We did the Dam Nine, and we are a novice group, so it was a challenging course. The grass was well cared for. All of the greens were cut very short and fun to play on.

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!

The views around the course were stunning as were the views of the resort. Not a hair out of place at this course. Very forgiving yet greens and surrounding areas were extremely challenging.

Can I get a witness? Having that written, the location you're practicing said frustration that you hope evolves into fun has a lot to do with your overall experience. Can I get another witness? Amen! This is an absolutely beautiful course! It's set up very well and very challenging. However, what sets them apart from other higher end courses is the staff! Seriously, from the nice young girls who greet you upon arrival and set your bags on a cart for you, to the pros in the shop, all the nicest folk you'll most likely encounter in your day. I'd especially like to acknowledge golf pro Allen for being extra nice! He and other pros are the foundation upon future patronage of a particular golf course. And despite the fact that this is a high end course, there is no air of snobbery. There is no dismissive attitudes from any of the staff! Price wise? Sure, a bit more expensive than a muni, but obviously you get what you pay for, right? If you're a beginner like my daughter and I, or an old pro who has been whackin' balls for decades, you'll still be treated great here and hopefully love every minute of your day. Unless of course your frustrations get the better of you. Just remember, it's still just a game! And always remember the factual saying: a bad day on the golf course beats a good day at work every time! Cheers!

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.

Golf cart was constantly dinging loudly with offers for food or other upsells. The experience: Played 18 holes on the Mesa/Lakes course. Seemed nice, good availability, cart and practice area were included, practice balls were higher than average quality practice greens matched course conditions on most of the holes. Played in a foursome, started on time but the group behind was waiting on the tee when we started. We let them pass us but suddenly we were 15 minutes behind according to the cart. We keep track of our play and we were well within the 12 min per hole average. At the turn we were given a choice to play on the Arroyo versus the Lakes course as they pro said it was less crowded. We enjoyed Arroyo but were baffled as to the reason Mesa/Lakes was overbooked with a pushy marshal instead of spreading out play on all three courses. The course has all the ingredients of a great resort course but is being managed like a racetrack.

And the kicker was, when I went to the range there were only about 6 balls on the entire range to hit. I am not talking about my stall, the entire range. Had to go to the shed to get my own balls. I just get the sense that this place is falling apart, customer service feels like they are just putting up with you but really don't want your business. I won't be coming back anytime soon, and I only live 7 minutes from it. I would rather drive to Albuquerque and play a muni.
