Turtleback Mountain Golf & Resort

Well organized, knowledge of course play and etiquette

Course was in great shape for early spring. Nice challenging layout. Some elevated tee boxes. Fun course at a great price.

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.

Fairway were a little spotting but just coming out of winter. Greens were just aireated so little bumpy.

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.

Potentially the best course in NM. Please take better care of course.

This was our 3rd year traveling from Southern AZ to Sierra Del Rio to play golf during our overseed season. Always a fun time, great staff, and great club house. The greens were great and fairways a work in progress. New owners and course superintendent hopefully will get it back to it's prior glory!! Still, a great track. We truly enjoyed our outing and will be back! Camped in our RVs at Elephant Butte State Park which is alway top notch and inexpensive!

The course needs lots of work. Tee boxes were OK, fairways seemed to be riddled with diseases and the sand traps had no sand.

Fun and challenging course.

Staff were very friendly and helpful

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.
