Front 9 flat, back 9 some elevation change.

Nice greens and fairways. Sand in bunkers is just dirt.

Very friendly staff.

Range balls are very poor quality and carts are showing age.

Great Course

Great course with a nice lay out. The fairways and greens were in excellent shape. The golf pace was good. The staff was excellent. I left my YETI tumbler by the register and two days later l I noticed it was missing. I call them and they had it put up. Thank you.

Good Spring Time Golf Outing

I really enjoyed playing the Links, it had been a while since playing there but the challenge of the course was still there. During my round, I played with too high handicap players and myself being around 10-12 handicapper and we all seemed to enjoy the course and it was not overly killer on the high handicapper. Tough part is that at this altitude that the ball carries further in Ruidoso, so beware if you are a long hitter of the golfball.

Awesome Memorial Day Weekend of golf

Played The Links in Ruidoso two days in a row. Had 6:50 am and 7:00 am tee times and it was shockingly cold for the end of May. The tee boxes were actually crunchy with frost for the first few holes; however, the sun was gorgeous, not a cloud in the sky, and no wind until I was finishing my round.

I absolutely love this links style course. The fairways are very wide for the most part, so if you can hit the ball straight, you've got it made. The bunkers are a serious challenge. Had to "chip" one ball on the side of a hill that was practically eye level (used a quasi-baseball swing, and it worked). If you're in Ruidoso, definitely try this course.

Lots of golfing fun for the money

Bucket hatted Jim Colbert design that staff has maintained very well. Smooth greens, traps good. Fall brings pine needles; so what, staff does a good job of clearing.

Cool, rainy day

It was a rainy day. The course drained exceptionally well. The greens were fast and true even though they were wet. The first nine is links style while the back half is in the trees. Considering the other courses in the area this in my opinion is the best for the value.

Labor Day Weekend

The course was in fabulous condition, the tee boxes, the fairways and the greens! It was Labor Day Weekend, so the course was packed. We were a twosome behind numerous foursomes, so it was fairly slow for us, since were are both less than bogey golfers. It's a great course that I play a couple of times a year. It's in the best condition that I have ever seen it in at least five years. We had a great time.

Great course

great course with challenging holes. Greens were fast & in great shape. Superintendent & crew do an excellent job of maintaining the course. The marshals do a great job of keeping play at a steady pace. I am 68 and played it from the championship tees which was a great challenge. I would recommend this course to everyone!!

Top notch course

This course is very well taken care of and it played beautifully. At first the pace of play was slow but after a couple of holes the course control got everything moving at a good speed. I was disappointed in their selection of beers but otherwise satisfied. I will definitely be going back to this course in the near future! Loved this course!
