Rockwind Community Links

Hobbs, NM — Rockwind Community Links in Hobbs, New Mexico, is a groundbreaking golf facility designed by Andy Staples, embodying his innovative "community links" concept. Opened in 2015, this award-winning course features an 18-hole championship layout and a 9-hole par-3 course, seamlessly blending midwest and desert golf styles. Staples' design philosophy focuses on engaging the entire community, creating a versatile and accessible golfing experience. The championship course offers five sets of tees, ranging from 7,100 yards to 4,100 yards, catering to all skill levels. It's characterized by a unique fusion of tall trees and a stream reminiscent of midwestern courses, alongside harsh native desert areas, bent greens, and bluegrass fairways.

Beyond golf, it features a surrounding trail system, further integrating it into the community. Rockwind Community Links is a testament to how golf can serve as a vibrant community hub, offering a diverse and enjoyable experience for everyone.
