About the course

This course is on a military installation, so you will need CAC access, be escorted by someone that has access, or undergo a background check and come on yourself. Once you’ve gotten your background check, you will not have to have another one during future visits. IT’S WORTH THE 5 MINUTE WAIT! There are two gates to get on Post; Las Cruces gate off HWY 70 on Owen Road, and the El Paso Gate on 213 accessed by taking the MLK Jr BLVD exit off of HWY 54 in El Paso.

I showed up, did a background check, and was told the course is on a part of the base I was not allowed to access. Called the number for Outdoor Recreation, and this was pretty much confirmed with a shrug. I wish it was more clear in this course listing that you cannot play this course if you do not have Military Base access, the background check for a civilian is not sufficient to access the course. Save yourself the drive!

Some of the scorecard distance were 100+ feet short. Though most were right. It’s a beautiful course regardless. Thanks Army for the challenge
