Golf in Deming

Deming sits in Luna County at roughly 4,300 feet on the Chihuahuan Desert floor near the I-10 and I-11 intersection, a border-adjacent community that functions as a regional hub for southern New Mexico. The city is known outside the region for the Great American Duck Race, an annual festival since 1980. The Mimbres River drainage east of town carries deep archaeological significance, with Mimbres pottery representing one of the most studied pre-Columbian ceramic traditions in the Southwest. Rio Mimbres Country Club provides recreational golf in the warm, dry conditions that allow year-round play in most seasons — winter temperatures rarely fall below freezing, and the expansive desert sky keeps conditions bright and clear.
