Swing for the fences

It's a long course with alpine-lined fairways and extremely fast greens. Play below the hole, you'll thank me later. Enjoy the scenery and have fun!

IotMG

Found an incredible rate on golfnow.com and it made the trip that much better. About a 10-12 at my local course and I played the blue tees. Should have moved up to the white tees. I regularly hit drives of 280+ and was still a long way from the green on the par 5s. Second time playing and I shot a 95. Nice greens and fairways.

Very Good Mountain Golf

We caught the course, and the weather in excellent shape. Although it was somewhat cloudy, and a little windy, the temperature was a mild 70 degrees,(good for late September) and the golf was good. Recent rains left the course in very good condition. The rough was a little high, and you needed to keep the ball in the fairway in order to score. The greens were fast and true. Whit tees are recommended, unless you are a low handicapper, and hit a long ball. GPS on the golf cart helps a lot on shots to the green.

Majestic Course in the Mountains

Inn of the Mountain Gods takes golf to a new level. There is nothing more beautiful than playing golf in a spectacularly pristine environment. I can't say there is anything easy about this course. Fast greens and tough tee shots. Course was immaculate.

Mountain Paradise

Hole for hole might be the most beautiful and challenging golf course in the southwestern United States. Course is in great shape. Hole # 8 is one of the best par three's holes you will play anywhere.

It is a good course but the staff is not focused on the customer experience. Don't expect to finish in 4 hours.

Very nice course, very rude staff.

This course is very pretty and the condition of the course was very good. I would have given the condition of the course an "excellent" rating if it were not for the poor conditions of the tee boxes. This course is very expensive to play at. Overly expensive in my opinion. The course is wonderful, but not $135.00 weekend rate wonderful. I mean, I've played at ocean side golf courses in Hawai'i for about the same cost - courses that put IOTMG to shame. For that price, you're much better off going to Rainmakers (private club/must have reciprocal from your own private club) which is a MUCH more exciting and amazing golf course.

The staff at Inn of the Mountain Gods is terrible. Very rude and unaccommodating. When you're paying $135.00 dollars to play at below excellent course you'd expect a little more from the staff. Maybe even just a smile?

Play this course if you have the disposable money and the time, otherwise try to get booked over at Rainmaker's. A MUCH better value.

Also, the food at this resort was gross and overpriced.

Great course, challenging and beautiful scenery

I rated the overall experience as GOOD, only because they let TOO many 5-somes play. We had 2 - 5somes directly ahead of us and they were SLOW. It took 2.5 hours to play the front nine, then when we finally made the turn, we had to wait again. We got to 12 after additional 1 hour and then the rains hit and we were pulled off the course for a 1 hour delay. At that point I had been there for 4 hours already and didn't want to continue. On the way in we noticed at several more 5-somes.

I would not recommend this place for someone with a handicap. I drove 12 hours to play the course. They said i had to stay on the cart path because the fairways was to wet. But all day they was mowing and big tractor was all over the farways. They more or less said they didn"t what handcap people. This is the worst golf course i have ever been to. I would not recommend it to no one.
