Max A. Mandel Golf Course
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.

Nice course
The course was in overall good shape. Nice peaceful setting on the river. The greens need some work. They were better last time I played here in the summer. The staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely play here again next time I'm in town.
Great course
The course is well worth the drive. Greens in great shape. Condition of fairways was excellent.
Really nice Munie Trac
Really nice golf course. Greens were a little slow but not bad. Cost for Twilight round was $31 (for 18). Seems a bit high to me......but I would definitely play here again!
Great for all golfers
The Max is a refreshing retreat from the the long, wide and straight fairways that seem to be so popular with newer courses. Rather, the Max presents a combination of lateral hazards and/or thick native areas that require the golfer to keep the ball on a narrower fairway and strategically work around doglegs and fairway bunkers. The greens are always in good shape, and the driving range and practice greens are also nice.
Great course for any player
The course has very well maintained fairways and greens, and is a refreshing retreat from the long and straight hole layout that seems to be so popular for newer courses. Instead, the Max presents a combination of lateral hazards and/or thick native areas that require the golfer to hit narrower fairways and strategically work around doglegs and fairway bunkers. The greens are always in great shape, and the course is very scenic. The driving range and practice greens are nice as well.
