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.

Amazing course. Bring bug spray!

I've wanted to play this course for several years and finally got around to it. It was amazing. Complimentary balls on the driving range to start, great customer service by absolutely everyone and absolutely beautifully maintained course. 100% recommend. Only negatives were that the mosquitos were the size of vultures and finding the driving range and hole 1 was a bit confusing. Bug spray will fix the first problem and asking any of the friendly staff should fix the latter. Can't wait to make this a staple of my yearly coast trip.

Greens in Excellent Conditions

I had not played here in over 8 years. Course in great condition. Golf shop check-in fast and staff was great answering my questions.
Pace of play can be confusing since you play 9 twice.
Some on 1st and 2 nd 9.
After first time no wait.

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.

Beach Course

Very pretty area with a nice community surrounding it. I needed to read closer…. this is a nine hole course you place twice! Wish it was 18… loved the bar and fire pit after!

Mosquito Heaven

I went for a round in the morning on 11/10/22. I was warned by the staff when I got to the course, that the mosquitoes in full force. Boy were they! I put the mosquito repellant on heavy before I started my round and in between each hole. Had to stop my round after about 40 minutes. Just had enough of the swarms of constant attacks! Great course, and friendly staff, but be careful during mosquito outbreaks.

9 hole course, par 32

My main beef with this course is that it is NOT an 18 hole course, or a par 71 course, or a course in any way 6900 yards. It is in fact a 9 hole course, par 32, without any par 5's included. I understand hurricane Harvey made some real damages 5 years ago, but that should be enough time to revise the information on what you're getting when you pay for what you think. I believe this course to be more like an executive course. Feeling scammed!
