A large state has a large number of golf courses, and Texas has more than a thousand. From small par 3 courses to championship layouts ready for the PGA tour, there is a course out there that will fit your style and skill level. Texas is home to some of the country’s top courses, and although that fact has been somewhat unknown, recently an increasing number of golfers have made Texas their destination of choice for a fantastic vacation.
With so many courses to choose from, where do you start? The Rio Grande Valley boasts an impressive number of top-notch golf courses, and is renowned for good weather and plenty of other recreational activities. Houston, Austin and San Antonio boast the most courses in Texas, and the mild weather in the Galveston area make it an ideal golfing spot year round.
For a unique course, try Ambush at Lajitas, where four holes are on an island in the Rio Grande River. South Padre Island is a vacation paradise with many recreational activities for the whole family. And Texas boasts two “Tour 18” courses – a unique concept of taking the layout of the best holes from 18 of the top courses in the nation, and making one great course. These two are located in Dallas and Houston.
Make your plans for Texas, and head for a golf vacation you won’t soon forget. |
