Lovely mountain course

Pendaries is a great mountain course. The greens are difficult and in great shape. There are a few places in the fairways that are dry and grass is sparse.

back after two years

Played this course two years ago and fairways and greens were in great shape. The fairways looked a little beat up this year and some of the greens had some die off places. Still enjoyed the play and well worth the trip and fee. Staff was very nice.

Fun mountain golf

Pendaries is always a fun day trip from Angel Fire to play mountain golf. This year the lack of rain has been hard on the fairways and the grass is sparse. With more rain in July those conditions should improve. Greens except for one of them were in good shape. Friendly staff and local people. Beautiful drive over and back.

Food expensive

Charging for lettuce tomatoes and pickles on a burger was outrageous. Staff was friendly but overpriced food.

Desperate Situation

Course is a good layout for a mountain course. However, due to the drought and apparently no irrigation system, the course is in terrible condition — essentially dead fairways, and 16 of 18 greens are a disaster. Despite that they maintain a green fee in the $60 range.I paid half that on a GolfNow Hot Deal, and it was barely worth that. I probably won’t be back till they either get rain or do something about irrigating the place

Good course, fun layout, but drought conditions mitigate some of the fun. Would love to play again after a couple of weeks of rain.

Fun course

This course is a great layout and fun to play. Fairways are really thin but should improve in weeks ahead. Greens have not recovered from winter and are pretty spotty with the exception of a couple of greens. However, the greens and fairways were well mown. Staff was friendly and we enjoyed a burger and beer on the deck following our round.

Greens are unplayable

Greens are unplayable. Greens are an inch thick with sand and deep cuts . Not worth the money yet, greens should improve in a month.

Very disappointing

We drove 120 miles each way to play a soggy course with tiny, hard to hold, beat up greens. The only reason I gave it as good a rating as I did is that is was cheap to play - if you shop for a bargain. To me, it's a poorly designed golf course in the "middle of nowhere". If you play there and have low expectations then you will not be disappointed.

Superbly Great!

I actually think that everyone should play this course at least once, even if you are a novice it is simply a great course. I had to take a couple of pauses to intake the most fantastic views of the areas, and also just for relaxation.

Good lay out

A few of the greens need work and the grass in the fairways could be cut shorter other than that it is a fun place to play. Try it I think you will like this golf course.

Hidden Gem

This course is a hidden gem. The lay out is challenging with lots of fun holes. Best time to play this course is durning the week. Weekends tend to get busy.
