Riviera Nayarit 2013 Christmas Golf Tournament

December 6, 2013

Organizers for the Riviera Nayarit Christmas Golf Tournament guarantee prizes for everyone who registers. This will be the second year for the event and it promises to close out 2013 on a positive note.

Riviera Nayarit, Mexico - The Riviera Nayarit Christmas Golf Tournament is set to start at 8:30 am on Saturday, December 7, 2013, at the Litibú Golf Course, and will be a celebration that will close the year on a positive note.

In this, its second year, Back9 Golf Promotions has been charged with preparing everything and ensuring all participants will be eligible for prizes. By simply registering for the event you will be in line to take part in the raffles and the "White Elephant" gift exchange.

"The objective of these events is to promote the destination and the many services, products, and attractions we offer; in our case, we’re promoting the Riviera Nayarit’s golf courses, which are world class," said Leonardo Bonilla, director of Back9 Golf Promotions.


The gorgeous Litibú Golf Course is located in one of the most exclusive areas of the Riviera Nayarit. Designed by Greg Norman, the course has seven link holes, eight more tucked away within the pristine jungle and two signature holes on the Pacific beach. It’s a par 72, 6,707-yard course with SeaDwarf Seashore Paspalum turfgrass and 130 sand traps. Players will note the balance created between nature and man-made design is striking.

This is a couples’ tournament with low net scores and handicap at 100 percent; however, the two highest scores in two categories — "A" with handicap at 0 to 12 and "B" with handicap 13+ — will also receive prizes.

The first three places will receive a prize not only for the couples’ tournament but also for the best in category cards as well as for the closest-to-hole on Par 3, which include holes 4, 8, 11 and 17.

The raffles boast over 25 different prizes plus Christmas baskets and there will be an exclusive ladies’ prize for hole 4.

The Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau will be lending its support in the form of prizes and promotion for the event; they will also be handling the logistics and commercial connections necessary for the tournament to take place.

"Tops among the many benefits that this tournament will bring, is the promotion of the hotel services, transportation, airlines, and restaurants — we’re talking a lot of products here," Back9's Bonilla stated.

One of the most memorable characteristics of the destination is its tradition of service. This is why the tournament and the destination’s attractions are expected to generate income for many local business people as well as the town in general.

"We need to address the fact that this tournament will generate income, which in one way or another, directly or indirectly, will benefit the local citizens with more and better quality jobs as well as a higher income — an important plus for the entire region," says Bonilla.
