The Valley has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. Most every town big enough to have a charter has at least one golf course. Click here for a chart that provides a listing of all valley courses, listed alphabetically, and full descriptions of their facilities. Hunting The first two weeks of September brings an influx of migratory, billed and greenjacketed creatures - white wing hunters. The Valley is the only region in the United States where whitewing dove can be taken.
Hunting leases are also available for white-tailed deer, wild turkey, javelina and wild pig.

Closed July 5-Sept. 30 and holidays. From Rio Hondo go 18 miles east on Highway 106, then three miles north on Buena Vista Road.
