Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico - El Tigre Golf & Country Club has been offering world-class golf to Riviera Nayarit residents and visitors for the last ten years. To celebrate their 10th anniversary, a very special golf tournament will be held on the 72-par championship course at Paradise Village in Nuevo Vallarta on Friday, May 11th.

According to Jesus Carmona, the golf course's director and of the Bahía de Banderas Hotel Association's vice president, offering high quality golf services to all visitors - not only at El Tigre, but at all six of the destination's PGA category golf courses - has been a key factor in positioning the Riviera Nayarit Brand.

"Recently the Hotel Association announced that 9% of all Riviera Nayarit visitors play golf in destination. Great golf courses available, offering top notch services, have a positive influence on travelers' decisions to visit Riviera Nayarit. This region is blessed by its natural environment, it’s completely safe, and its people are warm and friendly to tourists. If we add the possibility of playing on a gorgeous golf course the way professionals do, then we consolidate a very attractive destination," said Carmona.

El Tigre is one of six golf clubs that have contributed to Riviera Nayarit’s growth as a high-end travel destination. The course was designed by Von Hagge, Smelek & Barig Design and developed by Paradise Village Group. It has been ranked among the Top Ten Golf Courses in Mexico and listed by Rolex as one of The 1000 Best Courses in the World.
