About
Aiming to become one of the premier golf courses in the state of Texas, Palm View Golf Course was rebuilt by SAJO Construction, the 1996 Golf Course Builder of the Year, under the guidance of the world renowned architect Charles Howard.
This beautiful 18-Hole facility is owned and operated by the City of McAllen and open to the public. Its wide and generous fairways feature 419 Bermuda grass, and are flanked by Common Bermuda roughs and mounds that create a unique and challenging atmosphere. Fourteen (14) man-made lakes provide the golfer with pleasant thrills and some of the most panoramic views in the area.

Best course in the RGV
Best muni in the RGV, they renovated the greens and are in perfect conditions. Lot of hazards in play which makes it a challenging course. I would recommend this course to everyone who visits the area!
Great RGV course
Slicers beware! A great course with water hazards all over, approximately 13 of the18 holes! Fun layout, some great risk-reward shots come into play. Pace of play is ATROCIOUS! Very very slow with no Marshal dictating tee-times or encouraging faster play. If they were to keep track of groups throughout the round, or at the turn at the very least, it would improve the course dramatically. Don't expect a sub 5 hour round usually.
That said, it is one of the better RGV courses. It's usually in very "playable" conditions with above average greens. The only greens I can say are better are the greens at Los Lagos and Tierra Santa in the RGV.
Always a good place to play.
Consistency is one of the hallmarks of Palmview. It is always in good playable condition. The staff is always pleasant to deal with. The holes are always challenging but fair. And it always seems to be the best municipal course in the Valley. To top it all off, they always serve a great cheeseburger in the snack bar.
