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
Great course
First time playing and was greeted by deer. Beautiful course
A true gem
Great little course. Staff is awesome. Wildlife galore!
Best golf in Lincoln/Otero Counties
Nine hole course that is fun to play. The tee boxes are flat and well maintained as are the greens. The fairways are okay, not the best and you will have to move your ball occasionally. The maintenance crews are constantly working the course. The staff is outstanding. On this particular outing, I messed up my reservation on Golfnow and Rose handled the problem with no issues and I still got my original tee time. If you want to have a good time with no stress I highly recommend the Lodge.
Awesome
The weather is the most perfect, friendly people great course and fun wildlife .
Great fun course just know it’s nine holes so be patient and have fun it’s a great experience
Beautiful course, sketchy greens.
This picturesque course is fun to play, but not worth the full price they normally charge. They overbook, so be prepared to wait. A lot. The tee boxes and fairways are in great shape. The greens, not so much.
Lodge golf
The golf course is in good shape despite the lack of rain. The course maintenance crews are always working on it and they are so friendly and courteous. The office staff is just as friendly. The fairways and greens are not pristine but the staff and the beautiful views make it worthwhile. It’s an say drive from Ruidoso and worth every penny.
The Lodge Golf Course Cloudcroft
There are so many things to like about the Lodge Golf Course. It’s a nine hole course with two flags on the greens for 18 hole play. The greens are decent and the fairways are okay. The temperature is perfect and the 8k foot elevation really adds distance to your shots. Makes you feel like a kid again. The clubhouse is decent and the employees are the absolute best. They are friendly, cooperative and will do anything to make your round a great memory. The pace is good too. The only hole where you may need to wait is hole 5 which is an over the hill blind shot.
