Tierra Del Sol Golf Club
Played On 05/25/2015In great shape
With our recent rain this course was in excellent condition. Fairways & greens were very good.
It's a fun track and I'm glad to see that the city of Pharr spent the money to upgrade the facilities and course. It's easily worth the $23 fee.
Monte Cristo Golf & Country Club
Played On 05/25/2015Under water!
The good:
Greens were in amazing A+ shape and the tee boxes were dry. An employee was in the pro shop at 7:00am for our 7:15 tee time.
The bad:
After recent heavy rains, several holes were under water and in reality they should've closed the golf course for a couple of days while they dried it out. Fairways are not in great shape but I've seen much, much worse. The mosquitoes were the thickest I've ever seen anywhere.
Review:
The course is an easier type of South Texas setup although a couple of the holes have trees directly in the middle of the fairway a little short of the landing area. It's very flat which I guess explains their drainage problems and most holes are straight ahead with very wide fairways. There were several maintenance guys running around so that's a positive. At their usual $38 green fee I don't think it would be worth a round at all. This is more like a $20-25 course.
South Padre Island Golf Club - 18 Holes Course
Played On 05/10/2015Windy Day but excellent front 9
I had last played this course 2 years ago and it was in terrible shape. I am happy to report that it is under new management and looking much, much better - well, at least the front 9 is as we did not have time to play the back. The greens were excellent and fairways were very good.
It's a fun layout and if you're a golfer you need to check it out when staying at the beach.
Mission West Golf Club
Played On 05/09/2015Course badly needs attention
This course is a great track but through the years the conditions have varied wildly. I am sorry to say that currently it is in very rough shape. The greens were ok but the fairways only have patches of grass and are mostly just weeds. At present you can lose a ball in the fairway.
The greens were rock hard and patchy as well.
Very disappointing but at least it didn't cost very much money.
