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.

Great RGV course for fun
The course is in really good shape and the staff couldn’t be better to assist and welcome golfers of all capabilities. Easy layout and fairways make it a great place for beginners to enjoy the game. Check out the newly opened snack shack that serves great brisket along with hamburgers and hotdogs, make it a combo for the value of your money! It’s available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday during lunchtime.

Excellent value for your money! The greens are fast, plenty of trees if you get off the fairways, water traps on par 3s. Just take some bug spray, mosquitoes are bad , I think it’s because they water a lot. Try not to play on a windy day, if you do, GOOD LUCK!
Could be better....
Ribbon-tapes-ropes whatever, around fairways and greens (some over a 100 yds from greens) give the place a Mickey Mouse look.
Fairways n greens in v good condition.
Brutal day
Easy course, fairways in good conditions. No actual bunkers, greens aren’t in very great shape. The worst part was that it’s absolutely INFESTED with mosquitos. Every, single, hole. Couldn’t go more than a minute without swatting my entire body in hopes to keep them off. It was a quick round thankfully, but the mosquitos were bad enough to NEVER want to come back.
Good value
Place of play excellent greens in good shape for the valley
Flat decent course
Some challenging par three holes some surrounded by water. Flat course with coarse grass fairways. Lots of random trees that can be trouble sometimes. Greens are in decent winter shape. Good value for the cost!
Good all around course.
Course is in good condition, some holes are tougher than others.
Overall, it is one of my favourites in the Rio Grande Valley.
Great course
Greens were fast, great course for amateurs. For the price, I dare you to find a better value. A lot of people play early so they game may be slow, but it’s worth it!
Good economical course
The greens can be somewhat mini golf like if the pin placement is the same as today. Fairways are wide and flat so the ball gets lots of roll. Several holes have water hazards making some of the par threes a challenge! The course plays relatively easy as long as you keep your ball in play. Overall, the course provides good value for your green fee !
Mediocre at best
Snagged a Hot Deal for $12...glad it wasn’t anymore. Course is in okay condition at best. Layout is less than impressive. I drove almost 2 hours because the reviews were so solid for this course, but I don’t completely understand why. The course isn’t in bad shape, the greens roll nicely and some of the fairways are OK.
No one on the course at all on Saturday, played 18 by myself in the car in just under two hours.
great value
course is in good shape. greens have improved greatly no dead spots all green and smooth. great course for the price paid.
