Paa-Ko Ridge is an incomparable 18-hole championship golf course designed by award-winning architect, Ken Dye. The course is situated in the New Mexico high desert on the east side of the Sandia Mountains at elevations ranging from 6,500 to 7,000 feet. Surrounded by mountainous terrain, the layout of the course features landing areas and greens separated by scenic arroyos, high desert vegetation, and rock outcroppings. Your skills will be challenged by several wild downhill holes routed through ponderosa and pinion pines, and juniper trees. With five sets of tees allowing play from 5702 to 7562 yards, Paa-ko Ridge can be enjoyed by everyone and it is no wonder it is widely considered the best golf course in New Mexico.
