Designed by Dennis W. Arp, El Diablo golf course is playable yet challenging, stretching over 6,800 yards from the back tees. Construction began on the course in 1971 on what was once a citrus orchard and was named El Diablo (the devil) because the grapefruit trees lining the fairways made it so devilishly difficult to play. Today the fairways are lined with towering palms, tropical vegetation and water hazards on nine of the holes. The Tif-Dwarf greens are known to be some of the fastest in South Texas. El Diablo has hosted the PGA Tour Qualifying School for Curtis Strange, Craig Stadler and Peter Jacobson.
Rancho Viejo Resort & Country Club's practice facilities offer a full length driving range, a large putting green and a bunkered chipping area perfect for a pre-round warm up or a great day of practice.
