Gene Torres Golf Course

Gene Torres Golf Course in Las Vegas, New Mexico, places a premium on accuracy over raw distance, with a creek winding through the layout and native grass framing several holes.

The opening hole offers a generous landing area but hides two fairway bunkers along the mid-left side, while the creek tracks down the right before crossing in front of an elevated, separated green that must be carried on the approach. Another hole bends sharply right and asks for a carry over native grass and the creek directly off the tee, making position off the tee more valuable than length.
