Nice Open Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 13, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Open shots, Ace Friendly (I hit one on back 9) No water hazards, nice grassy terrain, great pin placement. Clean park.

Cons:

No concrete tee's your throwing off of dirt/grass. Only 9 baskets so locals play a front, back, and a par 3 in one round with all 9 baskets. No trash cans or restrooms. Kids running through park, slowed our game. Baskets only have one placement.

Other Thoughts:

Great course for beginners and those awful times when we fall in a slump. A "Motivator" course I finished at -15 playing all par 3's. Oh yea I left this course feeling good.

Fun 9 Hole Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 14, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Only 9 holes so the course plays quick and does not tire you out. Playing one of the alternate back 9s allows you to play 18 holes total and still have time and energy to keep going! There are several wide open shots with many tree hazards, a water hazard on hole 2, and a few long shots. The most enjoyable holes are the signature hole 6 with an ace or birdie opportunity at the short basket nestled in between the trees and the aceable hole 8. The course has a great secluded location back behind the 3rd pond of Ned Houk park. The 1st tee is right off of the parking.

Cons:

Although the terrain is somewhat hilly, the elevation changes are not great. Not very challenging with only a few difficult shots, generally a beginners course. Has dirt run ups which can get muddy if it rains (although rain is rare in Eastern NM).

Other Thoughts:

If you play this course with locals, we can guide you on playing the back 9 with alternate pin positions and tees. There is a long back 9 and also an alternate short back 9. Both play the course backwards and add completely different elements to the course. The short back 9 gives lots of ace and birdie opportunities. Locals usually play for tags on Sundays at 2:00 P.M. and anyone is welcome to join us.
