    I am looking for sources of good sand in the West Texas area. We are far from the grid so trucking is always an issue.

    We are in West Texas about 1 hour southwest of Alpine . There is another small town about 20 miles from us called Terlingua.

    We are right across the river form Mexico

    I have been to your club, does the mayor still drink beer out of the bottle? How do you play the par three with the green in Mexico?

    Mike:

    The old course used to play a par three to mexico. Since it was destroyed by a flood in 2008 I believe, the course has been rebuilt. Used to have bent grass as well. Now we have platinum paspalum wall to wall.
