New Mexico Tech Golf Course

New Mexico Tech Golf Course is a par-72, 6,685-yard public course in Socorro, NM. From the Blue tees it plays to a 71.1 rating and 123 slope.

New Mexico Tech Golf Course serves the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology campus in Socorro, a Río Abajo community roughly 75 miles south of Albuquerque at around 4,600 feet on the Rio Grande. "Tech" students — engineers, scientists, and technologists — form the primary user base, giving the course an intellectually oriented community feel uncommon in most university golf programs. Socorro retains an old territorial character; the San Miguel Mission in the historic plaza dates to the seventeenth century. The 18-hole layout operates within a campus context where outdoor recreation is one of the quieter amenities available to a focused academic community.
