El Tigre

Really enjoyed playing at the course. The staff were excellent and we were joined by a member on the first tee. He was a local and was extremely friendly. The course is a good test with stunning par 3’s. We played off the whites at 6500 and it provided plenty of tests for us. The greens were very fast and kept us guessing all the way around.

The pace of play was the only issue. The 4ball in front of us were members and made no effort to let us through even though we were up with them for 16 holes. We had even given them a two hole start. Disappointing attitude from them.

We’re playing it again before we go home, we hope it’s different this time.

Unwelcoming

Staff unfriendly and service poor…got a good rate via golf now but got treated like second class citizens the moment we arrived. Took 5.5 hrs to lay starting at 1:20. Pro shop closed after round and no one to help with transport back to our resort

Overall a good course. Bunkers good and well maintained. Greens were bare in spots but overall OK. I play it about once a month and think it is a good value if booked on GolfNow.com at the discount rate.

Nothing special

I really don't understand why this course makes it onto lists of best courses to play in Puerto Vallarta. It really isn't anything special. Even if it was in good shape, Which it wasn't - the greens are burnt out and in bad shape, it still wouldn't be worth the money.

Course okay. Greens need work.

Layout okay. Several holes about same shape. Good use of water throughout. Tees level. Greens worse part. Lots of spots with grass loss and lots of edges bare. Trying to find another course in better shape.

A divine track in bad condition

If you like visual stimulation and a great degree of varied holes this is a place you'll love! Unfortunately, the greens are in bad shape (lots of burned out edges and and hills). Lots of dead spots in the fairways and generally lackluster rough. I have played here for over 8 years on an annual basis and this is the WORST condition I've ever seen this gem in.

Although it is a super track, I would put my money elsewhere until they repair the unfortunate condition.

Solid layout with terrible maintenance.

I have played this track almost a dozen times and this was absolutely the most horrific condition I've ever seen. Burnt out greens (almost 20% of most), torn up tee boxes and a lot of dead spots on the low areas equaled a less than satisfying experience.

I gave this track a 4+ last year but they have obviously decided being in Mexico is enough to overcharge and underproduce. Sad to say the least.

Go to any other $100+ course in the area or just simply play a video game............. but if you pay the green fee here you are going to be disappointed (or in my case just plain angry).
