This championship, 18-hole golf course is every bit as unique as Lajitas itself. Only three years old, the Ambush at Lajitas has received stellar reviews from highly regarded publications including: Golf Magazine, Cigar Aficionado, Executive Golfer and Travel + Leisure Golf. The course features four holes on an island in the Rio Grande and—the most unique aspect of the course—an optional par one in Mexico, Hole 11A.

Golf Course Architects Bechtol and Russell designed The Ambush using Dominant Plus Bent Grass and Bermuda Grass 419, while heavily contouring the course to reflect the area’s mountainous ridges (nearby peaks climb 8,000 feet above sea level). Bechtol adds, “Golfers will be distracted by the sheer beauty of the landscape and we hope that they, like us, will be inspired by the setting.”
