Mcallen Country Club
The golf : For over 20 years McAllen Country Club was
an average 9-hole layout. Then Jay Riviere came along in 1968, added nine
more holes, and molded the course into a first-class layout. And now with
the recent completion of a massive irrigation project, the course is in
the best condition of its 55-year existence.
The design features plush fairways lined by oak trees, and small, elevated
greens. Because of the tight fairways, locals are in the habit of using
irons off the tee. The feature hole is No. 7, a 400-yard par 4 with an
approach shot over water. Hole 17 is also tough, playing 222 yards from
the back tees over water.
