Not worth what they charge.
We were excited to play this course in the mountains.
At $125 for two people for 18, we expected it to be a good short course.
Wrong. Not kept up well. Fairways are a cow pasture full of dandelions. The greens are worse. Very little grass. A lot of sand. You couldnt "putt" if youre life depended on it.
To be fair, there were 2 greens that had a legitimate putting surface on half the green.
Cute concept. Very under maintenanced. You cannot charge $60 for 18 holes and provide that kind of a track. I have played local municipal courses at the same level for $26-32 for 18. You know what you are getting. This was crazy over priced. If it had been $35 for 18 I would have said "you get what you pay for". In this case it is a D+ at best. Horrible value for money. Cute concept. Poor execution. Sorry.
To be
Great layout
Course was amazing, a but chilly early morning. Elk a d deer on two different holes. Number 5 is a completely blind shot possibly able to reach the green. Cart path only the entire course, greens are a bit rough. They are definitely coming around. Very fun layout. 6 par threes 4 reachable par 4s . Have a drink at the lodge hotel right after Thursdays is half off drinks.
Beautiful mountain course
This course is challenging due to being on a mountain. Wildlife is abundant. Great time every time we play here.
Great Course — Fun to Play
I always play this course when in Cloudcroft. It’s challenging and one of the most beautiful courses out there. It is in excellent shape! Played well and look forward to being back soon.
Great 9 holes
This course in 9 hole, but you play twice for 18 with different tee and hole locations. The course is cart path only. The fairways at good and the greens are very good. You will do a lot of walking up and down hills.
Great Day at the Lodge!
Course is in the best shape I’ve ever seen it and I’ve been coming here for years. Thoroughly enjoyable!
Great day at the Lodge!
Great round of golf. Never seen the course look this good. Plays well!
Fun little course
Great elevation changes! Fun little course. The mountain looked very dry while we were there so no surprise that the course reflected that too. But green enough to play on. Greens were not in very good shape at all but good enough to play on, especially with the awesome overall beauty of the course and surroundings. Lots of wildlife on the course which was a plus!
Good scenery, meh course
If you value a nice backdrop when you play golf this is your place. The fairways were fine, greens were horrific. Bumpy, dirt, grass slightly shorter than fairway grass. People working were great but this course is not worth the $80 I spent on a Saturday morning. First and last time at this course.
Awesome Challenging Course
Been wanting to play this course for 2 years finally got the chance to do that. Beautiful weather, beautiful course. The staff was very friendly. Looking forward to playing it again
I love this course!
We had a beautiful day golfing. Already looking forward to next time!
Mountain too fun!
This was an unexpected Gem. We were a little leary of it being 9 holes but they had 2 flags on each green for each time you hit to the hole. It was a blast and we will be back again next time we are in Ruidoso
