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

5 Stars? Yes, for a muni course in Albuquerque, this course gets 5 stars. Last year they had some…read morekind of problem with the irrigation system and lost a lot of grass (we had like zero precipitation last year, so it was not good). A year later and you would not know it. City guys did an outstanding job of getting this excellent course back in shape. Hat tip to the city workers at all of Albuquerque's muni courses. Some of the guys at Arroyo have been there many years and they care about that course. One practice green for chipping (with a bunker) and two for putting. Pretty good driving range, but in the winter don't expect a lot of good grass. You will have various "lies" on this course. More slope in the fairways than most courses in Albuquerque. A down hill putt away from the mountain? Be careful, that's going to be a fast putt! Normally they will have a beverage cart out every day. Tip them well! Cafe has better than average food for sure. Tip them well too! Everybody is friendly and many of the staff members are long time employees, which in my mind indicates a good work environment, which results in good friendly service. The City's Point-of-Sale system slows everything down during check-in, but that's true at all four muni courses. A pretty scenic course considering it's in the middle of the city. The Sandia mountains can present several different "looks" depending on cloud drape, crisp air, or even dusted in snow (yes, in Albuquerque you can play golf in a light jacket one day, and go skiing the next day). On a sunny day with really clear air, the Sandias look like they are 100 yards away - beautiful. Water buckets on number 1 and 10 would be a nice touch. Also seems they don't have the best sand in the bunkers. The sand they use has a lot of tiny rock chips, which will splash up on the greens. Last time out there were no flags on the practice green, so if you hole two or three balls, you've got to fish them out, rather than just pulling them out with the flag. Minor, but it's a nice touch and Arroyo is pretty much the only course that doesn't provide flags. All in all, an excellent value and a fun layout. Highly recommend.

Executive 9-hole course review: Very reasonably priced and…read morethe course is well maintained. Gas golf cart is optional or you can walk. Par 29 with some bunkers. Driver should not be needed here. Although the starter told me "no cart paths exist so just keep off the greens", but I was approached by the golf course Marshall around the 5th hole telling me I was getting too close to the greens in my cart - I was a good 30 feet away from the closest green! Anyway, he said I needed to be at least 30 yards from the green. Really dude? Anyway, I might have given the course a 5-star review if not for that discussion. Greens aren't the best, they could be worse. The rest of the course is very nicely maintained.

Obviously thinking back whether or not you got your money's worth can frustrate the best of us, but I believe it crosses just about everyone's mind despite the tax bracket we fall in. So, if value is a concern, then muni courses obviously serve a great purpose, don't they? Especially if you're a beginner, the last thing you want to do is drop serious dough at a high end course when you're barely able to get that little white demon ball straight down the fairway. Look, with the exception of some, I'd venture to write even the vast majority of professional golfers paid their dues at various muni courses across the country. They're there for a reason, and I'm certainly glad they are. My daughter, wife and I (all beginners) played the executive par 3 9-hole and had a frustratingly great time! Relatively cheap, flat and straight. We walked it for the extra exercise aspect, and really enjoyed our day. If you're also a beginner, consider playing best ball like we did to help things move along a little faster. Whether just hitting some balls on the driving range, or actually playing, I know we'll be back plenty. And you might want to go burn a few calories too. Cheers!

Greens zoom here, and most approach shots are uphill. when we tee'd off at 7am we played 18, and never saw the cart girl. Apparently it was too early. When we teed off at 4pm we saw her on hole 1, and she was done for the day after that. Apparently it was too late.... They also close the restaurant at the turn relatively early. We were unable to restock our beer supply there so we had to finish the round SOBER! and it really hindered our ability to play good golf...or at least it's my excuse! Not sure why ABQ golf courses seem to have a problem getting the beer to their golfers, but i'd imagine they lose out on a boat load of money because they can't serve adequately. if you go in the afternoon you can play for $40. At $40 it's definitely worth it. At $80 IMO it's definitely not! I think there is 2 holes with water which i would like to see on 5 or 6 at least. I know we are in the desert but at $80 a golfer you'd think there'd be some money for another pond or two. They do have a cool range that I like as well, and the marshal/cart manager has been nothing but awesome! very cool guy.

The UNM Championship Golf Course and facilities are really nice. Is it fair for me to give a…read more5-star rating when I didn't play golf? I think so as I was running a PGA of America pro fundraiser and the good players in the field love this course. I would hear many of them saying its difficult and mostly fair (Hole no. 10 appears to be the kick-in-the-butt). Walking out from between the modest LOBO pro-shop and the grille, you stand and see a great vista overlooking a good bit of Albuquerque. All the way across the city basin you see 9-Mile Ridge and just to the left are five extinct volcano peaks. To the rear and over the shoulder are the tailing portions of the Rocky Mountains. I did putt a few on the greens and they were very healthy ... and quick. The course ends the Front 9 with a par-5 and the Back 9 with a par-5. The grille had a very nice menu and they did the taco bar service at the close of play - tasty with lots of New Mexican flare. Should I ever have a chance to return to Albuquerque ... with my golf clubs, this is my stop. Play away, golfers! UNM Championship Course is suuuhweeeet!

Been stuck behind people too many times here and it turns a 4 hour round into 5 or more. Marshall doesn't care. We flagged him down multiple times. He said there was nothing he could do about it. When you call the pro shop they don't care either. Not sure what the deal is with that. Course has a lot of rough patches in the fairway. For all the money they make from the Office you'd think it be in better shape. & don't even want to get started on the POS carts they have. They will start beeping and lock up on the first cut, not even the rough. Constantly locking up in the cart path. I know no one there could give a shit less but I won't be playing here again.
