Golf in New Mexico
We have 93 golf courses in New Mexico in our golf course database.
Many people travel to the southwest to rid themselves of the winter blues. For this reason, golf is becoming increasingly popular in the desert states. New Mexico is home to more than 70 courses all of which boast superior scenery. The year round great temperature in the southwest is definitely a benefit for its golf industry.
If traveling to the Northwestern area of the state, near Aztec, you will be surrounded by New Mexico’s culture, natural beauty and great golfing. The Pinon Hills Golf Course, in Farmington, was rated the best public course in the US in 2002 by Golf Digest, just outside of Aztec. When you are done golfing visit the Aztec Ruins and delve into ancient history, which dates back to the 1100s.

FORE! Lee Westwood ball ends up in a woman's shirt !!!
Lee Westwood hooked his drive on the 13th hole into a crowd of folks at the Ritz Charlton Golf Course as a part of the Accenture Match Play Championship.
This is maybe not news but where the ball landed is incredible..... The ball somehow made it's way into a woman's shirt as seen in the video below.
What would have been funnier is if the lady would have taken a run towards the green and dropped the ball there or even dropped it in the hole :)
