- The Jack Nicklaus Signature Bahía
Course was chosen as “Mexico’s Best Golf Course 2018;” known as the “Oscars of
Golf,” these awards identify and reward excellence.
The
St. Regis Punta Mita Resort, located in the Riviera Nayarit, was named Mexico’s
Best Golf Resort. Its Jack Nicklaus Bahía Course—shared with the Four Seasons
Resort Punta Mita—was chosen as Mexico’s Best Golf Course during the 2018 World
Golf Awards.
Known
as the “Oscars of Golf,” these awards identify and reward excellence with
regards to the facilities and services of different courses, resorts, and golf
destinations from around the world with the goal of improving client experience
and stimulating domestic and international markets. The votes were cast by
professionals who work in the golf travel and golfing industries: senior
executives, travel buyers, tour operators, agents, and media professionals.
According
to the website at https://worldgolfawards.com/winners/2018, the 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature
Bahía Course was chosen from among 11 Mexican courses, all with ocean views. As
its name suggests, this course offers panoramic views of Banderas Bay. It has a
hole a few steps from El Faro, Punta Mita’s famous surfing beach, and has
impressive lakes and other aquatic elements.
With
regards to the hotel, The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort offers its guests all the
luxuries of a private and discrete getaway. It has 120 exquisitely decorated
rooms and suites with mesmerizing views of the Pacific or the gardens. All accommodations
combine rustic Provencal décor with Mexican art and handmade furniture. The nearby
Islas Marietas beckon guests to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
The hotel was
nominated and won over other important golf properties located in Riviera Maya,
Cancun, Acapulco, Colima, and Los Cabos.
In this
respect, Jesús Carmona Jiménez, president of the Bahía de Banderas Hotel and
Motel Association (AHMBB), has spotlighted the Riviera Nayarit’s vocation as
one of the most important golf destinations for players. He also mentioned the destination’s
courses certified by the PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association of America) and
designed by some of the best-known names in the business: Jack Nicklaus, Robert
Von Hagge, Jim Lipe, Percy Clifford and Greg Norman. The quality and
challenging nature of these courses have made them one of the region’s key
attractions.
