Lower Valley golf courses offer scenic holes
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, we have the second part in our three-part series looking at some of the amazing signature holes across the Rio Grande Valley
River Bend Golf Club, Brownsville
River Bend is the real-life version of “don’t judge a book by its cover.”
When you first look at the course, it looks nice. When you play it, however, its looks, layout and play will make you scratch your head during several holes.
It is scenic, it is pleasant, and it can easily lull you into a false sense of security by its uniqueness.
It has plenty of challenging holes, including the 397-yard par 4, where the different sets of tees put golfers at different angles heading to the hole. The fairway also inclines, and you almost feel like you’re teeing off from a bowl.
