Corpus Christi Golf Guide

The small, well-bunkered greens on Oso Beach Municipal Golf Course in Corpus Christi, Texas, are made all the more challenging by the nearly constant winds that buffet the course. Though short by modern course standards, this muni was good enough to host the 1946 "World Championship Four-Ball Match," featuring Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Byron Nelson and Jimmy Demaret. If Oso Beach was good enough for these golf legends, then it should be worth a round today.

Golfers in the Corpus Christi area who want to work on their games, then put that practice time to the test, should visit the Lozana Golf Center. A lighted range, chipping and putting areas and a 9-hole executive course allow golfers to find the confidence they need to tackle the more than 7,000 yards of the 18-hole course, which plays to a rating from the tips of nearly 74.

Of course, before or after grooving their swings, golfers can partake of a host of activities in the Corpus Christi area. Foremost among these may be a visit to Padre Island National Seashore, a haven for drunken college kids come Spring Break but also a wonderful place to experience balmy breezes blowing off the Gulf of Mexico at other times.

Military buffs will find a visit to the USS Lexington fascinating, as the most highly decorated aircraft carrier of World War II is now a museum. And fans of America's National Pastime can take in a minor-league game at Whataburger Field, home of the Corpus Christi Hooks.
