Pricey for 9 hole par 32 golf course

The course is excellently maintained. Beautiful and challenging, but par 32, 5 par fours and 4 par threes with two finishing holes both par threes. If you want to play golf in Port Aransas this is your only option.

Most Plush Course in CC Area

It’s always great to play here. It takes a few holes to acclimate to the softness of the fairways because every other course in the area in nothing but hard pan. Greens are pure. Lots of undulations and beautiful scenery. Bring your pitch mark tool.

Missing the rest of the course.

As Newport Dunes/Palmilla Beach before hurricane Harvey, it was one of my favorite layouts in Texas. I'm glad they kept the holes that they could, but I really missed the rest of the course. It's still fun to play!

Missing Newport Dunes

Since the hurricane wiped out the course, it's good they saved some of the original layout. I miss the AP links that it was.
