Great course

I'm a brand new golfer, so my perspective should be considered when reading this review. It's a par 3 and although the distance to the green isn't far (I'm told), it was challenging enough. Lots of sand traps, water hazards and interesting terrain. I love the scenery, the ducks, and the layout. Highly recommend this course!

Challenging par 3

A Par 3 9 hole course you can play in less than 2 hours, but plays like a champion#hip course.

Always a great round at White Sands!

I really enjoy the diversity of holes for a Par 3 location.

Challenge

This is a well manicured course. Although a par 3 course, it is quite challenging. Staff very friendly and helpful.
