Default Golf anyone?

I am staying in the Boca Chica area from Feb.8-12th and wonder about courses in the area and if there's anyone who'd like to meet for a game?

Default Re: Golf anyone?

There's a real hacker's course, walk only (with caddy) with greens fees about $US10 15 minutes outside of Boca Chica. I've played there several times and they have pool there that you are free to use after the game, or anybody that comes with you can hang out at the pool (they have a limited bar and restaurant) while you play. It is in Andres. The course is such that any ball not in the fairway is gone. No water traps, some sand. The grass is hard. One good thing is that every time I've played, I've always had the whole course to myself and never saw another soul. I played it after the hurricane and you cannot tell the storm passed through.

There is a much nicer course about 20 minutes the other direction on the way to Juan Dolio, but I haven't played it because I'm a bit of a hacker.

I'm leaving the day after your arrival and you'll probably not be able to play on your arrival day, unfortunately. Clubs are available for rent and balls/glove/tees can be bought.
