This is easily the most well-kept course in the Metro area. From the moment you arrive, the service is outstanding. You're greeted, someone puts your clubs on a cart and drives them around while you pay. Upon exiting the pro-shop, you're met with your clubs and are ready for a fantastic golfing experience. I can't say enough good things about this course!

First time playing there and I loved the layout of the course. I would recommend it if you haven’t played. Very forgiving and is in great shape right now. Played on 4/11/25. Staff in the bar were very rude but the golf was great! Staff in the pro-shop were fantastic.

Was fortunate to get to play this course last weekend and even through the heavy rains the course still played great. This was a very forgiving course that I felt played more like a resort course than anything else, which I really enjoyed for this round. Only downside for the day was it needed to be played cart path only but I think that rarely happens. Looking forward to playing here again!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! My husband and son reserved a 9am tee time and I took a seat at their Sandia Grille with my book, since they were playing 18. View was breathtaking, it was empty when I arrived but Arianna immediately came over to greet me and take my order. Per her recommendation I had the vanilla cream cappuccino absolutely delish. I was there for quite a bit and she was so attentive even when it got busier. My husband said the grounds were so well taken care of. All personnel they came in contact with were so polite and friendly. A definite repeat stop on our travels to Albuquerque.
