Paako Ridge was designed by Ken Dye and expanded to 27 holes in 2005. It is currently rated the best public-access course in New Mexico by Golfweek. This gives players the chance to drive long distances across high desert terrain.
This is a good thing because, even though Paako Ridge sits at 6,500 feet elevation, the main 18-hole layout can be extended to 7,562 yards. And besides being No. Paako Ridge is also No. 126 for all courses constructed in the U.S.A since 1960.
