The area around Albuquerque in particular offers some incredible golf opportunities, as well as accommodation, dining, and entertainment options to satisfy everyone in your group.

Opened back in 2005, the course is part of the Sandia Resort and Casino, a 228-room property owned and operated by the Pueblo of Sandia with more than 140,000 sq. ft. of gaming space.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR YOUR GOLF GAME

Sandia Golf Course, a par-72, 7,752-yard championship course designed by Scott Miller, is a great place to start your southwest golf journey. Although the course plays long, the layout is enjoyable for golfers of all levels.

The facility includes a fully stocked golf shop, full practice range, 10,000 sq. ft. practice green, short game area, an event center, and the Sandia Grill which in addition to offering an extensive menu also boasts a 3,000 sq. ft. covered outdoor patio overlooking the 18th green.

The resort features several great dining options, including the fine-dining Bien Shur, Council Room (all day menu), Thur Shan Buffet, and the P’A Shur Deli. In addition to in-room or private dining, guests can also grab drinks or lighter meals at a host of other on-site spots like the Tlur Pa, Ba Shie, and Bien Shur lounges.
