Eighteen Hole at Valley International Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Set amongst the tall palm trees and tropical conditions, this 18-hole course was one of the first tracks in the Rio Grande Valley. Built on both sides of the coastal tributary, water comes into play on 12 holes. Beware of the wind, but when it's calm your tee shots will find wide fairways and generous landing areas, and the approaches are into medium-sized greens with an average speed. Get to know the speed of these fair greens and you will start rolling in 10-20 footers with confidence.
Hole 4 is the number one handicap and plays 422 yards from the tips, where water crosses the fairway in the landing area and menaces over the right side of the hole. Other notable holes are the long par 3 10th hole with its peninsula green, as well as the 17th (512-yard par 5), which is loaded with water on the right that crosses in front of the green.
Getting there : On south Hwy. 77, exit FM 802 and turn right. Proceed to McAllen Rd and turn left, where the road eventually dead-ends at the parking lot.

Great value
Courses in south Texas are a great value. Now loving it even more with deals from golfnow.com
its a nice golf course the fairways are nice and wide
I have to say its good over all . the only thing that i don't like is the lack of drinking water. it needs more of that but its a great course
pros and cons
the course is challenging due to the water hazards and bunkers. The greens are very well kept, some fairways need a little work, but they are not too bad considering the south Texas heat and drought.
