El Campeón, built in 1917, is one of the south's oldest golf courses. Chicago-based course architect, George O'Neil, and with further enhancements in 1926 by Charles E. Clarke of Troon, Scotland, blended unusual elevation changes of more than 85 feet with features of traditional golf design.  Rolling fairways and undulating greens only begin to characterize El Campeón.  The course’s signature hole is the par 5, 17th, a long, double dogleg that has more obstacles than some entire courses.   An abundance of natural beauty, will mark this course as one of your all time favorites!

Las Colinas (The Hills) was named "Best Places to Play - 4 star" by Golf Digest, nominated as “Best New Resort Course” by Golf Digest in 1992, and a recipient of the "Top Fairways" recognition by Golf for Women.

Las Colinas offers quite a different challenge from El Campeón. Its wide-open fairways and gentle rolling hills create an inland links design. Greens are large and undulating, while the course's classic old architecture style demands proper shot placement. The signature par 5, 12th hole ”Alligator Alley,” spans 493 yards along one of the tree-lined fairways, requiring absolute accuracy from tee-to-green.
