Encircled by 9.5 miles of the Pacific Ocean and approximately 10 miles north of Puerto Vallarta is Punta Mita, Mexico—a 1,500-acre private peninsula home to two Jack Nicklaus signature golf courses. This resort and residential community provide diverse accommodations as well as real estate options for those seeking seclusive home ownership. Surrounded by idyllic white sandy beaches and offering an endless array of possibilities for adventure, Punta Mita is a destination that begs to be explored. Whether you spend a week vacationing or stay for a lifetime, you will most definitely enjoy all that the community has to offer.

Golf
Since we know you like to golf, let’s first tackle that topic. Jack Nicklaus showcases his exquisite craftsmanship not once, but twice, in his two signature oceanside golf courses at Punta Mita. Both courses feature holes directly facing or playing alongside the ocean, making for breathtaking views that are certain to captivate any player. To ensure convenient access to playing, both courses offer tee times that are exclusively reserved for members or guests of Punta Mita’s resorts.

Pacifico Golf Course
The inaugural Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course — Pacifico — opened in December 1999. Boasting expansive fairways and lush greens, this championship course plays at over 7,000 yards and earned the moniker “Tail of the Whale” due to its distinction as the world’s only natural island golf green. Pacifico has seven holes that either overlook the ocean or run alongside it, ensuring golfers are treated to awe-inspiring views throughout their game.

Bahia Golf Course
Bahia, which opened in late 2009, is just as beautiful as its sister course. The course features five ocean holes and boasts rolling fairways and green complexes, something Nicklaus fondly refers to as “adding a little spice.” The perfect complement to Pacifico, Bahia is set on more undulating terrain, attracting even the most skilled golfers who seek a challenge.

For our stay, we enjoyed a condo in the Hacienda de Mita neighborhood. The accommodations were amazing, with inside/outside living through a large patio overlooking the pool as well as a full kitchen. We placed a grocery order prior to our trip, and the kitchen was fully stocked with our choices upon arrival. Each pool is shared by only a few condominiums, offering privacy and easy use. We, like many, rented a souped-up golf cart from a local company and used it many times each day. You can literally get everywhere you need to go during your entire stay with the golf cart, and it just adds to the fun! Many residents even decorate their golf cart, and our portable speaker was a hit.
