The Winter Texans are so important to the economy in the Valley, and we have made so many good relationships with many of them.” Of course, it helps that the course is always in amazing condition with a layout that is visually enchanting but both challenging and unique. It also boasts the biggest lighted driving range in the Valley. It also has a fully stocked pro shop with all the new – and impressive looking -- Champion Lakes gear. And don’t forget to grab a burger while you’re there. Tierra Del Sol – Second place With several parks nearby, many Winter Texans went home one year and came back to find a new and improved Tierra Del Sol. Greens were restructured. Grass went from tee to green, drainage was improved and Tierra Del Sol became a completely new golfing experience. Some holes are still in the “grip it and rip it” category, but other holes require a deft touch. Large greens are nice and roll true – but large greens also can lead to really long putts. Sometimes laying up and pitching onto the green here is more beneficial than being on the farthest point from the green. The course also has amazing breakfast tacos. Los Lagos – Third Place This course is a unique experience that can be frustrating or super rewarding. Moguls, elevation changes and, of course, Valley wind are the triple crown of golf and Los Lagos has them all. There’s just something about this course that calls out to golfers at all levels. It’s visually appealing, incredibly challenging but a course that has to be played at least once – but once you play it, you’ll be struck with the Lagos bug and want to keep returning. MID-VALLEY Tierra Santa – First Place The course with the most wellknown finishing hole is undergoing major changes – including flip-flopping its front and back nine, meaning No. 18 will now by No. 9. The good side is that even if you have a bad No. 9, you still have nine more holes to recover – and can make a stop at the clubhouse along the way. The pro shop is being remodeled as well as the restaurant. The course has been in immaculate shape for several years and the layout is fabulous. You could play this course over and over and never get tired of the challenges, or the beauty of several holes. It’s no wonder this continually ranks among the most favorite golf courses in the Valley. It has 14 lakes, strategically placed sand traps and provides See GOLF pg. 14 Tierra Santa Golf Course - First Place Mid-Valley Golf Course
