Directions:
I-25; exit east on Coal Ave., 2 blocks to a right on Spruce. 1st/9th tees by playground.
PROS: I liked this course, despite hearing a couple poor reviews before I played it. Nice grassy, hilly terrain with some great elevation shots through huge old trees (only course in ABQ with great shade cover in the summer?). Nice tee pads, nice baskets, and good signage also make this course fun to play.
CONS: A lot of similar shots in terms of orientation and distance, but they are fun drives. Because the park isn't very large and because there are 10 baskets for 18 holes, there are some fairway criss-crosses around the multiple use pins- which translates to the course potentially having a lot of crossfire situations when it's crowded- be alert- or play during low course traffic.
I give this course 3 LINKS.

4 LINKS: GREAT. These are the courses you want to live near- great quality park, layout, tees, baskets, etc.
5 LINKS: EPIC. This rating is reserved for only the best courses in the world. A MUST PLAY course.
