Rockwinds

Nice course , greens are usually fast , but they have recently been aerated , pace of play is slower on the week ends , this course is set up nice and designed by Fred Couples , I would recommend this course to anyone , probably the nicest course in South Eastern New Mexico ... I’ve played it many times over the past few years during work I had in the area ... G

Great time

This course is awesome. Been playing here for two years now. The staff is very nice and the course is fun to play. Golf carts are new, full bar, great food and they have a full par 3 18 hole if you’re not in the mood to play a full 18 course. They close Tuesday’s for maintenance.

Great course

Played an afternoon round on a Sunday and finished in three hours. Greens and fairways were amazing. Really fun track too, Par 5’s were gettable, but most of the greens were difficult if you were on the wrong side of the hole. Overall very fun round.

Only negative was the geofence for the carts kept beeping at us all round even when we were on cart paths.

Rockwind

Course was in ok condition. Almost every hole had ground under repair area. Greens were very nice and consistent. Bunkers were lacking sand. Kinda bare. Thick ruff. Missed fairway can result in rocky lie. Lot of rocks. Cart paths are just around the tees and around the greens. Awesome GPS in every cart.

Good course, fairways and rough in iffy shape

I remember when I first played this course 2 or 3 years ago when it had just opened, and it was in such better shape then. Rough was pretty long and there were a lot more of the waste bunkers. Also, fairways were in good shape. So many dead spots. But it’s a good course, it’s got bluegrass, just hard to keep. It’s a tough layout, especially the greens, which really can just be too ridiculous at times. I hope it gets to be in better shape. I know even Rawls has these troubles.

It did suck that my group got to the back 9 and were welcomed with 3 groups that were told to start off on the back nine.

Oasis

In the middle of the eastern New Mexico desert, Rockwind is a golf oasis -- great fairways and greens. It's not an easy course, especially if you haven't played it before because there are several holes where course knowledge is essential. Overall, it's one of the best public courses you're going to find.

My husband and I have played this course before. The staff is very friendly, we have a son with special needs who likes to ride in the golf cart with us and they were very understanding and helpful. The course was in very good shape and the greens were easy to read and rolled true. We found a hot deal on golf now and my husband and I played for $25.00 together. Our overall course experience was very good and will be back to play again. I rated the course good just because there were a couple of holes where we didn't know how the hole was laid out.

ONE LOOOOOOONG ROUND

Drove up for the day with a group of buddies from Odessa (hour and half drive). Clubhouse was very nice, large pro shop with good selection of gear. Driving range and practice facilities were nice, good grass, typical yellow practice balls. Overall the course was fun to play, quite difficult, fast greens with lots of slop and undulation, miss the fairway you had some trouble, waste areas need the most work on the course. The biggest drawback from our experience was the 5 HOURS & 42 MINUTES it took to play the course!!! It took the marshal 13 holes to finally get around to telling the two slow groups in front of us ( who were holding the entire course up). Which by then did no good. I hope they get their pace of play down to something more manageable like four and half hours max. Overall a great tract but with the pace of play myself and my golf group do not have plans on making it back anytime soon.

Awesome

This was a course I had been hearing about and was excited to finally play. There's no course around SE New Mexico/ West Texas that compares! Neat and unexpected layout (for this area especially). Good pace of play, great condition. Hobbs residents have a special course in Rockwind.
