About this course

Bahia at Punta Mita is where Jack Nicklaus sculpted a golfer’s paradise from the volcanic landscape of Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit. The course embraces its Pacific coastal setting; fairways meander across gently rolling terrain punctuated by strategically placed bunkers and water features. Generous landing areas favor the bold, while undulating greens demand a deft touch. A round here is as much about navigating the prevailing ocean breezes as it is about club selection, rewarding creativity over brute force. Nicklaus returned to refine Bahia in subsequent years, subtly enhancing its playability and visual appeal. While not a major championship venue, the club maintains a reputation as a sought-after destination for discerning golfers who appreciate a challenging yet ultimately fair test of their skills. The charm of Bahia extends beyond the course itself. The intimate membership is known for its relaxed atmosphere and vibrant social scene. Stories circulate of impromptu tequila tastings after sunset rounds and friendly competitions that stretch long into the evening.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Punta Mita Club de Golf flow through Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR), a sun-drenched gateway just forty minutes north along the Riviera Nayarit coastline. Private aviation finds its home at the same facility, where discreet FBO services expedite passage for those bypassing commercial terminals. The drive traces the edge of Banderas Bay, trading the bustle of Vallarta for increasingly serene stretches of palm and Pacific blue, before a final turn onto gated roads that wind through tropical forest and reveal the club's dramatic peninsula setting—where two Jack Nicklaus Signature courses meet the sea.
