Sierra del Rio Golf Course

Early in the season so the overall conditions were only average, greens very fast and smooth. Typical desert golf course layout, if you stray a little off course you are in the junk. Fairways a few were wide but majority were semi tight. Had marshal talk to the guys I was playing with and told them we were two holes behind? We teed off about a half hour after the group in front of us, we caught them on the last hole and played in under 4 hours, had a chuckle at the time since group behind us were at least a hole behind us, never saw them. Good test if your in the area.

The course is a hidden gem, meal options are only gripes. It's limitations impact the experience, however, it is understood with new issues our world faces. I enjoy the staff and fair rates, coming back for sure.

I would not go out of my way to play this course as it is such a long way away from the major cities. If you happen to be in the area and get a good rate it is a palatable option. From beginning to end analysis. Check in was easy and friendly and helpful staff. Driving range poorly kept. Tee areas OK. Playable with adequate different boxes for every level. Fairways tight and dried out. Area around green just enough consistent grass to be able to chip. Barely. Greens fast and true with a few dead spots here and there.

A real gem of a course. Beautifully laid out hugging the contours of the terrain. A fun challenging course for the average golfer.

Fun and challenging course.

Staff were very friendly and helpful

I drove about 2 hours to this course. It was recommended from a friend. Well worth the trip. Stay on the fairways and you be be rewarded. A good balance of tough holes, and easy approach holes. I will definitely return.

Excellent layout with memorable holes (#s 3, 10, 14,, 15, and 16 come to mind). Tee boxes and fairways were super; greens were slow and bumpy (they had just been punched). However, sand traps were a disaster. If you are not going to maintain them, get rid of them!

Good layout with concrete cart paths and clearly marked tee boxes, great desert view on several holes and I happened to play well today so really enjoyed it. I recommend it!

Sierra Del Rio was on my list of courses to play when I was planning this golf trip to New Mexico. It was a good choice.

Dave in the pro shop had me in a cart & out to the first tee in a timely fashion.

There is a nice variety of holes here, a couple of risk reward holes that are going to tempt your confidence, a few elevation changes that allow you grip it and rip it, doglegs left and right, generous fairways, the bunkers are well placed but some were in need of a little attention. The greens were holding approaches nicely, putts rolled consistent and good reads are rewarded. Holes 14, 15, 16 and 17 are standouts.

Off season conditioning was expected but it didn't affect my play or my impression of the course. Visitors would have little reason to be disappointed playing Sierra Del Rio.

An inviting clubhouse, good menu, huge patio and well stocked pro shop to round things out.

An Oasis in the desert. A must play when in New Mexico.

Sierra Del Rio was a great track from tee to green, solid fairways and awesome greens that held and read true for putts, will be back to this course

The staff was very friendly and the coarse was in excellent condition... and very challenging from the blues. I will play here again!
Ps bring plenty of ball as it's very tight

Friends and I played, had a great time. The course is in great shape - kudos to the staff. Beautiful setting, property worth checking out. Enjoyed - highly recommend checking this place out.

Have played this course quite a few times and it's always in great shape. We played 18 in 3 1/2 hours and the greens were in great shape. It truly is one of the best courses in New Mexico.

Very nice round with the exception of them letting 2 slow foursomes tee off on the back nine right in front of us when the course was nearly empty.

Course is challenging. Greens and fairways were in great shape. Staff was exceptionally helpful. 30 bucks on a weekend through golf now; what a steal.

This golf coarse has every challenge, all the views and will test your abilities no matter what your handicap is. Your expectations will be fulfilled, and you will return with friends. It is a beautiful well maintained and well thought out coarse.

My wife and I played the first week of November, 2012, and the weather was great. The trees in the valley were changing color, which added to the experience. The course was very well maintained, with the fairways and greens being in great shape. You had to hit the fairway to have any chance to make par, as you were in the desert otherwise. The architect took great advantage of the terrain with holes both up and down hill, and around the corner on one. We have added it to our list of places to play when we are in New Mexico.
