Palmilla Beach, TX
Palmilla Beach Golf Club (formerly known as Newport Dunes Golf Club) in Port Aransas, Texas, is home to an Arnold Palmer designed links-style course. Originally a full 18-hole championship layout, the rebuilding of the course after Hurrican Harvey blew through in 2017, saw it return as a single loop of nine holes.
The transition to the new nine-hole course was achieved by eliminating nine-holes that lay on the south side of an access road. Some of the remaining holes were shortened, and a new 9th hole, a par-3 of 205 yards, was added. The now smaller version of the original course still provides an enjoyable open links-style layout, which will test your all-round game.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends, and can play 9, 12, 18 or 21 holes.
Must book in advance.
Contact club for full details, discounts, packages, etc. [Last updated: 2021].
