New Mexico State University Golf Course

Course was in good shap. Greens are best in town. No water and fountains don’t work anywhere. Refreshment girl only came around on each nine. Marshal should carry cold water for everyone playing in thermos jug. When temperatures are in upper 90s and over 100 degrees this is a safety consen and liability for golf course!

We had a 6:48 AM tee time and from the get go even range staff was friendly which, as a non-morning person, I admired. The course was a little wet and the greens were extra fast, but for an early and freshly watered tee time it was expected. The back nine played beautifully!

This was the second time where we were told our pace of play was too slow (although the first was because a twosome was power-walking and the staff told us our pace was fine). Finished all 18 in sub-four hours as a group of three. Admittedly we are amateurs, but that’s why we are playing at NMSU. Maybe it would be helpful to start groups off at the front and back nine rather than all at one.

This is a great place to spend a Saturday playing gold with friends...
