A truly unique course that will challenge all levels. Drive able pats fours in some instances but too much club could definitely get you in trouble. A well designed course that is fun to play all year round! The kind of course that can make you look really good one day and really bad the next! Regardless of the outcome the clubhouse is a great place to unwind and enjoy some great food and spirits!

I played this course 2 or 3 times a week before I moved from Las Cruces. I always felt that they were working hard to keep the course in great condition. Because it is a university course budget constraints do not allowed them to overseed the bermuda grass in the winter. However the greens are kept in great shape regardless of the season. The course is marshaled by volunteers and they are always of great help for visitors and members alike. Fivesomes are allowed on the course but the marshals keep the place to play to 4 hours or less.
