The "St. Andrews of Padre Island" opened in the 1970s, featuring a Bruce Littell links-style design with water on 15 of 18 holes. With stiff sea breezes and sand dunes covered in thick grasses, along with the nasty "heather" that borders most holes, Padre Isles is one tough mother.

Besides the difficult layout, the greens are tricky because the grain grows downwind, eliminating the slope from the equation-not something the inland golfer becomes easily accustomed to. Remember: when putting, consider the wind first.

Hole 4 is rated the most difficult, a long par 5 that plays 509 yards from the middle tees.

Getting there : Look for signs in Corpus Christi. Take the two bridges over to South Padre Island Drive.
