greens are not very good, also coming out of the rainy season sometimes have rain damage, not much this course. The one bunker I was in was rock hard. Quite a bit of water but mostly on the side except for one par 3 which is all carry with green fronted by vertical rock face.
I had difficulty finding this course as there are no signs and my GPS didn't have it. Google maps has it. From the main road travelling north from the airport, take the exit to Neuvo Vallarta Riviera Nayarit and look for the large stone security gate off the first traffic circle.

I have played El Tigre for many years, but always in March, when the course is in excellent condition. It is definitely off season now, high heat and higher humidity, and greens and fairways pretty rough. In addition, greens had been plugged and sanded in the last week. Had we paid full fees it would have been a very poor value. Fortunately, we had "Hot Deal" prices!

When in normal conditions, ET is a great track. The course Marshall was a bonus, regularly stopping by with ice water and cold wet towels. The beverage cart lady was very hospitable, and since we were only one of two groups on the course, we saw her frequently. Looking forward to playing again in March.

The course is not playable is under maintenance
The greens aré covered with sand
Only opened back nine
Tha staff said you sholdent sell el Tigre
Until they finish with the repairs And maintenance

Overall a very nice course... If any greens are not in THE Best shape... But way better than other courses around.
