Valley International Country Club (Championship)

Valley International Country Club (Championship) is a popular round among Hole19 golfers in Texas, and it's easy to see why. This 18-hole public course in Brownsville spans more than 1,000 acres and makes full use of its natural water hazards. Twelve of the eighteen fairways are either bordered or cut through by a resaca — a natural oxbow lake — creating a water challenge that is genuinely hard to find elsewhere. Four sets of tees mean the course works for a wide range of abilities, from seasoned players seeking a serious test to newcomers taking in the surroundings at their own pace. The setting adds its own character: palm trees line the course and rare birds are a regular presence, giving Valley International a distinctly tropical feel for a Texas layout.
