NORTH GOLF COURSE

The high desert terrain delivers unexpected elevation changes and forced carries over arroyos that will test every club in your bag, while mature cottonwoods frame fairways against the dramatic backdrop of the Sandia Mountains. Wind becomes your primary adversary here, with afternoon gusts that can turn a routine approach shot into a white-knuckle scramble for par. This municipal gem proves that public golf in the Southwest doesn't have to sacrifice character for accessibility—just bring extra balls for those desert washes.
