Chamisa Hills Country Club, Rio Rancho

This private club is one of the top-rated courses in the area. With an impressive layout, challenging course, as well as tennis and banquet facilities, it is an experience in itself. It also has opened the Trevino nine-hole course to the public, and at present, 27 of the club's 36 holes are open at select hours. The course surrounds several lakes, and has a number of major elevation changes. The Sandia Mountains offer a beautiful backdrop from at least a third of the tee boxes and the New Mexico climate makes year-round golf possible.
