3 Reasons Why You Will Love Mountain Golf

August 19, 2024

Golfers of all skill levels won’t want to miss a good round of mountain golf. Angel Fire Resort is proud of our high-altitude golf course with epic views.

There are also a few other great perks at Angel Resort Golf Course. We have new golf carts that incorporate Tagmarshal, a GPS tool that enhances the player experience through pace and flow of play management. Golfers can also spend as much time as they’d like on the practice greens and range before and after their rounds. Make sure to stop in for a drink and some food at Par and Grill. And don’t miss our Pro Shop for some great golf gear.

Wondering why we can’t say enough about mountain golf? See the three reasons below.

1. Your ball will go farther at higher altitudes.

Golf balls travel farther at higher altitudes because the air density decreases as elevation increases, which reduces drag force on the ball. This allows the ball to move more easily through the air and doesn’t slow down as quickly, resulting in greater distance. It’s science! Who are we to argue with science? Angel Fire Resort’s golf course is situated at 8.600 feet above sea level. So get ready to play some of the best golf of your life on our high-altitude course.

2. Encounter a magnificent natural setting.

Mountain golf courses come with a view! Come tee off surrounded by the majestic southern Rocky Mountains. You’ll even catch glimpses of Wheeler Peak, New Mexico’s tallest mountain. The front nine incorporates a longer-playing layout that meanders through two unspoiled canyons of aspen, spruce, and pine, while the back nine offers links-style play with smaller greens and plenty of bunkers. The signature hole, #6, places the golfer on the tee box 200 vertical feet above the green, 239 yards away, surrounded by groves of aspen trees and towering pine.Β  These gorgeous panoramas and abundant wildlife are sure to make your round a memorable one.

3. Truly have a regenerative experience.

Away from traffic and crowds, you’ll find a real sense of tranquility and relaxation playing mountain golf. Replace your stress with fresh air, moving your body, and beautiful views. Savor the moment. Relish the game. And finish hole 18 feeling refreshed.


We can’t wait to see you on the course for a beautiful day of mountain golf. Book a tee time today.
