The Tiger Comes of Age

El Tigre Golf & Country Club celebrates ninth anniversary with tournament

Nine years roaring and it keeps surprising us. El Tigre Golf & Country Club at Paradise Village in Riviera Nayarit is getting ready to celebrate its ninth anniversary with a tournament that has become traditional in the region.
On May 13, amateur golfers from Mexico, the United States and Canada are trying to tame this course, which has proved to be challenging for professional golfers in tournaments as important as the Canadian Tour and the Futures Tour, both in the male and female categories.
In 2008, El Tigre was rated as one of the best 10 in the country, and is one of the six golf courses in Riviera Nayarit, a destination that has become one of the best worldwide for this sport and which currently has 3 more courses under development.
This course, property of Grupo Paradise Village has also hosted tournaments as important as the Copa de las Americas and the Gira Negra Modelo, besides the Canadian Tour and the LPGA Futures Tour.
Golf-based tourism is major draw for Riviera Nayarit, in fact one of the most important market segments due to the economic trickle-down effect that it generates for local businesses.
