Albuquerque Country Club

This course has a lot of mature trees. On most holes tee shot placement is critical to avoid large trees impinging on your line of play to the green. Too far left or right (but still in the fairway) and you might have to hit it over or under a tree. Plan accordingly.

Greens look slow but played fast. Most are quite small and some have significant undulations.

Pro shop staff were amazingly accommodating to us - outsiders who won a charity auction for a foursome at the CC. It was a great experience. I wish I could play there again , knowing where to at least attempt to hit my drives.

There are few courses in the Southwest that have been so meticulously reconditioned over the past ten years, than this immaculate track.

I believe each of the greens were re done over the past ten years. The refashioning was superb and spoke more of the club’s drive for improvement of enjoyment of play than of necessity.

There are many fine golfers at all levels here. There is also an unmistakable old Mexico gentility to this club. The array of professionals who are members is impressive. Here , dentist plays alongside Federal Judge and local attorney. The clubhouse is compact and you must play with a member to get on, but that is most graciously arranged through the Pro Shop.

The food is four star and reasonably priced. Also, the course is open for play throughout the year. Best time to play is late October when the searing heat of the summer has passed, and the autumn leaves still cling to the branches.

The features I most enjoy are the tree lined fairways , the pace and verity of the putting services, the placement of sand traps, and the course’s modest length. It is peaceful here and you can walk eighteen in under three hours.

Good condition but goofy design and very flat. Greens don't match old style layout. Lots of trees

Private course and it in excellent condition. Very short and flat but great for walking. Greens are in excellent shape.
