Top Rated Puerto Vallarta Experience
On top of 2 legendary Jack Nicklaus golf courses at the Four Seasons Punta Mita Resort, Nicklaus also created the only natural offshore island hole on earth, producing one of the most breathtaking and unique golf holes on earth. The hole is 3B at the Punta Mita Resort, and also known as The Tail of the Whale, where depending on low or high tide will vary how you access the dramatic green.
