Check out Roosevelt Park (Coal & Sycamore ?) near the university. Saturday or Sunday mornings the locals play pretty regularly. You have to get there early to avoid the crowds of non-golfers. Also, check out Ladera (West side near Unser & Ouray). Regular play out there, not sure on the time though.

There are quite a few good players in Albq. Some of those older guys can still light it up and turn in good scores. Then when you add the Santa Fe crowd, the talent pool skyrockets!

They have a website, I'm not sure of the address. I'll try to find it and post it.

Maybe this will work and get you to their website - http://members.aol.com/lorick5/nmdgc/index.htm

Or you can contact any of those e-mail addresses and I'm sure they will set you up. They have a very good group of players there and for the most part they are good people.
