PALMILLA BEACH RESORT & GOLF COMMUNITY

258 SNAPDRAGON

PORT ARANSAS, TEXAS

Thanks to Palmilla Beach, there’s no reason to travel all the way to Scotland for a traditional links-style course! Originally designed by Arnold Palmer, the course was refreshed last year with nine holes of regular play plus The Loop, its three hole short course. Everyone is welcome (no membership required) and though the dress code is beach-casual, they take their golf very seriously and maintain a course that Golf Week ranks in the top 1% across the country.
