Port Isabel, TX · 20 mi away

Jim Paul Golf Course is a public golf facility in Port Isabel, Texas, near the base of the causeway to South Padre Island. Multiple course directories list it as an 18-hole layout. The course is short, with total yardage from the back tees listed at about 1,405 yards and only 150-yard markers rather than full yardage signage, consistent with an executive or short-course format rather than a full-length regulation course. Fairways are bermuda grass and greens are bentgrass, with pull carts and rental clubs available but no listed driving range. The course is open to public play, with tee times arranged by phone through the pro shop rather than an online booking system.

Port Isabel, TX · 20 mi away

South Padre Island Golf Club occupies low-lying ground along the Laguna Madre near Port Isabel, at the southern tip of the Texas coast. Chris Cole and Stephen Caplinger designed it and it opened in 1997, threading coastal wetlands and native brush. Gulf wind is a constant, and the exposure defines scoring more than any hazard does. Bermuda greens and generous fairways keep it playable at 6,931 yards and a par of 72. It is the main 18-hole course serving the South Padre and lower Rio Grande Valley market.
