3. Albuquerque, New Mexico

Surrounded by the stunning Sandia Mountains, golf courses in Albuquerque add lush splashes of green to the sunny New Mexico scenery. One of the best mixes of traditional golf greens with native landscapes is Sandia Golf Club, located on the grounds of Sandia Resort & Casino. The club has the distinction of being the longest course in all of New Mexico, at 7,779 yards, and features two lengthy par fives that measure more than 600 yards apiece – at 630 and 610 yards. Another top venue in Albuquerque is Isleta Eagle Golf Course, which includes 27 holes designed around three lakes. Twin Warriors Golf Club at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa has 18 holes that are set along grassy knolls and ridges. The fairways are lined with juniper and pinon pine trees, and the course is graced with interesting eroded land areas called arroyos.
