Front 9 closed

Front nine closed for maintenance. Played back 9 twice which slowed play. Would have been nice to know before being committed to this course.

Nice Public Course in Ruidoso

Such friendly staff from check in to the starter, ranger and beverage cart lady! Totally enjoyed the front 9 with less than two hours to play, but a slow foursome with too many beverages held up the entire back 9. The ranger did say something once, but it did not improve. Still had a lot of fun. So many moguls…we got a work out in this altitude. Some parts of the course back up to industrial sites and roads with road noise, but overall a nice afternoon of golf. Both hubby and I snot good scores for our first time here.

Outstanding

All the employees are friendly and the course is well kept and a challenge. The difference between the outward nine and the inward nine makes a wonderful golf course. Play it. You will not regret it.

Outstanding course conditions and interesting layout

Played for the first time today (Aug 2022). Probably the second best course I have ever played on. I cannot imagine better grass in the fairways. Every fairway was perfect. The rough was mounded with difficult grass; not heavy rough, but wispy and a few inches tall. The mounds that bordered many fairways were a challenge; first to avoid them, then to hit off them. The greens were soft and receptive and the ball rolled smoothly everywhere. The contours of the greens provided plenty of challenging putts. Greens were mid speed … not slow, but not too fast for a mid-handicapper to handle. Pace of play was a bit slow, but 73 degree weather in mid-August made this tourist from hot Texas enjoy a slowish round of golf.

Fun Course!

I got to play a round with my grandson on this fun course a couple of days before Thanksgiving. It was a perfect course for our level of play...not too hard and not too easy.
Course conditions were good and the staff very friendly.
Beautiful layout with view of the mountains. A very enjoyable round of vacation golf!

Very Enjoyable Round

Very high on the fun factor. Front nine is fairly straightforward but the back nine is lovely and has more character. Sand traps were in bad shape but the rest of the course was in good condition. Most importantly, we had a great time.
