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.

Not too far and worth the drive from Mercedes to this course
We had a very good experience here. The course was in great shape and the greens putted very true. Although I lost a few balls due to my aim, I plan on going again in the near future!
Low fees
Enjoyed the course. It was in good shape. Unfortunately it was a Misty day and had some sprinkles.
"Breezy
Just love that on these hot hot windy days, that when we get to holes 7 10 and 13 that there is cold fresh water to refill your bottle. Thanks for that. In Canada, we don't have water on the course for some reason of health.
Saturday Twilight
Was lucky to play after a tournament finished up. Played by myself in just 2 hours and 25 minutes. Nobody in front or behind me. It was $27 for twilight with a cart. Front 9 is surrounded by homes but not overly tight. Back 9 has some good challenges up front but opens up down the stretch. Greens were dormant but in good condition. Fairways in pretty good condition as well. Look forward to my next round here.
Fun
Fun place to place. Course is perfect for our golf game. People are friendly. Pace of play is usually great. Fairways require planning and some strategic shots. Greens are fair and smooth. Fairways are dry in places but it is February. Love the grass bunkers, so much easier to play out out. Shorter holes makes for better scores. Residents are friendly too, as is the staff. The new carts are great. Have played I think, ten times and have booked more.
Ball washers
There is only one functional ball washer on the entire course. Two water stations at the only toilet stations are not enough when the temperature is above 75.
south Texas Golf
One of the better courses in the Rio Grande Valley!

Great Value

Play
Geat course. Best course I have played in the Valley
Fun Round.
Interesting layout for flat terrain with few trees and relatively wide open fairways but some of the holes have utilized trees strategically and some have water hazards that do sneak up on you. Green though with their winter brown were very fast and smooth and were fair to putt. Rough and fairways were very short and all traps on course are grass traps. The back nine is 4 par 3's, 2 par 4's and 3 par 5's which is different but interesting. I am going to play the course again for sure.
Monte Cristo Golf & CC
The course was very laid back. No starter. The fairways and green were in pretty good shape. No ball washers at the tee blocks. No beverage cart out on the course. It was a good value for what we payed through Golf Now. Just under $20 for 18 holes with cart. We probably would play it again that that price.
Fun course
Generous fairways, unique layout on back nine with 3 par 3's in 4 holes and ending with 2 par 5's. Senior tee boxes make for short iron or wedges into greens.
