Not worth it if it was FREE!

Course is beyond rough! No real grass, just matted down weeds and random shrubs among a sea of dried mud patches. No way to get under the ball to hit it. Same as chipping off concrete. Bunkers are as hard as concrete and full of weeds and shrubs. they are not maintained at all and impossible to hit out. Greens have cancer throughout and random 2x2 foot patches of cut out muddy areas and uneven patches of turf. Absolutely the worst course I have played on in the last 2 years. Don't waste your time!

Worst Golf Course in El Paso

Where do you start when there’s so many issues?! Greens are horrendous! Sand craters everywhere on the greens. And because of the craters, greens are not being maintained/cut. Course looks like they’re about to go out of business. Bev Cart personnel need to work on customer service and proper responses when dealing with the public. All this said, yes, they’re still charging full price. Yep you heard me correctly, full price for this sand box course. As a member, I would be embarrassed…and frankly, upset! Go anywhere else in El Paso, I promise you it will be better than this course.

Greens were rough

The course was ok, it was a good challenge but the greens were rough, lots of dead and patchy spots. Tough to putt on for sure. Over all it was a fun day and the weather was just perfect, the fairways were good and everything was soft after the heavy rain. 3 out of 5

Interesting course

An easily accessible public course.

Greens are mostly good with a few areas with bald patches.

Rough is largely sandy waste land.

Fairways are pretty good.

The layout is interesting with some fun holes.

Generally quite good. .

Not Playable Condition

The course is just not playable, the greens are poorly taken care of…the front 9 is not playable at all. The sand traps are rock hard like hitting off cement roads.

Getting better

The course is getting better as the water is flowing. The bunkers still have a lot of work to be done to as they are hard as a rock with no sand in them. The greens are green but do not hold a ball no matter how much spin you put on the ball.

Bad shape

Course is in bad shape. Had to wait multiple times for staff to help me with range balls and buying stuff in the shop. Greens had massive holes in them and none of them were smooth. Fairways almost nonexistent and extremely uneven and bumpy everywhere. Landing in the fairway was basically landing in a bumpy dirt pile. Bunkers hard as a rock with no sand in them.

Beautiful day for golf

We teed off at 12:30 in the afternoon and we let several single players through as we weren’t in any hurry.

The course is coming along since I played last month the grass is finally getting green- just needs more water. The greens are better as well and filling out- not so bumpy now from the punching and sand top dressing. Should be real nice the first week of May.

Greens in need of repair

Not sure what the issue is but several of the greens are in dire need of repair. I played the same day they were hosting a kids tournament so I thought they would have prepped the course but I was mistaken.
