RIVERVIEW GOLF COURSE

The high desert terrain of northern New Mexico delivers a surprisingly challenging layout where elevation changes and persistent winds test every club in the bag. Four lakes come into play on six holes, creating strategic decisions that reward course management over pure distance, while the par-4 14th demands a precise approach over water to a well-guarded green. At nearly 6,000 feet above sea level, the ball flies farther but the thin air makes reading putts on these subtly undulating greens an art form worth mastering.
