Mountain golf at 8,600 feet means thin air and big elevation swings
Mountain golf at 8,600 feet means thin air and big elevation swings. The layout rolls through ponderosa pines with enough climbing to get your heart rate up, though nothing brutal by high-altitude standards. Cart paths wind throughout, but walking is permitted and plenty of locals do it regularly. The real challenge is breathing, not the terrain. Expect to add a club or two thanks to the altitude, and maybe an extra water bottle in your bag. Summer mornings here are cool and quiet. Worth the drive from Santa Fe or Taos if you want 18 holes away from the desert heat.
