After playing another local course and having a bad experience, I played this one on the 4 PM…read moretwilight. Overall had a great experience. Tee boxes and fairways in good shape. 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 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.

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.

We both had to send back our plates because the potatoes were cold. When mine came back the potatoes were warmer but swimming in gravy. I literally had a plate full of gravy. The roast beef was flavorful, but not very tender. And I don't even know if there were sides on the plate because I couldn't see anything under the gravy. The waitress was pleasant but failed to tell us about the specials or the October menu that was already on the table in front of us when we were seated. We both were baffled by the lack of attention to our dining experience which we had been looking forward to all week. I felt like I was eating at Denny's. The food was Denny's quality, there was nothing special about it. And the chocolate cake I ordered was a small brownie in the shape of a pie with homemade whipped cream and some cherry chutney. That was the most expensive brownie I've ever eaten. What a major disappointment the meal was. I doubt I will ever return for a meal, it was just bad from the get go. Like I said, it was basically Denny's at four times the price. Was it worth the price for the view, definitely not! But with just a glass of wine in the afternoon on the patio, absolutley!
