Poor service, rushed gameplay, no amenities

Second time playing at this course. Marshals were super pushy with gameplay, attendants were unfriendly. Seems as though they squeeze in way too many tee times. Cashier seemed to be bothered with patrons despite slow weekday. No drink cart girls or service at all for 18 holes. Course layout is great but given the location in the middle of the desert, be prepared to lose sleeves of balls all over the course due to all the cacti, foliage and shrubs with thorns. Would not recommend this course AT ALL. Go to Horizon instead and have a great time there.

Working hard

The biggest upset with butterfield is the greens are bad. But since this my home course I get to witness how hard they work trying to restore the greens. Im here weekly and watching them work daily on it. Beautiful course and they are doing a great job. Perfect for the money.

Cancelled My GolfNow Reservation for Private Event

You would think they would block out times in advance. I didn’t even get a message from the club. GolfNow sent me the message. The course conditions have been marginal for years. Just thought I’d give it a try. Never again

Best challenging desert course in the El Paso/ Las Cruces area

The Tim Fazio designed golf course is still the most challenging course in El Paso. Most greens had good ball rolling conditions. #4 had temp that was fast. Couple of greens had bare spots but nothing crazy. All fairways were in good condition. The course is still beautiful. I haven’t play it in a long time. For course owners please focus on the natural sand traps that made this course immaculate when it opened. Clean up the desert valleys like Par 3 #9. Highly recommend a round for all visitors. Great location near airport and Fort Bliss. Awesome views of desert and El Paso’s Franklin Mountains.

Good Value, Good Challenge

The value for a round of golf, cart, and range balls was a nice surprise under $50. Played first rd in about 3 1/2 hrs. Also surprising. Decided to replay another 18. Round took about an hour longer, but still reasonable. The course was only in average condition, fairways were mostly ok, but the greens left a lot to be desired. I would say it would be somewhat ok for the fairways to be a bit lacking but not the green complexes. I would still recommend and play again.

Horrible course conditions

This is the worst course condition I have ever seen in my 50 plus years of playing golf all over.

Greens had actual holes, patched spots, bare spots or sand cover and it was all 18 greens

Fairways had fertilizer Rocks everywhere, they must have used old fertilizer that had gotten wet and tired to use sledgehammer to break it up.

It is a absolute shame that Spirit Mgmt group is just ruining a Tom Fazio great layout

Stay away

Worst Course to Play

Don't waste your money or time to play this course.

It has gone down hill from even last year and we've had more rain

Greens. Not one didnt have actual holes, bear spots, patched spots and you could putt 10ft without some obstacles

Fairways are greener because of the rain but they tired to fertilize with old granules that won't dissolve so you have rocks about the size of marbles everywhere and you can slip on these, you can't break them up, we tried

Sandtraps are concrete not been rototilled racks don't penetrate the so called sand

Tee boxes are I must say are good, because of the rain El Paso has had

We got a discount to play their and all I would say, they can't pay me enough to play this course again even it was a $1000 Dollars

They layout is georgous and Tom Fazio would be shocked and get sick to see what this Mgmt team has done to kill it
