In summary

Gene Torres Golf Course at Highlands University is praised for its engaging course design, particularly the challenging layout of hole #8, and its welcoming staff, with many visitors highlighting the friendly service. The course is considered a good value, with well-maintained fairways and greens, though some note the bunkers could use improvement. The on-site Fusion Tacos restaurant is also a popular amenity among golfers. However, a few reviews mention inconsistent conditions and customer service experiences.

Played 9 holes in late October 2025. Course is totally open, seven days a week, from mid March through mid November. $20 walking. They have a driving range, buckets are cheap. The restaurant fusion tacos is great, I go to the one in ABQ. Conditions were really good, except for the bunkers, which were out of sand and overgrown. Still work as hazards though, often backed by long grass rough. The course was redesigned by Jeffrey Brauer In 2008. I'm a fan of his work at painted dunes in El Paso (five stars) and sand creek station in Kansas. Same style of green complexes surrounded by grassy mounds…

Awesome Golf Course. From beginner to advanced players, this course is great for everyone. Bonus is Fusion Taco's is on property so work up an appetite golfing and then stop in for some amazing food afterwards!

Great course design with plenty of challenges. The famous hole #8 aka "the Dolly Parton" is worth the price of admission all by itself.
