About
Set along the Rio Grande River, this is a scenic course with spectacular views. The front nine was built in 1987, and the back nine followed in 1992. The highlight of the course is what is perhaps the longest water hazard in Texas, the Rio Grande River, which flows along holes 5 through 13 on the left side of the fairway.
Narrow fairways and grass bunkers make the course tough, especially when the wind is howling, as it is tough to hit the small, firm greens. Water is everywhere. No. 14 is the only hole without water. The par 3 17th hole, with its island greens, headlines a series of demanding par 3 holes. The last hole plays 434 yards into the wind and has out-of-bounds on either side of the fairway.
Getting there : From Harlingen take Hwy. 77 south. When you come to Hwy. 802 turn right, then continue until you reach Hwy 281. Turn right again and drive approximately 2.5 miles to the course

Aeration alert
Nice course with an interesting layout. Too bad Golfnow doesn’t warn when courses aerate. Greens and tee boxes were just done which took away a lot of enjoyment. Course said their website had a warning. Glad I got a good hot deal. Would not have been worth full price in this condition.

Course just aerated greens so greens are currently not good! However, in a week or so, they will be back in excellent condition!!
