About this course
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.
