Golf courses and golf hotels around McAllen & the Rio Grande Valley

17 courses in the Rio Grande Valley, from Mission and McAllen to Harlingen, Brownsville and South Padre Island, with tees, course ratings, slope, green fees by season, Winter Texan rates and passes, and booking windows.

Courses

• Brownsville Golf Center, Brownsville: public, 18 holes, par 70, 6144 yards. Brownsville's cheap city 18, being refreshed in 2026. A fine Winter Texan regular round. No posted rates, so call.
• Champion Lakes Golf Course, McAllen: public, 18 holes, par 72, 6748 yards, green fees seen $33–$47. McAllen's city course and the Valley's busiest Winter Texan league venue. $33 to walk, $47 with a cart, $37 twilight with cart. Solid and central rather than special.
• Ebony Hills Golf Course, Edinburg: public, 9 holes, par 35, 3022 yards, rating 67.7 / slope 107. Edinburg's historic 9-holer, cheap and popular with Winter Texans. A new clubhouse is being built through mid-2027.
• Harlingen Country Club, Palm Valley: private, 18 holes, par 72, 6541 yards. Private. Only reachable through a member or a reciprocal arrangement from your home club.
• Llano Grande Golf Course, Mercedes: resort, 18 holes, par 72, 6781 yards, green fees seen $18–$18. A budget resort course for the Llano Grande RV community, under $20 on GolfNow. Conditions draw complaints.
• Los Lagos Golf Course, Edinburg: public, 18 holes, par 72, 7188 yards, rating 74.2 / slope 132, green fees seen $26–$26. The longest and toughest public layout on the west side, a von Hagge water course. Recent upkeep reviews are weak; new Troon management from late 2026 may change that.
• McAllen Country Club, McAllen: private, 18 holes, par 71, 6528 yards, rating 67.4 / slope 115. Private club, not an option for visitors without a member or reciprocal arrangement.
• Monte Cristo Golf & Country Club, Edinburg: semi-private, 18 holes, par 71, 6392 yards, rating 70.2 / slope 122. A well-liked lakes course in a 55+ community north of Edinburg, reportedly very cheap with an annual membership. Confirm visitor access by phone.
• Rancho Viejo Resort & Country Club - El Angel, Rancho Viejo: resort, 18 holes, par 70, 6301 yards, rating 71.5 / slope 120, green fees seen $40–$40. The friendlier of Rancho Viejo's two 18s. Short at par 70 and a sensible pick for seniors and mixed groups. Confirm the price by phone.
• Rancho Viejo Resort & Country Club - El Diablo, Rancho Viejo: resort, 18 holes, par 72, 6847 yards, rating 73.7 / slope 129, green fees seen $37–$45. The harder of Rancho Viejo's pair: narrow, watery and long. The best test near Brownsville. Rates and booking terms are not posted online, so call first.
• River Bend Resort & Golf Club, Brownsville: public, 18 holes, green fees seen $38–$38. A riverside public course with its own RV lots, a natural base for a Brownsville winter. Book through the club app. Call for rates, since none are posted.
• Shary Municipal Golf Course, Mission: public, 27 holes, par 71, 6025 yards, green fees seen $21–$34. Mission's city course: 27 flat holes, about $21 to walk 18, and lit for night play until 11 PM tee times. A cheap, busy Winter Texan staple rather than a destination.
• South Padre Island Golf Club, Laguna Vista: semi-private, 18 holes, par 72, 6931 yards, green fees seen $50–$79. The only course near South Padre Island and the default round for an island trip. Pricier than the Harlingen and Brownsville courses. The twilight rates are the value play.
• Tierra Del Sol Golf Course, Pharr: public, 18 holes, par 72, 6827 yards, green fees seen $26–$41. Pharr's city course: $41 with a cart, and the Valley's clearest seasonal packages ($800 for three months of daily golf). Book online.
• Tierra Santa Golf Club, Weslaco: public, 18 holes, par 72, 7139 yards, rating 73.6 / slope 124, green fees seen $24–$35. The pick of the mid-Valley public courses: a 1997 Brauer/Elkington layout, well reviewed, with GolfNow times from about $24.
• Tony Butler Golf Course, Harlingen: public, 27 holes, par 71, green fees seen $36–$36. Harlingen's 27-hole city course and a Winter Texan staple. Cheap, flat and busy in season. Confirm the current rate and how tee times are handed out before you go.
• Treasure Hills Golf Club, Harlingen: public, 18 holes, par 72, 6960 yards, rating 74.8 / slope None, green fees seen $40–$40. Harlingen's other public 18 and the longer, tougher test in town. Check rates and conditions before booking, because the club has been on the sale market.
