About

Golf CourseGolf Driving RangeGolf InstructorWedding Venue
Opened in 2012 and located just north of Laredo, "The MAX" overlooks the Rio Grande River and has been acclaimed as one of the best Public Golf Courses in Texas. Golfers can enjoy stunning views of the Rio Grande River throughout the course, especially on the four holes that play directly on the waterfront. The course features a great variety of holes, with short and long Par 4s and Par 5s, and four unique Par 3s that range from 138 yards to 210 yards from the tips. The layout even offers up everything from double fairways to a few semi-blind tee shots, adding to the challenge & mystique of this beautifully maintained track.

    Most definitely was a destination every weekend during my extended stay in Laredo, TX. Course conditions are always amazing. Staff is excellent minus cart girl who seems to disappear later in the afternoon and big homie who bums smokes off of you, picks up lost balls and tries to resell to you...... 5/5 stars, would highly recommend! Will most definitely miss MMM and clubhouse staff..

    Awesome course! We had such a great time playing here. The staff, especially Itzel, was incredibly friendly and helpful. The course is in excellent condition—not too difficult, but still a fun challenge. The greens are perfect, and overall we had an absolute blast.

    I was reluctant to take my clubs from DFW.. SO glad I did. Absolutely amazing track. You will not find better greens at a municipal course. Beautiful views. Club house and lunch was amazing. Staff polite and made me feel at home. I didn’t want to leave. Can’t wait to come back!!!
