Offshore Birdies Punta Mita

The Jack Nicklaus–designed Pacifico golf course at Punta Mita has something you won’t find at any of the thousands of other courses in the world—an offshore natural island green. Set on a rocky atoll in the Pacific Ocean, 199 yards from shore, the par-3 is known as the Tail of the Whale. Due to the difficulty, Nicklaus built 19 holes to offer an alternative.
