Great course and amenities

Great course with challenging holes. Surrounded by a lot of water and sand. Great scenery. Came with complimentary range balls, tees and water which is nice. I would recommend buying your balls at a store before you come here. They also sell used balls for a cheaper price. We rented our clubs as well for 50 each but we are members of paradise village.

Way to expensive

I don't know what is going on in PV, but golf prices have sky rocketed! Last year, I played this course 4 or 5 times for around $65-$75, this year, they want $297! This course is simply not worth over $125, at all... It's an okay course but totally flat and is basic. Fairways are as hard as rocks, so balls roll but the course is brown...

Greens were some of the worst I’ve played in quite some time

Over the course the staff and the fun we had as a group can’t be replaced and it has moments of being great. The greens were chewed up. Some had pebbles on them some had bumps through. My brother in law is a scratch golfer and said for the cost and the green shapes were just not up to par. Also a couple bunkers were full of little pebbles.

Nice course but overpriced for its condition

The course has a good layout. It's generally flat (very walkable) but the holes have a lot of contours and there's some modest elevation change. There are a lot of bunkers. When the wind is up (as it was for my round), it's definitely a challenging course. The course conditions do not justify the price. (I didn't stay at Paradise Village so I paid the guest rate of US$300. My playing partner - whose family owns a timeshare in PV - told me that PV residents/owners pay $100.) The fairways had a lot of bare/dry patches and the fringe around the greens was very poor and uneven. The greens were firm (I'm good with that) but the condition was again uneven and made judging speed/line difficult over the course of the round. I will not go back at that price and recommend Vista Vallarta and Vidanta (the Norman Course in particular) if you're going to play at that price point. Lastly, if you aren't staying at PV, then I recommend getting an Uber when it's time to leave. Getting a cab took 40 minutes (with Pro Shop assistance, which was greatly appreciated - the staff were great).

El Tigre

Nice course for sure After I checked in the starters were super dis-organized and were letting anyone just tee off whenever - not their fault just under staffed for sure … place of play was kinda slow but typical of course full of retired old guys Some of greens were pretty beaten up which I was surprised to see (not the case at Vidanta next door) Overall challenging course but over priced compared to Vidanta or Vista Vallarta courses Too much sand for my liking but they were super soft - fine sand so very impressed compared to other local courses Clubhouse / Bar shut down before my round even finished - this is typical of PV courses Owners to cheap to pay their staff a few extra hours

Worth the time

The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Greens were very challenging but fair. No rough really to talk about and the bunkers were a little inconsistent. The 6th par island green was fun and a real challenge. Don't know if I would pay the $260.for the round but at $99 well worth it. I would play it again.

Summary assessment

Pace of play was slow. Course was needing a breather from too much play with beginners who don’t fix ball marks or rake traps. Very challenging layout and will play it again.

Good course but pricey.

Not that I had a great score but I thought the course would be a bit more challenging. Lots of bunkers and water, however, it you can hit the ball straight, not that difficult.

Over booked

The booking system has significant issues. When you have 12-16 players booked for the same tee time in the afternoon and it shows on the tee sheet you know that they have no controls on start times. They have 5 minute spacing and the cart says you are behind yet you’re waiting every shot. Come on El Tigre. Get your business in order and provide a golf experience your customers expect.

El Tigre Tee Time CHEATING

We confirmed our 3:30pm tee time reservations thru Golfnow. It appears that El Tigre does not protect Golfnow Tee Times and booked us in between their already booked 3:30pm and 3:40pm tee times slotting us in at 3:35pm. That is only a 5 MINUTE gap which is much to tight and as a result combined with the late start 3:50pm due to so many compressed tee times we did NOT have enough time (daylight) to finish our round which we paid FULL price for. They should have told us or discounted our green fees.....Bad Customer Service...

Not worth it

The amount of money you pay for this course, is not worth it. The course was brown, the food was terrible, we got someone’s left over waters in a cooler not cold with no ice. They didn’t clean our clubs. It may be a one off, but it was absolutely brutal for the price we paid. In 18 holes we saw the beverage cart twice. Spend your money at another course, this course was the worst we’ve played in this area.
