Black Mesa Golf Club

This is a beautiful golf course. I've played here several times, and it is very challenging. The views are amazing no matter where you're at on the course. The greens are fast and depending on pin placement can be exceptionally difficult. The staff at the bar & grill and clubhouse are exceptional. Very enjoyable course.

Played there for my birthday 4/12/25. What a ridiculously hard course! Layout was very challenging and it was hard to see where things went for a first timer. Super fun experience, but it was not in the best shape or even in good shape. It was $100 to play and I’d have to say it wasn’t worth it at this time. Would love to see it at its best.

Full price for what you could call winter conditions at best (had to move off multiple tee boxes, avoid sandy fairway areas, and move balls away from green issues). I was part of a group of 2 solos forced to ride in the same cart after requesting not to. This was the first tee time of the day without a full tee sheet for the day. Returned from 18 and there are no less than 20 carts still available. The lady running the place doesn’t seem to be too welcoming. Better courses in the area to give your money to IMO. Great setting and course layout. If there was more realistic view of their course and welcoming staff it would be a 5 star even with below standard conditions.

This is a very interesting course to say the least. We played on a sunny day in mid March. The front nine was very nice with no wind and made the course very playable. Right at the time we made the turn. The winds kicked up to being 20 to 30 miles an hour and things changed big time to say the least. I’m assuming it is windy all the time at this course because of how exposed it is. This is a warning of sorts if you do not like playing in wind, this course may not be for you as it becomes incredibly challenging and borderline unfair. I actually hit the ball incredibly well that day and still struggled to post around that even remotely reflected how well I played. I’ve read a bunch of negative reviews on here about the staff, but I found everybody there to be very nice, especially the starter. My biggest complaint about this course is that the design of the greens is simply out of whack, especially given the climate of the location. It was very dry in March to say the lease and I’m assuming it’s always that way. The greens are not getting watered and there is so much ululation and thus There are areas of the greens that are completely dead. I think it would’ve been much smarter to design the greens to be much flatter so this did not happen. I’m sure the greens are much different story in the summer when the irrigation is turned on, but the fact that this is in such a dry/cold climate Means that that isn’t the case for much of the year. I did give it five stars because I had a really great time and it is definitely a fun and interesting course.

Very challenging and exciting course plotted through some bands of sandstone. Radical hills, extreme greens, beautiful layout. I had a blast in march with winter conditions. I look forward to returning when the irrigation is on for the season. Highest recommendation
