This was our first time playing at Turtles Mountain. Tim at the front desk of the pro shop was so friendly and made you feel like a friend instead of someone just known to pay and play. The course was so beautiful and challenging. We will definitely be back. Such a great atmosphere and serene
Fun course with some big elevation changes and a high slope. Great condition in July 2025. I would come back to play again. Interesting layout, never boring. Hole number three is a tough one. Favorite holes were 14 and 16. Course felt like a mix of Red Hawk and Cochiti. Good carts and service. The city of truth or consequences down the road is a cool stop with hot springs
Very scenic and challenging course. We had a great time. There were a couple of holes that had hoses/sprinklers coiled up in the fairways, but we were able to play around them. Very well kept course. The staff we dealt with were very friendly. Dinner afterwards was great. We tried a variety of dishes to include the beef fajitas, nachos, wings and salads. Everything was great--I would definitely recommend the beef fajitas!! Overall we had a great experience and look forward to our next visit.
We stopped in for lunch on our anniversary. We sat on the patio which has a great view of the golf course and the mountains. We each had one of the sandwich specials with a glass of wine. The food and drinks were great. Our waitress was a very nice young lady with a beautiful smile. She went above and beyond to make our lunch special. Thanks
Elizabeth checked us in and was so very professional, personable, and friendly. Exactly what you would expect at a golf course. I cannot speak highly enough about her. The golf course is in awesome shape and ready for their Open Tournament. The greens were incredible and so very smooth. It is a fun and challenging golf course to play. I only wish it was closer to Las Cruces.
