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.
Credit cards accepted. Contact club for full details, discounts, packages, etc. [Last updated: 2021].
Golf Boards (motorised scooters) available.
