Alright, let’s talk about a hidden gem that’s flying under the radar but deserves a front-row seat in your weekend plans: Green Jay Disc Golf Course in McAllen. Whether you're a disc golf pro or someone who throws like a caffeinated goose, this place is the spot to kick back, chuck some discs, and enjoy that warm South Texas sunshine. 

🌞 What’s the Hype About Green Jay?

So, here’s the deal — Green Jay isn't just a disc golf course. It's a little slice of outdoor heaven that mixes community vibes, nature, and competitive fun.
Here’s what makes it pop:

• 18-hole disc golf course with a killer layout

• 🌳 Shady mesquite trees and a natural vibe throughout the course

• Tight fairways and open bombs – a little something for every player level

• 🐦 Named after the stunning and rare Green Jay bird, which hangs out in the area (no joke — birdwatchers love this place too)

It’s nestled right in McAllen’s northside, inside the McAllen Nature Center, which means you’re surrounded by wildflowers, butterflies, and yes, the occasional road runner darting by while you’re trying to make that birdie. 

🌼 Easy to Get To, Hard to Leave

You’ll find Green Jay just off N 23rd St, only minutes from central McAllen and major roads like W Trenton Rd and Nolana Loop. You can swing by for a quick round or make a whole day of it — there’s ample parking, shaded seating spots, and it’s close to some fantastic local eats.

Hungry after your round? Head just a few blocks south and check out:

• 🍗 The Blue Onion – Casual, funky, Mediterranean/Tex-Mex fusion with killer wraps and smoothies.

• Mama’s Pizzeria – Down-home, family-style pizza joint with hand-tossed crusts and saucy vibes.

• ☕ MoonBeans Coffee – The go-to post-round chill zone for iced lattes and fresh-baked pastries

🧢 Pro Tips from the Locals

Want the full Green Jay experience? Here’s the inside scoop:

• Bring bug spray – The nature vibes are real, and so are the skeeters

• ⛅ Early morning or late afternoon is prime time (unless you’re tryna roast in the midday sun)

• 🥤 Hydrate like a boss – There's minimal water on site, so pack that cooler
