Great scenery, beautiful greens, good fairways, a few questionable tree placements

I played the course today and enjoyed the scenery, the course, and the conditions. The greens were wonderful and rolled true. Reading the mountain greens is another story - very challenging. Two or three times the putts broke the opposite of what I read. Fault mine, of course - but a made a few as well. The fairways were in good condition in most places. Some drought damages spots, but not bad anywhere.

I played the white tees - still recovering from shoulder surgery - and a few times there didn't seem to be a landing place off the tees - hitting drives 250 to 275.

I didn't care for the tree placement in the middle of some fairways. Sure some can be strategic, but for me - too many. Hole 14 (a par 5) in particular has a huge tree right in middle of the fairway about 50-60 yards from the green. I had played a second shot to about 100 yards out around a blind dogleg, but had to punch a driver as an approach shot from the right side of the fairway. I had to play under the tree.

Beautiful course

This is a well manicured and stunningly beautiful course with lots of wonderful scenery and wildlife to see.

The only reason it didn't get 5* for everything is the slow play. Also, they allow 5 balls out which slows the round down considerably.

Fun course to play

Overall I had an excellent experience. Greens and shots off the tee were challenging. The course is really pretty. My only complaint was that the bunkers need to be repaired. The edges were not well defined.

Mountain beautiful

One of my favorite mountain resort courses.
A great layout and beautifully maintained.
A championship course with no senior tees.
So play the forward tees if like me your long game has become a little shorter.
Simply beautiful views. Greens challenging.
Great layout.
One will never be bored.
Great stay and play rates.
One of New Mexico's best.
Enjoy golf.

Beauty & The Beast

Nothing but praise for a beautiful, quiet, very well cared for, challenging track! With the exception of a driving range that would allow all clubs to be used, this is a gem!!

Great layout and beautiful scenery. Pro shop staff was great and accommodating. Marshall and beverage cart very friendly as well. Area could use a little rain and some areas were showing a little stress from the heat. Great round and afternoon overall.

Beautiful but tough

I play a lot of golf and have a 12 handicap. This course plays long even at altitude because of green elevations. Greens are not easy to read and I misread a lot of putts. I played by myself and would have benefitted from playing with someone who understood landing zones as I was often on wrong side of fairway on blind tee shots. Would definitely play again. This time of year easy to get on and never waited, also some good specials. Greens were two weeks post aeration so still a little bumpy.
