City of Corpus Christi’s Post

The City of Corpus Christi is pleased to announce the completion of its newly redesigned 9-hole golf course, The Firefly. Named for its unique illuminated golf experience, The Firefly provides an enchanting opportunity to enjoy the game after dark. The Lozano Golf Center now proudly stands as the first and only facility to offer night golf within the Coastal Bend Region. This project includes significant enhancements such as an expansive 11,000-square-foot practice green featuring 50 hitting stations, allowing for increased capacity. Additionally, the upgrades introduce a new "short game" practice area equipped with chipping greens and bunkers, along with clearly defined target greens and fairways on the practice range floor. These improvements are set to increase play and establish Corpus Christi as a premier sports destination. We invite the community to enjoy the extended hours at the golf course, now open until midnight every day, even on weekends. Come and explore the thrill of night golf and witness the fantastic new enhancements at The Lozano Golf Center. #CorpusChristi
