Inn of the Mountain Gods

The course was understandably closed due to soggy conditions. However, not only did they fail to notify people with confirmed tee rimes, but they didn’t so much as put a note on the door or a recording on their answering machine. We and a dozen other people all arrived for our tee times and tried to contact anyone at the club to confirm whether the course might reopen or how to reschedule. We had arranged our day around the 3:00 tee time. Management of this course obviously has no consideration for the time of its patrons.

One of the nicest and most challenging courses I’ve played. Just a touch on the slow side but that could be due to just a couple extremely slow players ruining it for everyone.

Greens horrible. Airifying was bad job. Tee boxes sanded… should have used the sand
It will take some time to get the greens back to where they were. Been playing there for over 30 years

Elk damage and end of season have had itheir effects on an otherwise great course

Booked and paid in full online, drove three hours from ABQ, and course was closed. Had apparently been closed for a couple of days. Wasted many hours driving for nothing. Please communicate closures in advance. Pro shop very non-chalant. Found you could still book online despite closure.

Booked online with golf now and got to the course to find it closed due the small amount of snow on it from last week. Very poor staff too, extremely rude.

Too many trees in the fairways....total of 28 trees in the middle of 12 fairways...do not recommend. Rainmaker Course is much better.

There are multiple (at least 5-6) fairways with mature pine trees in the fairways! They are in the landing areas or just blocking approach shots towards the green. You have to be able to either hit a punch hook or a punch fade to keep the ball in play. The local elk are allowed to roam around on the course leaving their tracks
embedded all over the greens, and their urine kills the turf grass leaving bare earth exposed.. Our cart had empty sand bottles to start with and each sand refill station was full of empty sand bottles and trash. There were 4 “bag boys” in the cart loading area and not any of them offered help placing the golf bags onto the carts of my foursome or to get us a wet towel.
The driving range is only 150 yds. long, so only wedges and short irons are allowed to be hit. When I called the day before to confirm my tee time, the answering machine recording gave the April 2019 opening date for play. This is 2020 folks. I left a message at 9:00 am asking for a call back that never happened. Many areas in play on the course. were soggy due to poor drainage . Sand traps were not well maintained. After the round at 4:00 pm, no “bag boys “ were available to clean clubs or help in any way. My one prior round at the course was just as bad an experience, but I thought I’d give it another try. Boy was I disappointed and felt bad for subjecting my friends to such a poor outing. I will not ever go back and recommend you look elsewhere too!

The course has a big wow factor in the beautiful Sacramento mountains of Ruidoso.

Round canceled due to 10-15 employees testing positive for COVID-19

Course did not meet expectations and reception upon arrival was non existent. The experience was comparable to playing a muni course but much more expensive. No bang for the buck!
