Rockport at Rockport Country Club

Rockport Country Club sits along the Texas Gulf Coast in the small fishing and arts community of Rockport, about thirty miles northeast of Corpus Christi. The course was designed by Jimmy Demaret, the three-time Masters champion who became a prolific course architect in Texas and beyond during the 1950s and 1960s. Bill Coore, who would later gain renown for his minimalist design work with Ben Crenshaw, was involved in the project early in his career, contributing to the routing and design work under Demaret's direction.

The layout occupies relatively flat coastal terrain characteristic of the region, with the Gulf breezes playing a significant role in strategy and shot-making throughout the year. Live oaks, native grasses, and coastal vegetation frame the holes, while the proximity to Aransas Bay influences both the playing conditions and the setting. The course reflects Demaret's straightforward design philosophy, emphasizing playability and strategic options rather than penal hazards.

Rockport Country Club serves as the primary golf facility for this coastal community, drawing both local members and visitors exploring the Texas Gulf Coast. The club maintains a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere consistent with the town's character as a destination for fishing, birding, and coastal recreation. The course provides a traditional layout that has served the area for decades, offering a glimpse of mid-century Texas golf design in a distinctive coastal setting.
