    I went in to buy my son his first pair of football cleats. When I walked in there were 4 employees…read morestanding around the cash register talking. As I walked up I asked if they had cleats and the one talking could not stop for a second but another employee told me "they are back by the stairs". Didn't offer to help and just pointed. After looking around I left the store completely disgusted with their service. I was forced to return due to 2 other stores not having any in stock. I chose a pair of cleats and asked for football gloves. An employee tried to point in another direction and only agreed to show me when I asked if I could interrupt their conversation and have someone show me what gloves they had. Teen (or early 20s) employees should not be managed by another teen (or early 20s) individual. Learn what customer service is if you are going to be working retail. You are not paid to socialize! I would have rather spent my hard earned money elsewhere!

As we walked in he asked the lady at the register where the restroom was, rudely, she replied, we do not have public restrooms, so we walked right back out, loaded the baby, and went home. We will never buy from Big 5 again. When we told our family members my son said he stopped shopping there for the exact same reason. To us it was more about not having a restroom accessible to customers but to get the rudeness as well was just that much more disappointing and upsetting. I will be sure to spread the experience.

    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.

    The course is in terrible shape. The greens are rough and on almost every hole we played fairway…read moreunder repair. In some cases it was difficult to find a place to even bump the ball. Too many bare spots with sparse grass. This course was once the jewel of Albuquerque and it's a shame to see how far it has deteriorated.

    My family and I go to Top Golf often as my children have found they really enjoy it and it's always…read morea great vibe. We have had a server named Brittany a few times and she has been truly amazing. We visited last night and unfortunately were put in another section and it was eye opening to see the change in service between Brittany and the other servers. Brittany is professional in the sense of keeping the game rolling and being respectful and considerate of our time- making sure food and drinks continue coming out. She is also incredibly personable and amazing with my children. I don't like leaving bad reviews so I won't go into last nights service but it did push me to highlight the exceptional service we have received in the past.

    We came here last night to celebrate my sister's birthday. We rented two bays and purchased the…read moreFlex Package, which included an extra 30 minutes and a $100 minimum food purchase. As soon as we arrived, the manager came over to introduce himself, explain how everything worked, and let us know our server would be with us shortly. He also mentioned that it was our server's first time handling a large group and asked us to be patient. I really appreciated him being upfront about that because it helped set expectations and made us much more understanding when service wasn't perfect. We had 12 people in our party, and everyone had a good time. The atmosphere was fun, and everyone who ate said the food was good. My only concern was with the gluten-free options. The menu had some items marked as gluten-free, but when I asked our server about them, he told me they "still had a little bit of gluten." When I asked what he meant, he wasn't sure. I asked if he was referring to cross-contamination, and he said he thought so, but he couldn't give me a clear answer. Since I have celiac disease and can't risk eating gluten, I decided not to order any food. I would recommend providing staff with better training on gluten-free options and food allergies so they can confidently answer questions from guests with dietary restrictions. Overall, service was okay, we had a good time, and our family enjoyed celebrating there.

    If you are looking for a long and difficult course, this is a good one. They have some very long…read moreholes, with lot's of traps around the greens. 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!
