This review is for the snack shop only - not for golf. So I attended a music event - paid $5 admission - no problem. Decided to get a beer (and prices are reasonable). Noticed the menu was not great - and wasn't going to get anything except they had a special - ENCHILADAS, RICE AND BEANS $6. I was hungry so I thought I would get it. Enchiladas are easy to make right - and I thought it was the most appetizing thing on the menu. So I asked for just the enchiladas since I am trying to stay off carbs - no rice or beans. When I put a fork into the plate of supposed enchiladas, all it was ended up being a pile of wet soggy corn masa with some psuedo-enchilada sauce. I picked through the pile of masa and nothing else was there. No cheese, no protein, no veggies - just masa and sauce. GROSS, DISGUSTING, AND WORST OF ALL A TOTAL LIE. HOW CAN A BUSINESS SELL SUCH CRAP AND CALL IT FOOD? The only reason for 2 stars is because the staff was really friendly. NEVER AGAIN WILL I EAT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 read more

LOVE this golf course, me and my husband come here almost every weekend. it is the best bang for your buck here in ABQ and the staff is always welcoming and friendly! The walk-on executive course is a great 9 hole course for beginners, and i love that the range is open until 10pm, makes it easy to get practice in any day of the week! read more

Course is in terrible shape. Massive dead spots, tee boxes are barron and burned out greens. City could do much better in running these courses. With Arroyo Del Oso being in even worse shape, we're running out of good, affordable golf options. read more

Nice course. Tight fairways, well manicured landscape, tricky greens. A little bit of construction underway on some holes. Overall, a pretty good course. read more

There was a time, under 'other' PGA pros running the course, that Ladera was a GOLF course, not the local drunken hangout for the neighborhood. It seems the current nearby pro, with or without the City's consent, has chosen instead to turn Ladera into an Applebee's with golf holes. The noise in the evenings from the bar area overwhelms the holes and the clientele in the bar spill out onto the golf practice areas on a regular basis, ruing the golf experience. Drunken fights in the parking lot are commonplace, and you can tell the staff is overwhelmed. Not recommended.... read more

Decent enough golf course that is pretty well maintained. I don't recommend the grill. It seems to have become a local bar and hang out. The young woman behind the counter spent a great deal of time chatting with people out on the floor and ignored people waiting in line to order. There was one pair in front of us, and once she decided yo take care of them she took an impressively long time getting beers for them from some other location, somewhere. After being second in line for quite some time while she chatted up people in the place, we finally gave up and our party of four left and went to a real restaurant. read more

Well. Its been a ling time since I played this course but it holds some fond memories. Located on the West Mesa of Albuquerque, Ladera is a muni course about 20 minutes from Downtown, Albuquerque. The course has a 9 hole executive course as well as an 18 hole championship course. Theres a well supplied pro shop and coffee bar/restaurant. Driving range and practice green is well kept and accessible. Some negative points. Typical Albuquerque weather can cause frost delays and cancellations when snow falls. And the summer monsoon rains are no joke. But the price is right and green fees are very competitive. So if you're in the New Mexico area looking for a great value, check out Lasers Municipal Golf Course. read more

Absolutely the worst golf staff I have ever encountered. Course never spends money on range balls. The course is always in bad shape. Plus they double and triple book every day, never can you finish a round in under 5. Arroyo blows this course away. Avoid this course at all cost read more

Beautiful morning for golf. This course has definitely improved over the years. Nice cheap and fun city course. The staff is really nice and helpful. Might even catch some balloon landings. read more

My husband thinks this course is a little whack, but I think it's good...especially for the west side! The Good: I really like the golf shop. They have a great selection of stuff. The prices for golf are also pretty good for this city. I really liked that you could get a $9 jumbo bucket of balls (it's A LOT-make sure it's at least 2 people) for the driving range. I also got to work on my putting using my own balls. There's also a nice pond un the course and you may get to see some ducks hanging out there! The Bad: Definitely far from the greenest greens in the city. It is okay, but pretty patchy in some areas. Will I be back? Definitely. It's close to home and is decently priced. It's a great place to practice! read more

I loved the course, The staff in the pro shoppe are all very friendly and professional , As a former PGA employee and greens super I have to say the greens were very nice, this is a municipal course and I highly recommend it. It's long and has some challenging holes but not difficult. Good fun!!! read more

While traveling through ABQ we wanted to play this course. Eric and the Pro Shop staff were wonderful to work with. Excellent customer service makes even a challenging day of golf worthwhile. Thank you for a great experience. We will be back! read more

My wife and I went to the course for our first visit today. We went specifically to use the driving range and putting practice green. The turf of both were very heavily sanded and it was difficult to even put in your tee, but there were very few people swinging, so we had a very peaceful practice. The yard markers are very large and easy to see and all-in-all, was well put together. It is a city course, so of course there is not a whole lot of money invested in it, but we had a good time. Practice balls ranged from $5, $7, and $9. My wife and I picked up the big bucket, and by the time we emptied the bucket, we had reached the end of our session. We will definitely be going back. read more

Have played all of the Albuquerque City courses. Probably the best greens and worst fairways in the city. One plus - never crowded!

I have no idea what's stuck up their you know what's. Probably the rudest encounter of staff at a golf course I have been to. The course is average at best and not worth the money. If you rent Golf clubs there's a $100 fee per golf club broken. $100!!! The clubs themselves are worth $20 max. They really need to change their attitudes and how they treat people if they even want to be considered a decent golf course. Never will return. read more

This is a pretty nice course. They have apparently done a lot of work to get it this way, compared to ?? Bonus, when we pulled in, there was an 18 wheeler unloading brand spanking new golf carts and we got one! Fun day! read more

Possibly the worst course I've ever played. Basically a goat track. Even the greens have large patches of dirt and rocks with pot holes. Even the fairways are full of pot holes. And just in case you're wondering, I am not that picky about where I play, but honestly, Ladera is awful! Friendly staff though. read more

Played 90 % of courses in the state and just a few years ago played this one and don't think it would have made 1 star but just played today and what a difference. I know they have done quite a bit of work to bring the grass back in recent years and it has obviously made a difference. The fairways play well and the rough is challenging but not impossible. Wish the regular players in this area took a little more pride in their local course and fixed their divots, however other than that the greens are in good shape and run pretty true at a manageable speed. The two areas that really need work are the native areas which are overrun with weeds which make finding an errand shot near impossible, and bad drainage in a few areas on the back of each nine. I also have to say the layout of the course is much better than Los altos and almost as good as arroyo del oso's, so if you haven't played it in a while give it another chance you won't be disappointed read more
