Links At Sierra Blanca

About Links At Sierra Blanca

Tucked into the high country of New Mexico at over 6,900 feet elevation, this public track takes full advantage of its spectacular mountain setting beneath Sierra Blanca Peak. The thin air will add 10-15% to your drives, but don't get too excited, the course demands precision over power, with mature ponderosa pines and aspens framing tight fairways that punish wild swings. Several holes play dramatically uphill or downhill, and the greens can be tricky to read with the mountain terrain creating subtle breaks you might not expect. While the course doesn't have the manicured conditioning of a resort layout, it offers solid value for a mountain golf experience without the premium pricing. The 4.1 Google rating reflects what you'd expect: decent golf in a beautiful setting with some maintenance inconsistencies typical of high-altitude courses dealing with short growing seasons. If you're visiting Ruidoso and need a golf fix, it's worth playing for the scenery and elevation novelty, but don't expect it to crack your top-10 list.
