Other than an issue I had with some chick in the Pro Shop who was totally clueless and later hung up on me, I have never had any problems with any of the staff here. When I was a kid, I loved taking golf lessons out here. It's always been a nice course. Now that I'm a parent of upper elementary grade students, I've had the pleasure of being around the staff and coaches who facilitate the "First Tee" kid's program. Not only do they stress the importance of fun and fundamentals, but at the end of each session they discuss pillars pertaining to character and sportsmanship like respect and responsibility. My 9-year-old is getting a bit bored with it, but she has learned a lot about this great game. If you're not into golf like many wives seem to be - have a few drinks and apps or a light lunch at the Rockwind Grill. There is indoor and outdoor dining available. Also nearby to keep anti-golfers occupied are the following: + CORE (Center of Recreational Excellence) + Hobbs Veterans Memorial + Lovington Highway Health Walk (concrete walking path parallel to Highway 18) + McAdams Park + New Mexico Junior College + University of the Southwest + Western Heritage Museum and Lea County Cowboy Hall of Fame + Zia Park Casino Hotel & Racetrack This course often allows fundraisers throughout the year - so proud of my community for that.

Nothing but good things to say about this golf course! The owner of the establishment was very…read morefriendly. I showed up with nothing but an eagerness to play, and the owner helped me get set up with some rental clubs, tees and a few golf balls. It was 15$ to walk 9 holes, and he let me use the rental clubs for free since I was only doing the front 9. The greens were well maintained, and the layout of the course was pretty straightforward. A few other patrons at the course helped me find my way once or twice, but they were very nice about it. The only thing I wish would have been different about this experience was only golfing 9 instead of doing the full 18!

I have attended two pro am tournaments here and they have both been some of the best events of the year. The golf course itself it an amazing track. It is shorter than most from the tips but with all the trees it provides an amazing challenge. The course is always in great shape and the greens roll true. The par 3's are a challenge and the par 5's are great risk reward holes. Definitely recommend this course to anyone in the area.

Greens looked nice, but a little bumpy and soft and definitely the "volcano" that forms around the hole at the end of the day. Pace of play was a little frustrating, due mainly to one of those horrible foresomes that don't care about anyone else: I skipped hole 8 and never dealt with them again. Carts in at 7 wouldn't have been an issue except for the slower play, but arranged to have wife return cart and walked last three holes. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

The brisket is perfectly cooked and so tender! It comes w a potato latke which is delicious. The steak was ordered medium and it was fantastic, tender and flavorful. The sides we ordered were the scalloped potatoes and sautéed mushrooms - loved the potatoes but the mushrooms were not my fave. The Thai lettuce wraps were amazing!! Bang-bang shrimp are spicy but so yummy! The desserts are decadent and warm! We had one of each because we like both but did not want them combined. The brownie is a dark chocolate and goes well w the vanilla gelato; the blondie is buttery gooey goodness w cinnamon and also pairs well w the vanilla gelato. Our server tonight was friendly and thoughtful, always filling up our tea and checking on us at the best times. The sunset out the windows was beautiful and the restaurant is lovely inside and out. On May 9th we tried the wagyu short rib and shrimp pasta w pork lettuce wraps and the cobbler for dessert. All I can say is it was all wonderful and I really hope Chef does the beef rib again!!! We had brunch again the first Sunday of May and it was just as good as the last time!!

The design of this course is amazing. It has many interesting holes, great design, well thought…read moreout It is completely unmaintained. The fairways were a mixture of multiple types of grass (including crabgrass) with weeds and bare patches. Even in the fairway, bad shots from bad lies was the rule. Mowing appeared to be a random event, as some fairways were 3 inches long The only yardage markings were posts at 150 yards. Some tees were also unmown. I played on a Thursday, so don't know why. The greens were a disaster. Many bare patches, uneven, poorly mown and maintained. Some were the quality of temporary greens and long grass with crabgrass. I was very frustrated when I finished the round, and would never return unless I knew things had changed. This course needs some serious money put into it or it will fail. Yes I know there is an issue with elk and wild horses roaming the course at night, but the adjacent course had the same issues, charges about $30-50 more a round, and is in another universe as far as quality. I wish I could have played this course when it was actually maintained.
