How good is the new Bahia Golf Course that opened 90 days ago in Punta Mita, Mexico?

Well, last week, the editors of Golf Odyssey dropped in to play it and they walked away quite impressed with the much-anticipated Jack Nicklaus Signature Design, a sister course to the original, Pacifico course.

Past visitors to Punta Mita, the ultra-luxurious paradise located about an hour north of the Puerto Vallarta airport, probably have fond memories of playing the Pacifico golf course on their Mexico golf vacations.

Pacifico is resort golf course at its finest, with fairways like football fields and enough eye candy to satisfy any golfer’s sweet tooth (including hole 3B, or the “Tail of the Whale,” a par-three whose green is completely separated from land at high tide).
