Swing into action on one of two 18 hole, championship golf courses, "El Angel" & "El Diablo”! These palm-lined, par-70's with manicured fairways and tropical vegetation are disturbed only by well-placed bunkers, undulating greens, and strategically-placed water hazards called resacas. Designed to test the mettle of even the most experienced golfer, (6,899 yards) they still give the average golfer a pleasant round.

A National Golf Foundation poll concluded that the Rio Grande Valley has more playable days of golf per year (less than 25 days lost) than anywhere else in the United States. (Course play will alternate daily between members and resort guests).

Rancho Viejo also offers its own golf school for those that want to improve their game or for those just learning to play. Our golf school offers two three-day programs per week from January through April with an optional one day school available.

If you just want some personal instruction, Rancho Viejo has an excellent staff and plenty of room for you to practice on our driving range or putting and chipping greens. Group activities can also be easily accommodated since we are equipped to give clinics or put on great tournaments.

The beautiful courses, practice and teaching facilities, locker and clubroom facilities, as well as our complete pro shop make Rancho Viejo "the best golf on the Gulf."

El Angel and El Diablo complement other fine courses in the area, making the South Padre Island/Lower Rio Grande Valley area a serious alternative to better known golfing destinations.
