Laredo: The Newest Golfing Destination
Laredo is poised to be the latest word on the tip of a golfer’s tongue, thanks to the new Max A. Mandel Municipal Golf Course. Recognized as being one of the only golf construction projects in the United States and perhaps the continent, Laredo has begun to create a course that will play and feel like no other in this region. The experience brings users right up to the edge of the country overlooking the famed Rio Grande. The manmade contours delicately frame the native flora and fauna, highlighting the hundred-year-old mesquite trees and bringing south Texas wildlife within ample view of the cart path. Among the 279 acres, the elevations and vegetation vary and several watershed-feeding creeks create a natural visual and practical challenge for all levels of players to the course.

Laredo has hired a star-studded lineup to collaborate on the project. The selected contractor, Landscapes Unlimited, has teamed up with famed golf name, Robert Trent Jones II as the architect on the project. Topped off with an operator, Foresight Golf that has been engaged in the project from early in the process, the all-star team is working diligently to bring the project to realization by Spring 2012.
