Reseeding mess

I was told of the reseeding and wet course when I checked in. If I had been told the night before when I made the reservation, I would not have reserved. We did get about $15 discount because of the reseeding. The course was a mud pit. Many shots stuck immediately. Golf carts were restricted to cart path only. I did not enjoy this round. Rating is for today only, this course is usually a lot better.

Harassment on the course to a veteran

I have never experienced this type of threatening behavior towards a handicapped driver like this. Currently finishing hole #15 and have been angrily approached by marshalls on the course and Mike, in the clubhouse, who said to "You're lucky" menacingly. Will never return to this golf course. Beware the scary staff. The beer cart girl was great however.

What happened?

This is the worst shape this course has been in the past 7 years. Fairways were patchy and muddy. Tee boxes were mostly bad. The greens were not terrible at least.

The new Sonoma Ranch Dog track

I've been playing this course for the past 20 years, even though I haven't played here in the past 6 months. I was shocked to see the course conditions. Worst I've ever seen it.

Every fairway had issues, many water sprinklers broken causing mud or wetland within the fairways.

I hope somebody comes and rescues this course soon, has always been one of my favorite tracks.

Great staff at sanoma. Little bit better coordination of groups and T-times would be great.

Terrible Condition

Today there was a civic fundraiser here for the city of Las Cruces. The course was in absolutely terrible condition and the Pro was indifferent and clearly had better things to do.. Thankfully, the restaurant and its service was very good. The current green fee for this dog track should be $10 WITH cart.

Needs some love

Played this course a couple times this season and the upkeep of the course is mah at best. Greens seemed to not recover from aeration at beginning of season. They are sandy and bumpy. Tee boxes are mix of sand/grass that needs cut. And forget looking for your ball if you happen to hit it in the rough. If you have enough time you might come out of the rough with a couple of balls but chances are they will not be yours. Lots of water logged areas in fairway and puddles in hard packed bunkers. Needs some TLC

Nice golf course, but the greens were a little slow. They were sanded and not completely recovered. The fairways were good plenty of green grass.

Tee boxes are still half grass and half sand.

Better even mowing in the rough especially around the greens

Great Day for golf

The weather was perfect. Took a bunch of first timers so we were playing pretty slow so the course not being very crowded was the best part.

SLOOOOOW

Should have known it was going to be slow when the pro shop and the starter both would not answer a straight question. What is the place of play like? But if they had said 5.5 hours I would have left. The Greens were in great condition and very well maintained. the rest of the course was average. The course just needs some sun and rain. I saw the marshall a half dozen times but who cares if he doesn't do anything about the slow play, just save the gas and find a tree and take a nap.
