Good value

Played. a 12:30 tee time with a 60% discount on-line. When I first arrived they could not find my tee time. But the staff was friendly and worked hard to figure out the problem. The general manager came out and apologized to me and got me right on. I rented clubs and they were in good shape. Course was in good shape even though it was hot that day. Greens as a whole were in good shape and held and rolled good. When I was finished the staff cleaned my shoes and were very friendly. Overall a great experience.

Good mix of shots required

I've chosen this course a few times when staying in PV. By far the best championship course for the money. The holes have interest and offer some great risk reward if you can carry the water or corner. I value a course where you can save strokes if you can work the ball. You also use every club in the bag. It also includes an island green par 3 that we always enjoy.

The course has never been the most manicured but the paspalum greens roll plenty smooth and the ball sits well in the fairway. There are plenty of bunkers and waste areas and the sand is average but playable. We played it twice this trip and will return in the future.

Repetitive holes

We seem to play the same holes over and over again, but overall its still a fun course. Not over challenging but interesting enough.

A must play golf course in Puerto Vallarta with allot of water and sand traps that make it more challenging and fun to play.

Enjoyable

Enjoy the wide open fairways. Many Iquanas sitting on the rocks in the middle of the lakes and shorelines. Greens were in rough shape. Glad for cheaper price with golf now.

Good Challenge

Good challenge but the greens were the worst I have played, in 30 years of golf.
Would never play at full rate, but would play again.
Thanks golfnow for a decent rate !!

This could be a very good course

I played this course last year and found it to be a very good course but what a difference a year makes. The overall part of the course was still in good shape but the greens were in sad shape. I found them to be very hard, looked like a old carpet with sand scattered throughout. We also played Flamingo and found it to be in excellent shape and the fees were better. Hopefully El Tigre will improve because I'm also a member there.

Much improvement, excellent value with hot tee times

Played this course from blue tees last year..too difficult. White tees are challenging but playable due to wide receptive fairways. The course is peppered with difficult approaches, inc. multiple carries over water to well bunkered and protected greens, esp. the par 3's. GPS on carts and staked fairways were a big improvement from before, when it was nearly impossible to find a yardage marker. Beverage cart came by every 3 or 4 holes and cold cervezas cost less than in the states! Round took slightly less than 4 hours. Only complaint was a lot of sand on greens due to quite extensive grass kill or dormancy. Bonus sights are large iguanas throughout the course! I would definitely golf El Tigre upon my return to Nuevo Vallarta:) Joseph Fritz

Must Play!

El Tigre is a must play for anyone traveling to Puerta Vallarta. This was the first time I have vacationed down here and I will definitely be back. The course was in magnificent shape and the staff was overly accomodating.

Good resort course and fun to play

Enjoyable course with a nice layout with plenty of water holes. Course in generally good shape, but with some of the greens being stressed and bumpy. Course gets plenty of play so plan on a long round. Staff and facilities get a 4 on a scale of 5. Would play it again. Weather was great in January.

Poor conditions, nice staff, wouldn't pay half what we did to come back

First have to say the staff are very nice but I think they may have been making fun of me in Spanish to co-workers but whatever.

The course is what I am here to warn you about.

Horrible greens! Half of them were sand or burnt (I understand due to the weather here in PV). The fairways were decent but many spots with no grass as well.

Flat course and lots of water and tons of large sand bunkers (as big as the fairways!).

Overall I wouldn't suggest this course to a friend but if the conditions improved I would.

I paid $425 for my girlfriend and I to pay with rental clubs (titleist). I wouldn't pay half to play this course again.

El Tigre

the course was in poor shape in my opinion. The greens were fair at best, some had areas with almost no grass. Fairways were on the dry side but OK. We played Litibu the day before and there was no comparison.. back to Litibu we go..

Go elsewhere..

This course was one we were looking forward to in Nuevo Vallarta. After playing our group all said they wouldn't play it again. We paid $128 a person to play and the course wasn't worth half that. The greens were completely burned out or covered in dirt/seed and not worth playing. The sand traps, which cover a lot of the course were like hitting off concrete and did the same damage to clubs. The pace of play was very slow for a heat of the day round at noon. We had 2-3 groups backed up at every tee box. The staff wasn't attentive or friendly at all and the pro shops prices are ridiculous. Average shirt price was around 1300-1600 pesos, which currently is around $85-110 dollars. Not impressed and wouldn't recommend to a friend.

Good Value, Greens Need Work

Would have given course a 4 star rating except for the condition of the greens, too many brown patches on some of the holes. Rest of course was in good shape and green speed was good. Staff friendly, did not eat at the course

Good track, but ....

Course layout is above average, but course condition at present is poor. Good combination on right-to-left, left-to-right. Water in play on 13 holes as I recall, but very fair. Tee selection makes a difference. 6-8 greens burned out & others in poor condition. Staff in pro shop & in start/finish areas acted like they could care a less if people were there or not (some exceptions) - not an incentive to return. Merchandise reasonably to high priced.

Nice course. Had a slow pace to start but improved after 9.

Decent value at Golf Now price but too high at regular rate. Good service, well maintained, friendly staff. Would definitely play it again.
