Built in 1972 as a summer playground comparable to the ski resort, 6,653 yards were methodically planned as a golfers’ delight. The course is a mix of challenging and easy holes. There’s a fun par 3 that is a lot of golfer’s favorite. The 6th hole has you climb 200 additional feet to tee off of a box, making it a truly unique golf experience.

Expect to find fast perfect greens and lush fairways. The front nine has a tight tree line and requires straight swings. In comparison, the back nine turns to mountain meadow play with rolling fairways, roaming streams and lots of bunkers. Sightings of deer, elk, small mammals, geese and ducks are plentiful as they are often roaming the course.

The practice areas are significantly stocked with balls. There are separate chipping, putting and range areas. The world-class pro shop will take care of all of your golfing needs. PGA Certified Golf Instructors can be booked separately or through a group clinic.

If you’re traveling with kids you’ll want to take advantage of the other things that the Angel Fire Country Club has to offer. There is an indoor pool, kid clinics or golf clinics and meals catered to them.
