Sandia Golf Club

Golf was a big factor in where my husband & I chose to stay for our weekend getaway & I'd say this place mostly delivered. With snow still hitting in April, we were looking to vacation somewhere close that could replicate an AZ or Palm Springs golf vibe.The course was a beautiful green oasis we got to enjoy while playing & from the view in our room. The staff were also super nice. The only dings I'd give the course is the 4.5 hr round which one sort of expects for pace of play at a resort course. The more important bummer was the sparce snack shack. They have a tasty looking, large menu of hot & cold options but on the day we played they said they could only make us hot dogs. This was a fully booked Friday afternoon with all the cart girls out so we fully expected the snack shack to be up to par.

I have been to the Sandia golf club restaurant three times now and I absolutely love this place. First off the ambience of the patio with the sweeping views from east to west is gorgeous. The staff here is extremely accommodating and very very kind and warm. The kitchen does a superb job of creating wonderful dishes from their breakfast lunch menu. Prices are listed on the menu with tax already included. I will be back again and again and again. I have brought family here and Friends and everyone has felt the same as me. We are fans.

Played on a Thursday morning @ 7:30am while at the resort with my wife for a business convention. The course is beautifully maintained, and it's a tough one if you've never played it. Lots of desert in between and along all holes. Bring extra balls, for sure! The greens were the fastest I've ever seen. The carts are nice with a 10" GPS monitor. Kind of sucked that you can't drive the cart to your vehicle to unload your clubs, but the attendants do wipe down your clubs for you after the round. $75 green fees include cart & complimentary range balls. September is a prime time of year to golf here. Not very crowded, and 80 degrees for a high.

Not many golfers can score a quadruple bogey on hole 17 and bounce back with a birdie on hole 18. But that's the way Jimi does it. The best part about Sandia is the fairway funnels (love that band) that guide your errant shots back towards the middle. The course is scenic, the tee boxes are well maintained, and the greens and green. Ladera could learn a thing or two on the last point about actually having grass that is green. Automatic refills on your driving range balls like a restaurant that gives free refills on your soda. God bless America. 5 stars

I initially had a very wonderful and special wedding day. The venue is beautiful and the staff was accommodating. However, my one star rating is caused by a wedding crasher stealing our card box of wedding cards during our event. I don't realistically expect to recover any of the cards or gifted money that was stolen, and based on the lack of information gleaned from the security cameras, the likelihood the culprit is identified is null. However, I did want to provide my experience for anyone planning future weddings, so they can make sure it doesn't happen to them.The frustrating part of our experience is that our wedding planner had checked multiple times prior to and leading up to the ceremony if there would be adequate security present during the event and had even inquired if we would need to pay for additional security, which the venue reassured they would provide adequate security. Secondly, on viewing the security footage of the theft, there were several coincidental characteristics about the theft that do not sit well with us: the person being able to avert his face from the cameras, his vehicle license being non visible to any of the cameras, the route & method he entered/exited the venue, and his knowledge of the wedding happening at the day/time that it did. Also, after the theft, we were told this has happened before on the Sandia Resort side of the house.We filed our police report the night of the wedding, but like I mentioned, we don't expect to recover anything.I had a wonderful wedding experience that was unfortunately blemished by something that I think should have been very easily avoided and after learning this had happened before, my initial forgiveness thinking the theft was just bad luck has turned into frustration at the lack of accountability from the resort for allowing this to happen.

Super nice well manicured golf course with very nice staff and lots of pretty girls to assist with food, drinks and club care. Might be the best golf course I have ever played. One complaint is the practice range is noisy because a maintenance cushman cart would drive by about every 3 minutes. Seemingly for no reason. Two of the carts were the same guys who looked like they had nothing to do. I'm not joking in the hour I was there they drove by like 10 times each.

Sandia is probably my favorite course in town. The 18th hole is the best hole you can play in Albuquerque if you have a slice. The course is challenging, and a blast at the same time! Don't veer off into the mesa with your cart as the GPS will stop you instantly! The GPS cart lock's suck, but I understand why they have them. The speed governor on them also sucks, but nothing you can do. It's a pricey course, but you get range balls and a cart included.

Tough, rugged course that is beautiful. Really great staff. If you're not a fareway hitter you might struggle, as many holes are pretty narrow.

Great staff, wonderful amenities, and amazing food/snacks. The course is challenging but fun. Will definitely be back.

The course was great, however, it was 100 degrees out and they had NO water on the course. I spent roughly $60 on bottled water. Kind of ridiculous. Most courses including some in the area have water coolers or bottled water available.
