The Club at Las Campanas
Set amid the high desert landscape of Santa Fe, The Club at Las Campanas offers an 18-hole private championship course that blends strategic play with rugged natural beauty. Designed to challenge a range of abilities, the course features desert-style elevation changes and expansive views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Course Overview
Set against the rugged high desert terrain of Santa Fe, New Mexico, The Club at Las Campanas offers an 18-hole championship golf experience that balances natural beauty with thoughtful design. This private club features two distinctive courses, but it is the hilly, desert-style layout that defines the setting here, where wide fairways unfold amid native grasses, rock formations, and towering piñon pines. The elevation gain and loss throughout the round create a dynamic test, inviting strategic shot-making and thoughtful club selection.
The Las Campanas courses take full advantage of the region’s dry climate and expansive views that stretch across the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. While the courses demand accuracy and command respect from more skilled players, their design also accommodates golfers at various levels. Generous landing areas provide forgiving approach zones, while greens present subtle breaks that reward attentive putting without overwhelming the player.
A walk around the course offers a sensory connection to the desert environment: the crunch of native soils underfoot, the scent of juniper in the air, and the whisper of winds that test rhythm and tempo. Amid this rugged landscape, well-maintained tee boxes and fairways create a polished playing surface, presenting a contrast to the natural surroundings that enhances focus on each shot.
The Club at Las Campanas also showcases a clubhouse that blends Southwestern architecture with modern amenities, including upscale dining overseen by Chef Jake Judd. Members and guests enjoy attentive service and spaces designed to relax after the round, including a fitness center and outdoor pool.
Golfers planning a visit will find that walking is not only encouraged but rewarding, thanks to the thoughtful routing, changes in elevation, and well-placed resting spots. The combination of scenic vistas, playability for all skill levels, and attentive club facilities makes Las Campanas a distinguished stop for those seeking a private high-desert golf challenge within easy reach of Santa Fe.
Course Highlights
The course stands out for its desert-style layout that integrates natural landforms with carefully positioned hazards and elevated greens. Signature holes challenge players with changing wind conditions and the ever-present backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The clubhouse complements the golf experience with top-tier dining by Chef Jake Judd and modern fitness facilities.

Enjoyed my time here (stayed with family for about a week). The grounds keeping services are always around and about, and the member services at the grounds were all clearly top notch. The gym: good experience here, kind of sad at the lack of towels available. The locker rooms were great although some of the members are animals and don't understand that not everyone wants to see your junk flopping around. Pool: was good, not enough beach chairs, we had a large family get together with little ones and of course, since we're on a mountain in the warm weather, the sun was extreme. The restaurant: incredible, the wine list was exhaustive, the service was Michelin level, the food was perfectly cooked, and the wait staff was incredible. The courses / routes: all terrific!

I can tell you working in business for years Las Campanas has more CEO's and Chairman's of the Board of Fortune 500 companies than any other place I have experienced. The staff do a great job. Norma and Al are fantastic.

I wanted to share what joy Chef Jake brings to Las Campanas. I had one of the best lunches ever at the Clubhouse. A simple soup (French Onion) and salad (green apple, blue cheese and other magic) was beyond delicious! My dad lives there and sends my sis and I all these wonderful menus for different themed meals and holiday events, oh man do I wish I lived there too! Thank you LC and Chef Jake for making my dad so happy!
