Commentary |
| Hole 1 (Par 4) |
 |
|
Designers Robert von Hagge and Rick Baril are starting you off with a taste of
what's to come on this always-enjoyable, sometimes-testing golf course. After
admiring the stream running down the left side leading to the waterfall at this
peninsula green, aim away from beauty and hit your drive to the right side of
the fairway. |
 |
 |
| Hole 2 (Par 3) |
|
|
Select your club carefully on this fairly strong par three, and pay attention
to your aim, as the green falls off to the left side. Short shots will find
several sand bunkers lying in wait. |
 |
|
| Hole 3 (Par 4) |
|
|
Here's a longish par four with trouble waiting on the left in form of a mirror
lake, and ahead at the elevated green, perched above a deep grassy swale. Think
about staying right. |
 |
|
| Hole 4 (Par 5) |
|
Robert and Rick call the sandy waste on the right side of the fairway a "beach
bunker" because it flows down into the lake guarding the green on this strong
par five. Stay left all the way.  Hole 5 (Par 4) You'll find the classic risk-reward challenge on this dogleg par four hole.
From the tee, you'll see a split fairway offering two choices: take the safe
route to the right, and have a long iron to the green. Or try the macho route
to the left, over water and another "beach bunker!" and be rewarded with a nine
or wedge to the The El Tigre in Puerto Vallarta. From reserving tee times to on the course, GOLF IN MEXICO the
staff is very accommodating and pleasant. They come around with cold wet towels
and water. The fairways and greens are at their best condition and each hole is
very picturesque puerto vallarta golf. The most memorable one is hole No. 6 with the island green.
There are 5 sets of tees. You can play to your level of challenge. The best nuevo vallarta golf treat is coming back to the 18th hole and meeting the baby tiger that is kept
on the golf course. We can’t wait to go back and play there again GOLF IN PUERTO VALLARTA. |

   Hole 13 (Par 4)
Another challenge to those who think they can hit both long and straight. If
that's you, go ahead and play it straight over the long sandy waste on the
left, and you'll find a shorter pitch to the green. If you're a normal human
being, simply drive left and you'll have a medium iron to the green.  Hole 14 (Par 5)
If you want to go for it in two on this rolling par five, you'll find your
landing area somewhat restricted by the ubiquitous pot bunkers around the dog
leg. But of course the three-shot player will find a wide landing area before
the bunkers, and plenty of room for the second shot. Sand again at the right of
the green.  Hole 15 (Par 3) |
A deceptive little par three which, although of modest length, will ask you to
select your lofted iron carefully. The green is wide, yes, but oh so shallow! 
This is probably one of the most challenging holes in Mexico. Some will say an
M-16 is needed off the tee on this powerful finishing hole, but we believe that
three of your normal, accurate shots will reward you with a well-deserved par.  |
