 GREAT GOLF IN THE BAY AREA IS EASY TO FIND WITH SEVEN SPECTACULAR COURSES!
 

All within 30 kilometers, and two phenomenal courses on the south coast, making locating a course to suit your tastes a short drive away.

Below is a short description of the 3 courses nearest Bucerias. Click here you will find an update below with phone numbers.

1. Flamingos Golf Course & Country Club:

 10 minutes after driving south of Bucerias you will be on the green. The new ownership of Flamingos is dedicated to improving the quality of the course and the area.  They have recently completed a new club house and pro shop.  Plans include improving and expanding the irrigation system.

The feeling of openness is just one of the many feelings you will experience when playing a round of golf here. Flamingos has fairways that surround most of the greens, so chipping will play a big role on these undulating greens. This alone will add to the excitement and challenge of this well-groomed masterpiece. The reason for this is that we utilized closely mowed areas around the greens to bring into play the challenge of chipping that has been traditional at the better, older courses. The greens are very receptive to this. Additionally, we tried to make shots not only visually exciting, but challenging for all levels of players with all aspects of the game requiring attention. The fairway landing areas are quite generous, 40 yards wide on average. Some holes can be very challenging, and golfers generally will use every club in their bag. This course, with 3 sets of tees to accommodate players of all levels, offers championship playing conditions sunrise to sunset, all year long.



2. Paradise Village Golf Course, " El Tigre"

Designed by: Von Hagge
The EL TIGRE golf course itself has been lightheartedly described as “… one of the most challenging in Mexico”, yet the course overall is considered forgiving even by less experienced golfers. Come play a course unlike any you have played before. Make EL TIGRE yet another reason to stay a week, a month or a lifetime at Paradise Village!

Proper golf attire is required.
 

3. Four Seasons at Punta Mita

About a 1/2 hour's drive north of Bucerias, on Mexico's Pacific Coast, you will find Punta Mita, and the Four Seasons Resort. From the entrance of the resort property to the club house is about another 10 minute drive.

When Jack Nicklaus designed the course for the Four Season Resort at Punta Mita, he did something unique. He used a small island, about 175 yards offshore, for one of the greens. It is surrounded by what has to be the bigger water hazard in the world, the Pacific Ocean, and is the only natural island green in the world. Hole number 3 is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful holes in the world. If the tide is too high, or the water too rough for the small boat to take you to the island, there is an alternate green. Either way, playing the Four Seasons Golf Course will be an experience that will live on in memory.

Since this is a semi- private course, intended for the hotel guests of the Four Seasons Resort and golf club members , it is not played as heavily as most public courses. Club Rental $35.00
Shoe Rental $15.00 (Four Seasons is a soft spike facility)
Caddies not available in this course.
