The new king of NM Mountain Courses 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 29, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Amazing course! Very well balanced between short/long, up/down hill, left/right turning shots.

Definitely tests your entire game.

Off the fairway is punishing in the fact that you will lose strokes without punishing your body by tearing through gnarly brush and undergrowth.

It has many two shot holes that require both length and accuracy.

Amazing views on the course and lift. Excellent risk/reward factor.

Excellent tee pads and signs.

Only $5 to ride the lift if you show your PDGA card.

Cons:

Lifts close at 4pm so you either have to finish by then or hike down.
No potable water at the top (although bottled is available for sale)

Other Thoughts:

This course has replaced sipapu as the best mountain course in the state and it isn't even close.

Pros:

The views on this course are really stunning. The aspen trees are a treat. You can ride the ski lift up to the top and back down. All the equipment was in great shape. I like that the course has a hard nine and an easy nine. It's a real ball buster as you have to hike up and down several times. Some really great downhill shots. I played extremely well here with a 59. Also the town the course is in is neat. If you are in the area with your family they can easily be entertained with other things while you play.

Cons:

Not for faint of heart. A lot of hiking. Also I'd like to see a lot better course markings. I spent a lot of time and effort searching for the next hole or the basket. Could use Pro / Am tees like Sipapu.

Other Thoughts:

This is destination course. With the other courses in the area do yourself a favor. Get some buddies, get in the car, and drive to Northern New Mexico and play all of these mountain courses. They are all amazing and better than any courses you play where you live.

Pros:

The most stunning views no matter what hole your on. The course is on land that was mining camps, there is still lots of old stuff to check out from those days on a tee pad. killer elevation shots, and some of the most challenging lines iv seen with D.

Cons:

must take chair lift

Other Thoughts:

GOTTA PUT RED ON YOUR LIST!
