Detailed description of University Of New Mexico, Championship Course

Championship Course At The University Of New Mexico, is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The University of New Mexico's Championship Golf Course first opened for play in 1967. The par-72 course was designed by Robert (Red) Lawrence.

The Championship Golf Course was situated on naturally hilly terrain and features wide rolling, sloping fairways with many elevation changes. Long and tough from the tournament tees, the course offers five sets of tee markers to challenge and enhance the enjoyment of any golfer. Although not a true desert course, the holes meander through desert-like terrain that serves as home to a variety of wildlife including rabbits, roadrunners, owls and hawks. You might even catch a glimpse of a coyote.

This home course to the University of New Mexico golf teams is open to the public year round. They offer a full-service golf shop and practice facility including a large driving range, three practice greens and a unique 3-hole beginners course where newcomers and veterans alike can hone their skills. .

The temperate climate in Albuquerque means this course is open year round.
