Towa Golf Club

About Towa Golf Club

This public track sits in the high desert outside Santa Fe, where the thin air at 7,000+ feet elevation will add serious distance to your shots, plan on clubbing down and watching drives carry 20-30 yards further than usual. The layout takes advantage of the dramatic Sangre de Cristo mountain backdrop, weaving through piñon pines and natural arroyos that come into play more often than you'd expect. What separates Towa from other high-altitude desert courses is how walkable it remains despite the elevation, with reasonable distances between greens and tees that make it one of the better walking experiences in northern New Mexico. The 3.9 Google rating reflects a course that delivers solid, no-frills golf without breaking the bank, expect firm, fast conditions typical of desert tracks, with greens that can get tricky when the wind picks up in the afternoons. It's the kind of place locals play regularly without complaint, offering honest golf holes that reward good shots and punish poor ones. The setting alone makes it worth the drive if you're in Santa Fe, especially in fall when the aspens are turning and the mountains provide one of the Southwest's most spectacular golf backdrops.
