GOLF AT MISSION BELL-TRADE WINDS
Location; Location; Location. Our Resort is located in one of the finest residential neighborhoods in the City of Mission. It is no wonder that there are 5 inexpensive but nice golf courses within 10 minutes of us, including one that you can drive your golf cart to if you want. Needless to say, golf is a big activity at our Resort. We have over 40 golfers (and it is closer to 60 if you count everyone) in our weekly golfing groups.
Our men’s and women’s golf groups enjoy fellowship and fun up to 5 times a week at one of 5 golf courses within 10 minutes of our Resort. Our central location makes us one of the best values in the Rio Grande Valley for those RVer’s looking for plenty of inexpensive golf. We have men’s and women’s groups that play separately and in mixed foursomes, depending on the day and the number of golfers.
Our golf clubs are fun and have a competitive spirit. They meet for social hour (our 19th hole) with golfing and non-golfing spouses alike, several times a week after a hearty round of golf. During social hour, they have potlucks or hor devours where they announce prize winners for games like: Closest to the Pin; Least Amount of Putts; and Low Score (for 18 and 9 holes) for both men and women. You won't find a more fun group of golfers in the entire Rio Grande Valley region of south Texas.
When rated on a scale of excellent (tournament players courses), Good, Medium and Poor, we unofficially rate the courses in our area as “good plus” to medium. We have no poor courses near us. The courses near us are playable for most every golfer. The terrain ranges from flat to slightly hilly for a bit more challenge. All are walkable for most golfers. Best of all, green fees are a steal, ranging between $20 (without a cart) and $40 (with cart) for 18 holes. No other RV or Mobile Home Park can boast a better location than ours for fun on the greens. We are tops in Mission and the gulf coast region of southern Texas.
