Sandia Golf Club
High-desert resort/casino golf
Sandia is the big Albuquerque resort round: long, broad, scenic, and tied to casino-resort lodging. It is not subtle, but it is very useful.

Got caught in the rain, but was able to finish the round. Worth every dollar, awesome staff, and pristine course!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! My husband and son reserved a 9am tee time and I took a seat at their Sandia Grille with my book, since they were playing 18. View was breathtaking, it was empty when I arrived but Arianna immediately came over to greet me and take my order. Per her recommend

Black Mesa is rawer and weirder than the polished resort rounds, which is the point.

University of New Mexico Championship Course
UNM Championship is old-school serious golf hiding in plain sight.
