About this course
Alice Country Club sits in the South Texas brush country, about 45 miles west of Corpus Christi in the small ranching and oil town of Alice. The course was designed by Ralph Plummer, a Texas-based architect who worked primarily in the state during the mid-twentieth century and built a number of courses for smaller communities across the region. Plummer's designs typically emphasized playability and maintenance efficiency suited to the climate and budgets of rural Texas clubs. The layout occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Coastal Bend area, with native mesquite and huisache providing definition along fairways. The course reflects the practical design sensibilities common to Texas municipal and small-town country clubs of its era, offering straightforward golf that accommodates a range of skill levels. Greens are modest in size and contour, and bunkering tends toward functional rather than elaborate. Alice Country Club serves as the social and recreational center for the local community, hosting member play and regional amateur events typical of South Texas golf. The club maintains the traditions of small-town Texas country clubs, where golf is intertwined with community life and family membership. The course provides a window into regional golf architecture from the period when many Texas towns built their first proper eighteen-hole facilities, designed to endure the heat and limited water resources of the semi-arid climate.

Getting there
The journey to Alice Country Club begins at Corpus Christi International Airport (CRP), roughly 45 minutes to the south, or alternatively through Kingsville Naval Air Station for those with private aviation access. From Corpus Christi, the drive inland carries you northwest through the flat, windswept terrain of the Texas Coastal Bend, where mesquite and live oak dot the horizon and the landscape gradually transitions from coastal marshland to the ranching country that defines South Texas. Alice itself sits at the heart of this quietly prosperous agricultural region, and the final miles into the club unfold along quiet country roads that speak to the understated elegance of this corner of the state. The club's arrival marks a graceful escape into a landscape where tradition, privacy, and the unhurried rhythms of Texas golf culture converge.
