Played on:Jun 14, 2013
Played the course:once
Pros:
-Nice baskets that are in great shape and catch well
-Tee sets of tees on each hole (an AM tee and a PRO tee).
-The tee-signs are good and give you a good view of the layout of the hole, with distance and par on it.
-3 or 4 holes have nice elevation change (7 is a fun top of the world type hole).
-Has a decent amount of distance with a lot of holes over 350 or more.
-Pretty easy to navigate (the only hard navigation point is hole 15 to 16 you have to head left from the basket across a golf green a little to find the next tee-pad).
-There are benches on a few holes
-A couple of the holes make pretty good use of the available obstacles.
-Since the course is pretty wide open, the wind will definitely come into play on many of the holes.

Cons:
-Both sets of tee-pads are all dirt and some of the tee-pads are badly rutted.
-Very little shade on this course and it can get quite hot out there.
-AM tee-pads really aren't much different than pros (they are usually just shorter than the PRO tee-pad).
-Tee-signs for 15 and 17 are missing.
-Quite a few of the holes on this course start to feel quite repetitive.
-Lots of the holes are fairly wide open with not too many obstacles (the back 9 are definitely a lot more open than the front nine).
-This course gets overgrown with lots of itchy grass and yucca.
-None of the holes are very memorable.
-The course is not super challenging
-A few safety issues (There are a few holes near the road. The hole route shown on hole 10's tee-sign has you throwing over a road, Hole 15 is near the edge of the ball golf driving range).

Other Thoughts:
This course is nothing memorable and gets a little boring fast, but there are not many other options to play in this part of the state until you hit Santa Fe.
