Desert Lakes Golf Course is a par-72 public course in Alamogordo, NM, established 1953.

Desert Lakes Golf Course serves Alamogordo, the Otero County seat, a city of roughly 30,000 at 4,350 feet in the Tularosa Basin. White Sands National Park lies 15 miles west — the vast gypsum dune field that gives the region its most dramatic identity. Holloman Air Force Base operates nearby, and the broader basin has long been tied to missile testing and aerospace research. The Sacramento Mountains rise abruptly to the east, creating a visual backdrop of considerable scale. Desert Lakes likely reflects the basin's engineered water management, providing enough moisture to sustain turf in a landscape that receives only 12 inches of annual precipitation.
