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.

Challenges

Enjoyed the round immensely. .nothing much to complain about...two of us finished in 3.5 hours. Only thing is that the sand, especially the fairway bunkers, have a lot of smaller stones...not quite the fluffy stuff. Staff was very attentive too....

No Views, Interesting Course

I booked on-line through a third party vendor and got an excellent green fee, so the round was a very good value. Good idea to hit complimentary range balls prior to playing. Our golf cart had nice face clothes and iced bottled water in a cooler, which was complimentary.
A few difficult holes, Par 3 with water carries and water runs along several fairways. Hole #6 is a challenge! The entire staff from the club house to the starter were friendly and helpful. We didn't eat at the clubhouse but did make a couple purchases at the pro-shop which was well stocked. The food and beverage cart came by several times during our round.
Be sure to bring your sunscreen & mosquito repellent.

Nice par3#6

Overall good course with a very nice par3 #6 signature hole. Staff friendly and nice facility. Drinks were average $4 beer. I thought the greens needed a bit of work, but fairly challenging. Lots of bunkers and water. I would play again.

Better than Grand Mayan

Staying at Grand Mayan and couldn't get a time on their course. Went on GNOW and found time a couple days out. Harder and much more interesting course than Grand Mayan. Greens may be slightly better at GM. Took us < 4 hrs to play versus waiting on every shot at GM > 5hrs. Check out Bengal tiger enclosure by the 17th tee (if you are waiting)

Good course

I was expecting more from this course. I play Vista Vallarta the two of them and at Flamingo. I read a alot of positive comments about El Tigre but it is not the best course of the tree.

Very high prices and very poor greens

I can't believe the full rack rate is $199 for this course. I paid the GolfNow discounted hot rate of $99 and that was too much. On 10-12 holes, one third or more of the greens were covered in sand. Most of the greens had some damage. They used a very coarse sand that made putting even worse than putting on aerated greens. The fairways looked good but every good tee shot in the fairway would be a mud ball with no roll. For the price charged, there is no GPS and very few yardage markers. I guess they expect everyone to hire their caddies. My local muny course is in better condition and charges less than 1/4 of their rack rate.

Very nice course, great service

Well maintained course, that is fair yet challenging. Played the whites at 6250, and had plenty of work. Lots of water and bunkers, but very enjoyable. Staff was very friendly, and keep us in water and ice multiple times during our round. Great practice area, and carts were well maintained.

Good fun

Not a difficult course with some good wide landing areas off the tee. There are some difficult holes, water carries on par 3s for example. We came in the dry season so the course was not as lush as it might have been but it was still in very good condition. We enjoyed our round.

Challenging and well maintained

Course was fun to play tough par 3s but a fair layout finishing hole is a long par 5 all the whole you want. Played the course twice greens were a little slow because they were aerated probably 3 weeks prior. Would definitely play again
