Plenty of courses, but I doubt they're inexpensive.

Check the pet policy and or inquire with the campground. Many private parks are pet friendly but have restrictions. Many do not have those restrictions. You can usually find private parks that are pet friendly with multiple pets. The real problem is if you have dogs that are on the hit list. Pits, Dobs and so on.

You will find many exceptions to the 2 dog rule in South Texas, just be sure to ask first.

Many of the fancier parks will have a 2 dog limit and not over 20 pounds. But exceptions are often made.

If you travel the dog show circuit, then you'll probably find RV parks at those locations that accommodate the dog people. Many dog show people travel by RV. At some shows, they have camping right on the premises. When I was in Houston, they had numerous shows and the people came into the RV park like clockwork every few months. It was a bit noisy, but generally tolerated because they were good customers and filled up the park.

Generally golfing is good along the gulf coast and florida and up thru georgia and the carolinas. There is no shortage of good golfing along the coast.

Let's rephrase this. Most RV parks will be upfront on their website about their pet policy concerning number of dogs. Many snowbird destinations will tell you their policy when you make reservations via telephone. It is your responsibility to contact the park before making reservations/arrival to make sure there are no problems.

We travel with three well obedienced shelties. We have found some parks will bend the rules for an extra dog if you are upfront. Just make sure they are under control and quiet when you are away from the RV.

You can find activities to suit both of you in any number of locations. Probably the closest to your location would be the Rio Grands Valley of Texas.
Good luck / Skip
