Golf in Del Rio

Del Rio is the county seat of Val Verde County in southwest Texas on the Rio Grande, across from Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico. The city has Laughlin Air Force Base as a significant employer and serves as a crossing point for international commerce and travel in the border region. Amistad National Recreation Area and its reservoir are near the city, formed by the Amistad Dam on the Rio Grande, creating a large recreational lake in the Chihuahuan Desert. San Felipe Springs is the artesian spring system that has sustained the community, providing water in a region where surface water is scarce. The brushy, semi-arid terrain of Val Verde County at roughly 1,000 feet elevation along the Rio Grande defines the setting. One course serves Del Rio in the semi-arid brush country of Val Verde County.
