William Tucker designed the North Course portion of the property, and the Championship Course opened in 1967, carved into steep desert land with waste areas and native vegetation bordering the fairways. The course plays to a par of 72 across 18 holes and stretches to about 7,555 yards from the back tees, with wide fairways that rise and fall and greens guarded by uphill approaches and bunkering. It has hosted several NCAA championships and the annual William H. Tucker Invitational. The course is open to the public, with reduced rates for UNM students, faculty and staff. A driving range, short course, pro shop and event pavilion are available on site.

Sandia Golf Club is a high-desert course north of downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico, developed by the Pueblo of Sandia as part of the Sandia Resort and Casino. Architect Scott Miller designed the course, which opened in June 2005 and stretches to roughly 7,750 yards from the back tees, among the longest in the state. The routing winds through rugged desert terrain with 48 bunkers and green complexes set against views of the Sandia Mountains, the Rio Grande and greater Albuquerque. The course is largely treeless, so wind and elevation both affect club selection. Sandia operates as a resort course managed by OB Sports, open to the public with a Pueblo-style clubhouse, restaurant and full practice facilities adjoining the casino property.
