Dotted with nine courses from Mission to North Edinburg, the Upper Valley is as close to a “Who’s Who” directory than any other area in Deep South Texas. Los Lagos, Champion Lakes and Tierra Del Sol came out as the Winter Texans’ favorite courses a year ago and they are all beautifully laid out, have all been worked on to keep their golf-ish figure intact and provide a wide array of great golf, great views and, most importantly (just joking) great food. Los Lagos maybe heads the list as the most uniquely designed golf course throughout the Rio Grande Valley. Moguls fill the course, something you won’t see anywhere else – especially not in the abundance as it is here. The undulating fairways add to the challenge/ charm and epic ponds that should be compared to Greek and Roman mythological sirens, similarly, luring golf balls to their deaths. Undulating fairways just adds to the strategy for golfers, who can attack most holes in multiple fashion, especially when faced with one of Los Lagos’ many doglegs leaving you with the option of cutting off as much of it as you can or just play it straight. Aided by a never-ending wind that seemingly is in your face no matter which way you are facing, this course, which has five sets of tees ranging from 7,188 yards at the blacks to 5,561 from the reds, is challenging to say the least, but it’s also amazingly fun from the No. 1 tee to the No. 18 green. This should be high on your bucket list. Champion Lakes, formerly known as Palm View, just keeps being a premier destination for golfers. It seems that the course is never in bad shape – only good to great.
