Oso Beach Municipal Golf Course
The golf : The Oso Beach Golf & Country Club opened
in 1939 with an 18-hole John Bredemus design along the Cayo de Oso watershed,
where the bay wind blows incessantly. The course opened to the public
in 1946, and the Corpus Christi Golf Association promoted the facility
with its "World Championship Four-Ball Match" featuring the
golf dream team of Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, and Jimmy Demaret.
The course plays out over flat terrain, but the fairways are lined by
trees and bunkers impact play throughout. Water is the main issue on the
back, coming into play much more than on the front. The toughest hole
is the 180-yard par 3 No. 13-it plays directly into the prevailing south
wind, with an intimidating tee shot over water that is often too much
to handle.
