Tropic Star Park

This is your chance to make your dreams come true and play a golf course located in an RV park. The listed policy is "closed to the public," but don't let that minor hindrance force you to miss the opportunity of a lifetime. Beg, hustle, bribe, whatever…just work your way on and enjoy the round. The pitch-and-putt design is flat, and easy for the winter Texans to walk and get the old heart pumping.

Getting there : From McAllen, take Hwy 83 east. When you come to US 281, turn south (S. Cage Blvd). Drive 2 miles and look for the entrance on the left side of the road.
