Max A. Mandel Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Located just north of Laredo, the Max A. Mandel Municipal Golf Course overlooks the Rio Grande River. Golfers can enjoy stunning views throughout the course but especially on the four holes that play directly on the waterfront. The par-72 layout sprawls across 270 acres of rugged south Texas landscape. The terrain is covered with 100-year-old mesquite trees and two vast arroyos, which were incorporated into the layout. There are also a variety of elevation changes across the landscape that can be challenging but the design manages to seamlessly blend dramatic features and playability. Crafted by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the golf course appeals to a range of skill levels from novices to frequent golfers. Risk-reward opportunities can be found throughout Mandel, giving both short and long hitters a variety of ways to play each hole.

Great Golf Course

Awesome course
Very nice course staff very helpful would recommend it to anyone and I don't think they'll be disappointed
Military Vet
The course is in great shape. New management has changed rules which gives an impression of golfers as unwelcome burdens.
Great round
The course was in really good shape for a cold day in January. The greens still need a little bit of work, but they are so much better than the last time I played. I enjoy playing this course whenever I get the chance. I highly recommend it.
1st 2025 Golf Round
Excellent course layout and the fairways and greens are in great shape!
Great Sunday
Course was in great condition. Fairways were in excellent shape. Greens were a little long but overall they were in good shape. Only one green was somewhat unplayable. Overall course was in the best shape it’s been in a while.
Awesome fairways but greens are all temporary at the moment. Actual greens will be superb once back in play.
Nice layout by the Rio Grande!
Really nice layout, but new greens were underway to be ready October 2024. Just by Rio Grande, a challenging layout! Looking forward to new greens next time I come by!
Worth a road trip, if they work on the greens
This is an excellent course, nice mixture of wide open fairways and some tight, short holes with good topography and interesting, sloped and mounded greens and green complexes. The fairways were in great shape, the tee boxes were good, my only problem was the greens. They have really good potential, interesting shapes and sizes and slopes, but...they're almost neglected. I understand winter weeds (poa annua) are going to invade, but I think it means you keep the greens cut short and consistently to provide a more even surface. The greens could also use punching, sanding and rolling and love and care. Will check back later.
Great Course
Great course. Enjoyable, friendly and helpful staff. Can't wait to play again.
Max Golf Course
Great course. Love the staff and especially love playing there. Not to mention the food is great. You won't break the bank while you are there too. Everything is reasonably priced.
Great condition
This course was in great condition, especially for January. The greens are in great shape and I can see them being extremely tough and true come middle of the season. Staff was extremely kind and helpful!
