Harlingen Country Club

Back in 2003, I played in a tournament at Harlingen Country Club with the late Jack Wilson.  I made an eagle on a par 4 and saved the ball with the info written on it.  Little did I know it would be my last eagle made since.

I had the opportunity to go back and while I did not make another eagle, I enjoyed playing this "new" (to me) course.  I did not recognize the same hole:  memory had failed me.  I liked the course as a 50s style Texas course like the old Austin Country Club on Riverside where I played a lot growing up in Austin.  There were a lot of houses around in the midcentury style, very low and flat.  The area reminded me of another course in the area from the same time Rancho Viejo, also a small incorporated town with a golf course in the middle of it.

Some time ago, I tried to play a number of other local courses.  This one should add to the list.  I need to get serious about that goals and some that come to mind are:
Ebony Hills - Edinburg
Tierra Del Sol - Pharr
Seven Oaks - Mission

So there are 3 to get after this summer.
