Tail of the Whale
Tail of the Whale is a world-renowned golf hole located at the Pacifico Golf Course in Punta Mita, Mexico, designed by legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus. What makes this hole truly special is that it features the only natural island green in the world—and it’s absolutely breathtaking.
This hole, officially known as Hole 3B, is often referred to as the “Tail of the Whale” because the island green juts out from the coast like a whale’s tail. The tee shot spans over the Pacific Ocean, with the distance depending on tides and pin placement. During low tide, a submerged stone pathway allows golf carts and players to drive across to the green. When the tide is high, access is by amphibious golf cart, adding an extra layer of excitement and uniqueness to the experience.
Surrounded by crashing waves and panoramic ocean views, it’s a one-of-a-kind hole that’s both challenging and mesmerizing. Not only is it a favorite for seasoned golfers, but even non-golfers often visit just to witness its beauty and snap a few photos. In short, Tail of the Whale isn’t just a golf hole—it’s a bucket list experience. Whether you’re a passionate golfer or simply someone who appreciates jaw-dropping scenery, it’s something you’ll never forget.
