Isleta Eagle Golf Course

“Lush” best describes this rolling course with plenty of mounding. The contrast between pristine, well-maintained fairways and dense rough reminds you why you’re supposed to keep the ball in the short grass. Modified parkland. Plenty of mounds in fairways and rough, with fair but testy multi-tiered greens. Deep bluegrass rough and dense native vegetation off the fairways. Moderate elevation changes. Numerous lakes. Hosted NAIA Men’s (small-college) National Championships, New Mexico Open, U.S. Open qualifiers, AJGA championships and Futures Tour events. This Bill Phillips design has received a four-star rating from Golf Digest/Fodor’s “Best Places to Play Guide.” 7 minutes south of the Albuquerque airport. Isleta Casino & Resort, a 200-room hotel and spa that opened in 2008, is across the street from the golf course. Member of Golf on the Santa Fe Trail.
