The Links at Sierra Blanca

The Links at Sierra Blanca is a par-72 championship course located in Ruidoso, New Mexico, built on the site of the town's original airport. Designed in 1991 by Senior PGA Tour player Jim Colbert and architect Jeff Bauer, the course uniquely blends Scottish links-style golf with mountain scenery.

The front nine features rolling fairways and dramatic mounds characteristic of traditional Scottish courses, while the back nine winds through towering pines, providing a more secluded and forested challenge. The layout accommodates golfers of all skill levels, offering both accessible play and strategic difficulty.

The course operates year-round weather permitting, situated amid the mountain landscape of northern New Mexico. Its design philosophy combines the aesthetic and playability of classic links golf with the natural terrain and pine forests of the high-elevation setting. The Links at Sierra Blanca serves as a regional destination for both local players and visiting golfers seeking mountain golf experiences in the Southwest.
