A really fun course to play, regardless of your skill level.

Since it’s owned by the wealthiest casino in New Mexico, which prides itself in having the best resort in the state, the course is always in immaculate condition. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and available. The four pro’s, clubhouse staff, cart assistants, and even the ground crew will always give you a greeting with a smile. The restaurant is so good people come there to eat, even when they’re not golfing.
At 5300 feet above sea level (where golf balls fly farther) the course itself is laid out in, over, around and through arroyos (small canyons) at the base of the Sandia Mountains that hover 5000 feet above the course and always provide an added aesthetic beauty to your day. With 5 tee boxes you can choose to play the course from 4954 to 7755 yards. The highly skilled and experienced course superintendent is charged with and maintains high quality and pristine fairways, greens, tee boxes, and rough, and the practice facilities are excellent. Should your ball, unfortunately, land in one of the numerous traps, you’ll be hitting out of the best sand I’ve ever played out of. (It’s not dirt or powdery sand. It’s formulated specifically for quality golf courses who can afford to buy it). Note that there are six small lakes/water hazards you’ll want to avoid, but they only add to the beauty of the course.
Overall, when you come to Sandia, bring expectations of playing a good round of golf, in a beautiful setting, with all the amenities you would want from a resort course. You’ll go home thankful you chose this course while you were in the Land of Enchantment.
Side note- I’m a 70 year old retiree who’s played all over the country and all the best courses in N.M.
