Located at the base of the Sacramento Mountains, this city-owned, year-round course features four sets of tees for golfers of all levels. The tree-lined front nine has a parkland-style layout highlighting large greens with subtle undulations. The back nine, or “desert nine,” is cut out of dramatic southern New Mexico desert and the course includes numerous water hazards. Desert Lakes Golf Course offers ideal weather - with summer highs in the 90s and moderate winter temps - as well as a restaurant and pro shop. For competitive fun, take part in the annual Desert Lakes Classic in early September.
Desert Lakes Golf Course in Alamogordo, New Mexico is proud to, once again, receive the Sun Country Amateur Golf Association 2021 Large Club of the Year award.
