The set up is rolling hills and too many traps. Shooting an eagle followed by a shot that caused amateur golfers to cringe in terror is beyond making sense. What on earth were they thinking sticking a 6 foot rolling hill in front of a lake on the 18th hole. How us anyone supposed to make that shot when you can't see the flag. Carts are something else nice she clean but so behind technology it makes you want to cry. Even university has tv screens and tracking for other carts. How are you going to advertise country club with no technology when the technology is better at the school run course ?????? Pro shop is a vast disappointment. There are about 30 items in it well over priced. No head covers, accessories, and very limited selection. Grill in the clubhouse is sad and I will review it separate. Beautiful to look at but not easy to play.

They charged $10 dollars for the bucket, even the balls were substandard, old and beat up. The condition of the range was deplorable, tall grass and weeds prevalent, not mowed grass. I suggest you do not waste your time and Money at this place!!

It was a very slooooow night. Ordered three drinks and clearly pointed out my parents. Bar tender poured four after I reiterated several times we wanted three. When she set down the fourth I communicated that we only wanted three and proceeded to argue with me that the fourth was for my father(whom i had already ordered for). It was very aggravating and ruined a night that would have otherwise been care free and relaxing. Food was typical bar food. There arent a lot of great restaurant options in las cruces so we were expecting to go and have a nice evening, enjoy the sunset and catch up. Instead, we got servers who came over and proceeded to argue with what the problem was. the place has great views, but if they could step up the service and be more "friendly" it would go a long way. Maybe the place would then be busier than the crowd that they are currently getting. my family and I will not be returning.

Not bad, but certainly not great. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were in fair shape. The…read morehazards were minimal, with a few sand traps and water that comes into play on three holes. Perhaps it was because it was Memorial Day, and more people than usual were out, but the pace of play was glacial which resulted in a 4:45 hour round. The group of five in front of us didn't help. At one point we saw six players on another green ... yikes! I don't believe I've ever seen that before. The significant amount of time between many of the strokes made it difficult to get into a rhythm. The pace of play and the fact there was nothing remarkable about the course means there is no reason to return if ever in the area.

Last summer under the new management I also had the Ahi Tuna (yes, in the desert) and it was fabulous. Salads I've had were wonderful and today I had a quick bowl of chili. The chili was a good temperature. Not too hot, it wasn't nuked. The seasoning is great and thick, the way chili should be. I've spent time on the deck, in the dining room and in the tap room. The service has been excellent. The staff is pleasant, attentive and know the menu as well as their jobs. The decor is continuing to be updated and there are new tables, new paint and new decor. I really hope the word get out about this great dining, snacking, golfing experience. I'll follow up again this coming summer. I can't wait to see you again.

After a dinner on the deck last Friday, which was dry buffalo chicken wings, I returned today for a…read moreleisurely lunch - namely a good sandwich. Which was also quite dry. The young female server brought no menu, no setup, no water to the table. She was a unsure about whether they carried Coke products. She brought my Pepsi on request, set it down, took about two minutes to get a straw I had to request & then a napkin I had to request separately. The glass was filled to the brim & had no ice tho I asked for "not too much ice." She did not bring any salt for the fries, (nor was any offered for the wings last week.) The wait for her return got marginally longer each time she left the table. She did not return to ask if the meal was ok, if I needed anything, & was gone a good while while I simply abandoned my quest for salt. And ice for the soda. She hovered closely at my elbow when dropping off the bill & as I fumbled to put the sandwich into the take-out, get into my purse, and pack up my writing pad & pen, she just stood there asking if I knew if it would be cash or charge. Either way I planned to pay, so this breathless monitoring did not help. I asked her to give a me chance to put things together - & a bit of space, so she left for about five minutes, actually until I stood up & readied to leave. Some training is in order for this server & some basic courtesy plus people skills might also be helpful. I have experienced far better service there but not sure what is happening lately. Why is the food dry? Why no condiments? Why no contact at all from beginning of meal to end? Usually the server will cruise by to ask if anything else needed. I know this to be a better eatery. What's up?

I CAME WITH NO CLUBS TO PLAY AND MY BOYFRIEND WAS ONLY IN A GROUP WITH A FATHER AND SON (meaning he got a cart to himself anyway). With an establishment that was recommended by pretty "high name" people of the city, I'm surprised to see Painted Dunes making visitors pay a WHOLE cart fee just to spend time with their significant other, when there was room in the first place to accommodate. Also, another note, I came LATE because I was waiting for my boyfriend to let me know if he'd get his own cart anyway. I found my boyfriend at hole 5 and was tracked down at hole 7 being told to pay.
