Too fast to play

The pace of play felt rushed continually being run over by other players to the entire 18 holes would not recommend to a beginning due to the speed of the other players running you over felt like I was pretty much running the entire course

Very nice value and conditions for Public Course

Long thick rough, keep it in the fairway ! Very nice condition with lush fairways and rough. I would say it’s a moderately difficult course, especially if you miss the fairways and don’t drive it long. I’m an 8 handicap but only drive it 200-220 yds. So at 6200 yds it plays long for me. With that said shot a nice 78 and definitely enjoyed the course !

Well worth the drive

My friends and I drove two hours from Pagosa Springs, CO to Farmington, NM to play Pinon Hills. It was well worth the drive! The staff were over-the-top friendly and helpful, The pace of play was perfect, and the course was in very nice shape. The price is very fair for a course of this quality. It’s no wonder so many golfers from Pagosa make the drive to Pinon Hills!

A fantastic day!

Our experience @ Pinon Hills was terrific! Randy (in the Pro Shop) was extremely helpful, friendly, and courteous, as well as very professional. Then we met Mark (our starter for the morning) who could not have been more pleasant and helpful! He was so accommodating to a particular need we had, and was one of the friendliest starters I've ever come across. Everyone on the premises was friendly and helpful. It was such a contrast to our home course! We can't wait for the next opportunity to play Pinon Hills. It's a real gem!

Fast Greens!

Greens were pure and fast. Pace of play was perfect this go around. Not fast, not slow. Just enough time for everyone to get in their practice swings and hit, even if you had to hit 1-2 extra shots to get to the green.

Great Course

Great layout, lots of dog leg holes, tiered greens with lots of slope, greens were in excellent condition, rolled true and were challenging. One of the best courses I have played for the green fees. Will play here again, any chance I get

You can't go wrong here.

Every hole has its unique challenge. You must be on the right tier when hitting your approach if you plan on scoring well.

The course will be great when grass comes in

Just recently reopened with new cart oaths, irrigation and revamped sand traps (much needed). When sun comes out and grass takes ahold it will be great. Thanks for removing sage brush too. It does need more rakes for the sand traps, maybe golfers will use them.

Excellent condition - March 26

Pinon is a terrific course, and great condition for March. Early snow left the fairways green and the greens were superb for this time of year. Only complaint was 5 hour round due to slow foursome in front of our twosome.
