About Tail of the Whale

The legendary Tail of the Whale at Punta Mita’s Pacifico Golf Course is more than just a golf hole—it’s a world-renowned marvel designed by the great Jack Nicklaus, and home to the only natural island green on the planet. Officially named Hole 3B, this unforgettable par-3 extends dramatically into the Pacific Ocean, its shape resembling the tail of a whale. Depending on the tide and pin placement, players face a thrilling tee shot over open water, making every swing a memorable challenge.
