Why Punta Mita Is a Top-Tier Golf Destination
If you’re looking for a place where you can play world-class golf in total comfort, Punta Mita should be on your list.
Set on a private peninsula just north of Puerto Vallarta, this gated community offers two Jack Nicklaus Signature courses, incredible ocean views, and a calm, uncrowded pace of play.
What makes it special?
Start with the scenery. Several holes run right along the water. Palm trees, coastal breezes, and wide open fairways—it’s the kind of setting that makes even a rough round feel worth it.
But it’s not just about the views. The courses are kept in excellent shape. The service is outstanding. And whether you’re playing solo, with friends, or mixing in some family time, everything about the experience is easy.
Want a full-on golf trip? Great. Just want to play a couple of rounds while you relax poolside? That works too.
Punta Mita lets you do golf on your own terms—with all the luxury extras in place when you want them.

Spotlight on Jack Nicklaus Signature Courses
Punta Mita gives you two Jack Nicklaus Signature courses to choose from—and both are worth your time.
They each offer a different kind of round, depending on your mood and how sharp your game feels.
Pacifico Course
This is the one you’ve probably heard about. Pacifico is famous for the “Tail of the Whale”—a par-3 with a natural island green. It’s only playable at low tide, and yes, it’s as fun (and challenging) as it sounds.
Beyond the headline hole, the rest of the course holds up. Eight holes run right along the ocean. Fairways are wide. Greens are fair.
If you want a round that’s scenic and a little more forgiving, Pacifico is a great place to start—especially for mixed-skill groups or a first-time warm-up.
Bahia Course
Bahia brings a bit more bite. Narrower fairways, tighter angles, more elevation changes—it’s the kind of course that rewards solid strategy and penalizes sloppy shot placement.
You’ll still get your ocean views (five of the holes are on the water), but this layout plays faster and demands a little more from your short game.
If you’re looking to sharpen your skills or want a more technical round, Bahia’s your spot.
