South Padre Island Golf Club
One Golf House Road, Laguna Vista, TX 78578
Phone: 866.943.3622
Welcome to the South Padre Island Golf Club. Where sunsets have to be seen rather than described. Where the third green looking east over The Laguna Madre Bay must be felt, not featured. And where the craftsmanship found in our homes is appreciated best in person. And South Padre Island Golf Club can only be celebrated first hand, through sight and sound and smell. |
