Great greens. They run true. Challenging, can't just grip and rip. Must use course management to score good

Booked a Hot Time on Golf Now. We had the course to ourselves. The area is dry and the course was in great need of water. But, fairways were pretty good shape. Greens were a little sandy and bumpy, but, overall good shape!

Bad staff, great course
Don't leave your range finder in their carts. If you cannot specifically identify it, the pro shop will not return it to you. Whoever maintains the course does a great job; it's fun to play. The pro shop staff, not so much.

Nice spot
Weather was outrageous, but it’s such a neat course, made up for the unpredictable NM weather. For this time of year the course was adequately maintained, some rough spots. Overall enjoyed the round. Lunch was great too.
