Monte Cristo Golf & Country Club
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.

Very pleased
We are dealing with drought conditions that are beyond control. Fortunately the greens were still able to be kept in good condition. Hope they get some rain!
I brought my munchkin with me and it was great.
I decided the bring my daughter today which is 5 years old. Staff was super nice to us and even showed her attention. The marshal even gave her a ball. The play was slow due to a full course but that allowed us to take our time. Besides the old guys playing up on us. It was a great time.
Greta course
Course was pretty good shape. Downfall is the groups of 5 that hold up the whole course even with a Marshall present. As many as three groups backed up on one hole just sure to poor golf ethics by the “5”some two holes ahead
Good coarse
Play was good. Fairways were a little dry, but all else was good. Had enough water and grass hazards to make it challenging.
Great Course for the price
Had a lot of fun playing. A group let me play through which was nice. Older carts but the seats were good and were pretty quick. Didn't have range balls when I showed up but said they might on other days. Course layout was good with a fair amount of water hazards. A nice little island par 3 toward the end of the back 9 makes for a unique hole. Lots of jackrabbits. Overall a fun course to play and I'll be coming back.
Good course.
I like the course. More open for begginer type golfers with a few water traps and grass traps to offer a challenge on several holes. Greens are in good shape. Fairways were a little dry and cut a bit short. Makes for a good roll after shot.
