Steve Hendley, Golf Course Superintendent

Lake Carlsbad Golf Course is located at 901 N. Muscatel Avenue. The nine hole par 3 course runs along the Pecos River and the regulation 18 hole course is situated in the foothills east of the river. At 6,120 yards, the par 72 regulation course is not long, but the tight fairways, changes in elevation, and small greens offer a variety of challenges for our customers, no matter what their skill level is.

Several new tees have been added in recent years to add length and difficulty. The course is irrigated primarily with effluent water from the City of Carlsbad's Waste Water Treatment Facility. Composting of solid waste at this same facility provides Humus for application to tees and fairways.

The par 3 course is 1,300 yards long, par 27, and presents holes varying from 80 yards in length to 230 yards. The course is easily played in under an hour and is ideal for beginning golfers, seniors and junior golfers. The pro shop staff can be reached at (575) 885-5444 to obtain tee times, or for information on tournaments, lessons and merchandise. The hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to sunset.
