About
Until the new Los Lagos club opened recently, Monte Cristo, previously known as Palacio, was the only 18-hole course in Edinburg. The name of the game here is dealing with the wind, which seems to always blow from the Gulf and makes the course much more difficult.
Getting there : Exit Monte Cristo off 281 south, then turn left and drive 2.5 miles to the course.

Fun Course But Not Great
The course was fun to play, but the fairways layout was a bit strange. Also, they don’t let you drive off the sidewalk on 3 par holes and unnecessary block off driving to a large portion of the holes near the green. I had to walk more in this course than any other course I’ve played on. I don’t mind walking, but it is time consuming. Someone, who I assume was the groundskeeper, yelled at us for driving around the green around the ropes. We made sure to stay far away from the green and only stayed in rough areas. The man could have nicely asked us to refrain from doing that but he yelled at us very rudely. We’re all adults, no need to treat us like that. The man in the pro shop was very helpful and nice though. I also like how they had someone selling drinks throughout the course.
Great value
Course in great condition, dude in clubhouse was not friendly and sarcastic for the 2nd time in a row. Carts condition wasn’t great.
Fairways and tee boxes a little rough
Odd layout, conditions weren’t great…but the rate was reasonable and I didn’t see anyone around me while I played so the pace was great!
Bad-THEN GOOD
Course had been airarated big klumps of dirt in fair ways. Greens were good
Regulations
The tape and curbing that restrictions access to the greens is extremely too far from the greens. There really is a waste renting a cart. Restrictions are 50 plus yards from the greens. You nearly walk more than you ride. There is no leeway for handicapped or elderly players. This could almost considered discrimination.
Enjoyed Monte Cristo, so sad it isn’t offered anymore. Even though it’s a bit of a drive to get to, we enjoyed playing there.
Monte Cristo golf
Amazing Club House, very clean and friendly, they seem not to appreciate Goln Now, things are not working out, course is fun , specially for the ladies, interesting layout, price is great , to bad no cantine or restaurant open . Will be back !
For the quality of courses in the area, we really recommend it
Areas cordened off
The corded off areas are ridiculous. You might as well not rent a cart. To get to the greens you need to walk 50 to 70 yards to putt. The rest of the course is very good. It's definitely not set up for senior Play!0
Course review
Employee at desk extra friendly and helpful. Entire course in good shape. Really enjoyed the round. Only 1 problem im a 76 year old senior. So walking roped off areas a bit too much for me.
One of my favorites
I love playing this course. We try squeezing into the hot deals for obvious reasons, but honestly we play this course more because of it. If their flat rate was like 35-40$ we’d probably play here every weekend. Also the only complaint I really have about this course is some trees need to be trimmed down. That large tree on hole one needs trimmed or taken down almost makes it impossible to get onto the green in two… also hole 16 the par three there’s a tree on the right side of the tee box that needs just a little trimming. Overall great course challenging but playable for all levels if they use the correct tees. Have shot 2 of my best rounds here with a 77 and 79 from the blues.
