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.

Golfer Reviews
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.
An enjoyable course
It was an excellent experience, an easy to play and enjoy course whith some challenges and difficulties but a good balance.,, and when you are on vacation, you appreciate that!!!!
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
Nice course
Course was in great shape with fast pace of play. Never a bad lie in the fairways. Greens were smooth and rollled nicely but a little slow. Lots of water holes with a good variety of shots required to score well. Definitely going back.
Outstanding Experience
Do not pay attention to negative reviews indicating this course has deteriorated over the years. If that is the case, can only imagine how incredible it must have been back then. Design of course is wonderful and holes are competitive but fair. Wildlife just adds to the beauty
