What a hidden Jem
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.

I Recommend This Course
The course was much more than we expected.
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.
