Gorgeous day at Paako Ridge. The course is immaculate. A great track right up there with Pebble Beach and Spyglass. Make sure and play the correct tees. Don’t be a hero. Hit it straight as sometimes 10 yards offline can find you in the forest. Have fun.

Awesome course with really challenging fairways and greens. Super scenic and the staff was really great. Take cash for tipping but everything else you need a card.

Paako Golf is an absolutely amazing course—breathtaking views and top-notch conditions. The staff was incredible, especially Morgan. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of from the start. Great vibes all around. If you’re looking for a premier golf experience in New Mexico, this is it. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

I have had the pleasure to play out here a few times. This is a gem for New Mexico. The course is beautifully designed, with stunning views of the Sandia Mountains. The layout is challenging yet fair, offering a great mix of elevation changes and well-placed hazards. The course conditions were impeccable. The fairways are always lush and well-maintained, and the greens were fast and true. Remember it always breaks away from the mountain. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into keeping this course in top shape. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed f…

Joe the Manager, Tia the attentive waitress, and the talented culinary team created an unforgettable Mother’s Day Brunch at Paako Golf Club. From the impeccable service to the mouthwatering dishes and breathtaking mountain views, every detail exceeded expectations. Nestled on the scenic far side of the Sandia Mountains, this hidden gem offers one of the finest dining experiences near Albuquerque—at a surprisingly reasonable price. If you haven’t discovered it yet, you’re missing out on the best-kept secret in New Mexico dining.

This is our second time at Paako. The first time we played golf and ate lunch and this second time we just came for lunch. We had the mussels, eggs Benedict, chicken friend chicken and eggs, steak and eggs, baked oysters, hamburger, and Cesar salad with a crab cake as a side to my hamburger. The mussels are phenomenal and I definitely recommend trying them. This time they were a little bit spicier but it was amazing! I am not disappointed eating here. Paako has great food and an amazing view. Nice for a date or Sunday brunch.

Restaurant Review Only: Stopped here for lunch on my way from Los Cerrillos and decided to grab a bite to eat. The valet and restaurant staff were very friendly and inviting when I arrived. I chose to sit out on the patio in the shade with a great view of the course. Joe was very attentive and friendly, which added to the nice ambiance. Joe suggested the Lobster Roll, which I ended up getting, and was so glad that I did. The lobster was sweet and tender, and the French fries were fresh along with a nice spicy aioli that i requested. The margarita was nice and refreshing, especially since it wa…

Paako is an incredible course to play, but tonight I went to their restaurant and it was incredible! The restaurant has an amazing view of the sandia mountains and the food was delicious. I expected good food, but I did not expect the huge portions! I had the lamb shank, which was massive and perfectly prepared. My wife had the salmon and loved it. We both had enough leftover that we have lunch for tomorrow. The servers (Joe and Emily) were kind and professional. All in all, a great night out!
