L.E. Ramey Golf Course
The golf : Loaded with water hazards, bunkers, and mesquite
trees, L.E. Ramey is a tough little course that was one of the best courses
in the state when it was built in the 1970s. This is a solid design with
tree-lined fairways and large greens in outstanding condition. The course
was named after Kingsville doctor and avid golfer Lindell Ramey
The course has changed management many times over the years, fluctuating
back and forth between private owners and Kleberg County. The course suffers
during drought conditions with dried-out fairways that cannot be helped
by the aging irrigation system. Locals have pushed for private ownership
to ensure that the course is well maintained, but no takers have surfaced.
From the middle tees this course plays to a reasonable 6,185 yards, highlighted
by par 3s that can be reached with a 6 iron or less. From the tips the
course is much, much longer (almost 7,000 yards).
