Butterfield Trail Golf Club

18 months ago this was the best course in the El Paso area. It is now the second worst course in the El Paso area. The only course worse is Fort Bliss and they lost their wells for two years. The fairways are dry and burnt. Over half of the greens have huge spots that are dead. Their is trash all along the cart paths. The staff will tell you that they are intentionally narrowing and shortening the play of the fairways. In doing so they have killed most of the grass leaving short hard burnt fairways. The clubhouse has been closed for most of the past year and now that it is open they cannot keep help so their food is none existent. The pace of play is horrible on the weekends with little or no one pushing golfers. Go elsewhere to golf.

The golf course would be nice to play as the landscaping and maintenance it good. And I imagine it on weekdays its a joy. Weekends however, due to very narrow Teetimes, and no control when people play, we had extremely unpleasant waiting times at each Hole. We only played 8 holes instead of 18 holes due to long waiting time (and the closing of the club).
Talking to the mangers about that has even been more unpleasant. We definitely will not go back there on Weekends or Holidays.

Fun! That's the best word I can use to describe this course. This course demands accuracy off of the tee and shot shaping into the greens. The greens were rolling wonderfully! The only reason for the "good" rating on course conditions was a few dead spots that they appear to be working on correcting.

This course is truly a diamond in the rough at El Paso! Such a surprise to play a desert style course in such wonderful condition! I will be back!

fairways were in winter conditions. Greens were in very good condition and putted true. Course is very playable with some challenging holes. I played from the silver tees. Wind definitely plays a factor on many holes when it is blowing. It was blowing 15-20 mph today. Would like to see the course during the summer once it greens up.

It was a very frustrating round. No one cared about the pace of play. Usually after the back 9 the pace picks up(when people quit because it is this slow) but now, come 13th we were two groups on the tee, one on the fairway and one on the putting green. Called and asked for a marshall. Never showed up, fairly disappointed

This a great course that challenges you on all shots!

Course was wide open, no starter, hole signage was scant got confused about where to go. All in all not to bad. I would play here again if I lived here.

You need to put this course on your must play list!

Great fun course - you think you hit a great drive - and you find it in waste bunker - this course keeps you thinking - we really enjoyed it.

Was disappointed at price. I reserved tee time and price online. When I arrived to play I was charged almost $10 more than reservation. When I brought it up attendant he didn’t have a response.

Course conditions not what they used to be a couple of years ago. It feels overpriced now because the course is in mediocre shape.

This was my 3rd time playing here, and each time has been great. Make sure to select the proper tee-box for your handicap. Yardage book was very helpful. Even in January the course was great (weather was perfect: 64 degrees and no wind). Greens were in excellent shape. Clubhouse was friendly, and grill had excellent food and service.
