Mid-Valley courses, where beauty meets challenging
Most golf courses, but not all, have signature holes, a hole where challenging meets aesthetic beauty. Most of these lean more toward scenery and difficulty, but they can certainly have a mixture of both.
Today, this is the last part in our three-part series looking at some of the amazing signature holes across the Rio Grande Valley
Tierra Santa Golf Club, Weslaco
Courses have their signature holes and golfers have their signature holes – sometimes the two don’t match. That usually has something to do with what score you’re penciling in. The No. 14 par-5 at Tierra Santa can leave you breathless, literally. No matter how you do on this hole, it’s one you’re going to remember.
As the signature hole of the gorgeous and well-maintained course, it stretches from the tips for 610 yards. Lucky for you there are several sets of tips to go from. Still, you want to hit your drive a good 260, which leaves your second shot into the slight dogleg right another full swing away.
There’s a lake on the right side and bunkers surrounding the green. It’s one of several holes that this course will make you use a handful of the clubs in your bag. Of course, hitting from different tees just brings different challenges, but that’s what makes this hole so special.
