Hate crowds and crowded courses? The most serene golf experience on your Mexico golf vacation may be found at the Four Seasons Punta Mita.
Conditions may change, but at many times of the year, the Four Seasons Punta Mita Golf Club receives very little play. On a weekday in January, you might have the entire golf course to yourself. Sixty rounds constitute a busy day here.
Bathed in brilliant, balmy sunshine, refreshed by sea breezes and the Pacific mist, surrounded by dreamlike landscaping, and playing on a spotless, carpet-like golf course with eight holes hugging the shoreline, you might think you’re in heaven on your Mexico golf vacation.
One of the world’s ultimate private retreats, the Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita is situated on a peninsula at the northern horn of the Bay of Banderas, about an hour from the Puerto Vallarta airport. Exclusivity, isolation and a steep price tag have their privileges at this resort. If your name is not listed on the guard’s clipboard at the gate, you can forget about entering this compound on your Mexico golf vacation.
Another security post atop the hill overlooking the resort serves as a reminder that neither beachcombing vendors nor prying paparazzi are allowed to intrude on guests, who come to this secluded beach hideaway to get away from it all on a Mexico golf vacation.
The Four Seasons Punta Mita Golf Course, a Jack Nicklaus design with the world’s only natural, ocean green, is one you will want to play again and again on you Mexico golf vacation. If that is your desire, you are in luck, because the course is almost always empty.
