I come to Ruidoso every summer and sometimes several times. I always try to play the links because of the course and the wonderful staff that they have. They treat you like they are always glad to see you. The course has a great layout and it's always a good time. Everybody should try it out.

Course was in good shape. Greens were fast. Fairways were okay, but have been better. Sand traps were a little hard packed.

Ok for the price

The course was maintained pretty well. It’s a links style. Not very hard. Fun but not my favorite.
I asked for a vodka and orange juice and they told me they didn’t have any? Most ppl
Bring their own?????

Mountain Golf

The practice range & putting green are very good and after a few visits, the staff recognized me and knew my usually requested medium bucket of balls. The course is an interesting mix with a links feel to the front nine and woodlands on the way in. This course is fun to play, the staff is friendly and I’ll look forward to playing it again next summer.

Great job on maintaining

This is a. Low rainfall , high altitude area. They do an excellent job of keeping the fairways and greens in good shape., despite the herds of elk that love walking across the greens. Nice staff and really enjoyable course without crowds.

FUN COURSE

We play this course frequently and enjoy it. The only negative are the 5somes that hold things up. Can’t understand why courses allow 5somes when they are trying to grow the game.
