At the heart of Punta Mita you will find the Jack Nicklaus signature golf
course, located at the Four Seasons Golf Club. The breathtaking 19-hole
championship course highlights eight holes facing or along the ocean.
The picturesque course is the only course in the world featuring a hole
located on a freestanding, natural island. Spread over 200 acres, the golf
course is enhanced by the Punta Mita penninsula's tropical landscape
adding to the pleasure of playing this private course.
Four Seasons Punta Mita Golf Club
Golf in Puerto Vallarta is becoming a way of life on the Mexican Riviera.
Picture teeing off in the tropical breezes of Banderas Bay or the Pacific
Ocean, courses lined with palm trees and vibrant tropical flowers,
personal bilingual caddies and beautiful clubhouses with open-air dining
and views of the greens. Think of pro shops equipped with everything
you need or want and state-of-the-art courses that offer an optional
19th hole on an island. Condo-side courses, beachside courses, resort
courses, private courses, public courses are what make golf in Puerto
Vallarta.

El Tigre Golf Club
Located in Nuevo Vallarta, this is a lengthy course protected by traps and
water throughout. The mammoth finishing hole is the par 5, 621-yard "Tiger." Most golfers find it untamable because water runs all the way
down the left side and the multi-tiered green is surrounded by sand.

Vista Vallarta
This is actually two spectacular golf courses at one location, just 10
minutes east of the airport. The Nicklaus course has garnered worldwide
recognition since hosting the 2002 EMC World Cup Championship, and
the Weiskopf course is equally outstanding. Both have generous landing
areas on the fairways, but the undulating greens can be tortuous.
