Pinion Hills Golf Course 2101 Sunrise Parkway Farmington, NM 87402 (505) 326-6066 |
With a green fee topping out at $29, Pinion Hills is the best golf value in the country.
Tucked among the mesas, desert washes and pueblos of northwest New Mexico, this 18-hole gem plays 7,249 yards from the tips and boasts a slope rating of 140.
The course is the brainchild of architect Ken Dye and features many memorable holes, including No. 8-a par 5 that requires a straight drive to avoid grass bunkers on the right corner of the dogleg. On the approach, accuracy is a must as the green is protected by sand all along its left side.
