High desert golf at 7,000 feet in the foothills north of Santa Fe
High desert golf at 7,000 feet in the foothills north of Santa Fe. Two Jack Nicklaus courses sit on dramatic terrain carved through piñon and juniper, with arroyos crossing several holes and long views toward the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Elevation makes the air thin and the ball flies. The walking is genuine work. Significant climbs between some holes and green-to-tee transitions that stretch the legs. Private club with limited outside access through member introduction or certain stay-and-play arrangements. Worth the effort to get on if you can swing it.
