Rockwind Community Links, Li\'l Rock Par 3

Detailed description of Rockwind Community Links, Li\'l Rock Par 3

Rockwind Community Links is a public, 27 hole golf facility located in Hobbs, New Mexico. The facility has a regulation 18-hole course and a 9-hole par three course named Li'l Rock.

The Li'l Rock course first opened for play in 2015.

Li’l Rock was built to facilitate walking, families, beginner golfers, and kids. The course is open with player-friendly features. The length of shots ranges from a sand wedge (less than 60 yards) up to a driver (185 yards). Sand bunkers are shallow and easy to navigate. The fairway and green approaches flow directly into the adjoining tees allowing for multiple teeing locations and interesting shot values. This design feature enables a player to “call their shot” from just about any area adjacent to the green that was last played.

Li’l Rock complements an expanded practice range, which has enough length to allow practice areas on either end. Targets are provided at specific distances for the highest levels of practice. A short game area is incorporated into the teeing ground at the end of the range to double as a fairway for chipping and intermediate-length shots. All practice areas and greens have been constructed in the same style and technique as the greens on the main course and replicate the regulation course conditions.
