GOLF COURSES IN PUNTA MITA

Punta Mita is a dream destination for world-class travelers, particularly those who love to golf. This 1,500-acre private peninsula is accessible only to those staying in a Punta Mita resort or private villa, which means guests have exclusive access to fabulous fairways and the Punta Mita Golf Club. We’re confident you’ll agree that Bahia and Pacifico are two of the best 18-hole golf courses in all of Mexico.

JACK NICKLAUS PRIVATE COURSES

This exclusive tropical community is the ideal setting for two of the best golf courses. Both the Punta Mita Pacifico golf course and the Punta Mita Bahia golf course were carefully designed by pro golfer Jack Nicklaus, who had the goal of creating a golfer’s paradise.

However, if you get the chance to play a round of golf at both these courses (and we hope you do!), you’ll discover that they are vastly different from each other. From the terrain to the types of sand used to create the traps, you’ll find plenty of variation and contrast between the two locations.

Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Banderas Bay from a unique viewpoint and play the game like never before. These courses offer tee boxes for players of all skill levels, so set up a tee time with your friends, significant other, or your kids. Along with clubs and good company, you’ll definitely want to remember to bring your camera!

Oceanfront Bahia Golf Course

Waves of hills among the fairways and greens mimic the relaxing movement of the nearby ocean, creating the ideal atmosphere for a day of golf. Enjoy six different oceanside holes and championship-level fun mingled with novice playability. You’ll also find plenty of challenging putting options, making the Bahia Golf Course great for playing multiple rounds.

PACIFICO GOLF COURSE

In contrast with Bahia’s changing terrain, the Punta Mita Pacifico Golf Course has a smoother, flowing layout. This course also includes the ultimate bucket list item for golf-lovers: the Tail of the Whale Island Green. This unique spot begins with a tee-off facing the ocean and ends on the only natural island green in the world. After driving from the fairway, you’ll hop in an amphibious cart that takes you through the water to where you’ll finish this world-renowned par-3 hole.

Stay for a bite at the clubhouse

Don’t miss the Tail of the Whale Restaurant on the upper floor of the golf clubhouse, overlooking both courses and the Pacific Ocean. You can enjoy delicious international cuisine until 7:00 PM, including breakfast for early risers eager to get out on the green.
