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.

Better places to spend your time and money

I have played here several times, and I am shocked at how much the price has increased, and how little the course and staff are kept to the level you would expect for the rack rate price of $400/round. From the moment you check in to the bitter end, you feel like an outcast and somewhat invisible to the staff. The starters are clueless, and don't care if you are on time, intime or out of time. You go when the finally get to telling you to go, for us it was 15 minutes past our tee time, and it was already late in the day to start at 1:20 PM. There were several twosomes (as were we), that went out that we could have been pared with, and even after asking, they did nothing. Instead we got to follow a group of 8 (two foresomes), who did not play that slow, but did run into some problems along the way. All told it took 4.5 hours which isn't bad, but put us up against the sunset. When finished they cleaned our clubs, and told us they would be brought out front and that they would call us a cab. That did not happen, after waiting 25 minutes, I went back and they were busy doing a whole lot of something, but not moving our clubs to the front and no cab had been called. I took care of all of that, and really thought about asking for my tip back. The course is in moderate shape at best. The service on the course was the best you will get at El Tigre. Tip them well, they earned it. Bottom line unless you can get a last minute deal that drops the price to under $150, I would play anywhere else but here.

Thanks for ready.

Overpriced and terrible service

Employees were literally tripping over each other to assist members but made me load my own clubs, move the cart in front of mine so I could get out and ignored me at the end of the round while they gave the other twosome in my group cool towels, water and cleaned their clubs. I sat in my cart for over 5 minutes hoping to get the same service but was not acknowledged or helped at all.

Lots of good courses here that are priced the same that treat all guests well. Avoid this one.

Greens were slow, bumpy and the fairways were a land mine field of unimproved divots and chunky sand. Yuck.

Challenging course, not sure worth value.

Course is on a beautiful plot of land, very challenging, with bunkers maintained extremely well. Fairways were not in great shape definitely in need of some irrigation.

Interesting layout but poor greens

Interesting and challenging layout with lots of water and or sand traps on most holes. Visually stunning on most holes.

The "greens" were brown, hard and intermittently sanded with inconsistent speeds and firmness. Charged pristine price for less than ideal conditions.

Less than ideal greens

Very nice and attentive staff. Clean well maintained golf carts. The greens were very dry and sanded recently. This was very disappointing for the price charged for green fees and that was a reduced rate from GolfNow. Prime time golf should be $150 and afternoon golf should be under $100

Fun day

Great course, have been waiting for a decent price on golf now to play this gem. Clubhouse is great and has the best selection of merchandise of all the PV courses but alas everything is wildly overpriced. Had a pre round long island iced tea and it was excellent and good value. On course i found the beverage cart to be too expensive so I only had one drink from them. Was paired up with terrible golfers but i shot the lights out so wasn’t bothered. ps driving range was excellent and the greens were BY FAR the fastest in all of PV, but haven’t played punta mita yet because the head pro is ducking my email.

El Tiigre

Lovely resort style course with some really beautiful holes. There are a couple of island greens which look really great from the tee block.

Fairways are generous and the greens are not overly contoured. The fairways are in very good condition and rewarding. If you miss the fairway, the ball tends to sit down a little making it much harder to control your distances

Green are in good condition, however, were running fairly slowly

Overall, a very enjoyable course with friendly staff
