Our favorite restaurants in Punta Mita

Punta Mita, a golfer's paradise on the Mexican Riviera, boasts some of the most stunning and challenging golf courses in the world. One hole that truly stands out is the iconic "Tale of the Whale" par 3 at Punta Mita Golf Club. Playing this remarkable oceanfront hole requires not only golfing skills but also a keen understanding of the tides, especially when it's possible to cross to the green with a golf cart. In this post, we'll share tips and tricks to help you conquer this unforgettable golfing experience.

**Understanding the "Tale of the Whale" Hole**

Before we dive into the tips and tricks, let's understand the unique characteristics of this hole:

_Location_
The "Tale of the Whale" is the third hole at Punta Mita Golf Club, and it's the only natural island green in the world.

_Challenging Distance_
This par 3 hole can vary in length but is typically around 199 yards, which makes it a challenging tee shot.

_Surrounded by the Ocean_
The green is set on a natural rocky island, completely surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, making club selection and timing crucial.

**Tide Timings for 'Tale of the Whale'**

To conquer this hole, you need to be aware of the tides:

_Low Tide_
The best time to play this hole is during low tide when a narrow land bridge emerges, allowing golfers to access the green with a golf cart. Low tide typically occurs in the morning.

_High Tide_
During high tide, the green area becomes an island once more, resulting in the closure of the path leading to it. High tide typically occurs in the afternoon. If you schedule your tee time for the afternoon, there's no need to worry; you can still take your shot. Just keep in mind that you won't be able to play the hole on the green.

**Pro Tips for Playing "Tale of the Whale"**

_Club Selection_
Choose your club wisely based on the yardage, wind conditions, and your skill level. Many players opt for a mid-iron or hybrid club to ensure they clear the water and land safely on the green.

_Check Tide Timings_
Before heading to the course, check the tide timings to plan your game accordingly. Aim to play during low tide for the best chance of reaching the green with a golf cart. If staying with VEHM, your concierge can arrange tee times according to your preferences.

_Wind Considerations_
The ocean breeze can significantly impact your shot. Pay attention to wind direction and speed, and make necessary adjustments to your aim and swing.

_Practice Short Game_
Given the challenging nature of this hole, honing your short game skills is essential. Spend time on the putting green and practice chipping and pitching.

_Professional Guidance_
Consider booking a golf lesson or having a caddy who is familiar with the course. Their insights and tips can be invaluable in helping you navigate "Tale of the Whale."

**Final thoughts**

Mastering the "Tale of the Whale" par 3 in Punta Mita is a golfing experience like no other. By understanding the tide timings, being prepared for the challenging conditions, and applying our pro tips, you'll be better equipped to conquer this iconic hole. Enjoy the thrill of playing golf against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, and make your visit to Punta Mita unforgettable.
