ACC is in South Texas in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley and is located on the southeast corner of Tower Road and FM 495 in Alamo, Texas. Alamo is just north of the Mexican border and a one-hour drive from South Padre Island. Tourist-friendly Mexican towns offer ethnic food and keepsakes. Nearby cities of McAllen, Mission, Edinburg and Harlingen provide excellent hospitals and a wide variety of restaurants, entertainment and shopping opportunities. ACC is a Home Owners Association governed by a Board of Directors elected by members. The 200-acre property consists of 526 member-owned lots, most located on either the golf course or the nature park. ACC is exceptionally proud of its nine-hole golf course, which includes practice areas for pitching/chipping and putting. The large clubhouse houses a golf pro shop, administrative offices, a billiard room and meeting rooms, a library, a workout room, a fully-equipped kitchen, a card room, and a great hall. Other amenities include a large heated swimming pool, tennis courts, shuffleboard courts, and horseshoe pits. A full-service pavilion is also available for parties, picnics and other activities. Additionally, ACC features an RV storage area. ACC’s nature park is a fine new addition to the community and attracts a great variety of birds and butterflies passing through on their annual migration. The Rio Grande Valley is in a main corridor of the North American Migration Flyway. Several rare birds and butterflies have been sited at Alamo Country Club. We invite you to come watch with us! Whether you are a golfer or not, our community has over 40 active clubs and activities. For everyone’s safety, we have a 24/7 guard at the gate and an extra patrolling guard at night.
