Course Reviews

Course Name The Lodge Golf Course
Location Cloudcroft, New Mexico, USA
Comments from A.D. Catron, Montgomery, Texas, USA
Highest course in The US. 18 Holes. Originally 9 holes. Great Mountain Course but beware; You must club back at least 2 clubs.

Comments from Jeff Hayden, Lillian, Texas, USA
I lived next to the course and played it frequently. This course provides a golfing experience that every avid golfer should have before they die. There are a lot of courses that have better amenities, better playing surfaces, and more holes, but there are very, very few courses that make you feel so at peace and so relaxed that you really don't care what your score is. This course WILL challenge you as no other course ever has. The vertical drop on the first hole (reachable in 1 shot) must be around 120'. The opposite is true on the 9th. WOW. You can BLAST drives like Tiger in the ultra thin air at 9,200' in elevation. Watch out for bears, seen sometimes trying to play a hole or two, (silly bear, golf is for kids). In early spring or late fall the greens may freeze rock hard so set your trip between May and September and you should have a great time.

Elevation says it all. Kind of out-of-the-way, but if you're staying in the Ruidoso area, it's worth the drive. Take a camera & enjoy the drop-off on #1. Club down & enjoy the whispering pines of Southern New Mexico.
