Red Hawk Golf Club

Great condition except for sand traps - they are in poor shape and don't need to be watered.

This is a solid 4.5 course. Fantastic views, some nice challenges (lots of sand traps and water that comes into play on 4 or 5 holes), very well maintained tee boxes, fairways; and exceptionally pleasant staff. Lots and lots of rolling hills. If you can find a flat spot on the fairways or greens, let me know! The only negative is that some of the fairways were water-soaked and some of the sand traps had standing water. Highly recommended - particularly after playing a round at the less than stellar NMSU yesterday - if you find yourself in Las Cruces.

Only thing is the sand bunkers usually are little wetter than most places due to the watering of fairways and greens

I have a full review of Red Hawk planned with photos, maybe a video, but I just want to say that I gave a "3" for conditions because the conditions the previous two times I played were much better than this time around. The course was quite wet in a number of places and I'm not sure why. Irrigation issues perhaps? They did have a repair crew at the lake on the 1st tee and one of the workers said that there was an issue, but I really don't know. I should have asked. Anyway, generally, Red Hawk is the best golf course and overall golf facility I've been to in New Mexico. The closest to the country clubs I've gotten used to in FL. In all fairness, Sierra del Rio is a nice facility as well, but I've got to return to that course to do a proper comparison. Maybe that's the review I'll do: a comparison between Red Hawk and Sierra del Rio.

Best condition and design in Las Cruces area.

Only thing lacking is the better clubhouse building

Best course in terms of condition and pace of play

Challenging but fair. Position is key especially on greens. Ample fairways but hit the right spot…. Layout and sculpting is beautiful. Play it before all the homes come in and on a calm day if possible. Some truly memorable holes and kept in very good shape. Great service and food at bar/restaurant afterward.

1st time playing Red Hawk. Very challenging course, but the different sets of Tee Boxes make it playable for intermediate level players. Well maintained fairways, fast greens, deep bunkers. Beautiful views from all over the course of nearby mountains and desert. Staff was friendly. Be prepared for windy conditions. Most of back nine plays into the prevailing winds.

This is my favorite course to play. El Paso courses have gone downhill and this course is the golf standard. I wish that I lived closer so that I could play or practice here every day.
