Texas’ Only True Links-Style
Golf Experience

Play where the game was meant to be played. Set along the Texas Gulf Coast and overlooking the Gulf, Palmilla Beach Golf is home to Texas’ only true links-style golf course — a one-of-a-kind coastal experience where sea breezes, natural dunes, and wide-open fairways create a round unlike any other in the state.

Originally designed by Arnold Palmer, Palmilla Beach Golf invites golfers of every skill level to enjoy a relaxed yet unforgettable day on the course. Whether you’re chasing your lowest score, introducing someone to the game, or simply soaking in the coastal views, every round is designed to be as memorable as the destination itself. Every tee time includes a complimentary golf cart and one hour of access to our driving range before your round.

9 Hole Course

Our regulation 9-hole course delivers a true links-style challenge with firm fairways, strategic bunkering, and ever-changing coastal winds that reward creativity as much as precision. Holes 4, 5, and 6 offer breathtaking views stretching across the beach and Gulf of Mexico, making them some of the most scenic golf holes in Texas.

Play a traditional 9 holes or create your perfect golf day by combining rounds for 18 or even 21 holes.

The Loop:
3 Holes, Endless Fun

Looking for a quick round or a fun way to sharpen your short game? The Loop is Palmilla Beach’s 3-hole short course, perfect for families, beginners, juniors, or golfers looking to squeeze in a few extra holes after their round.

Play it on its own or add it to your 9-hole round for a unique 12-hole or 21-hole experience you won’t find anywhere else.
