Golf in Eunice

Eunice is a small Lea County oil-patch community near the Texas state line in the flat southeastern corner of New Mexico, at roughly 3,500 feet on the Llano Estacado. The Permian Basin petroleum economy defines the region — pump jacks are as common a sight here as telephone poles, and the boom-bust cycles of the oil market have shaped Eunice's demographics for a century. The surrounding landscape is famously flat and semi-arid, with wide-open skies and persistent wind that define high-plains golf conditions across this corner of the state. Eunice Golf Course provides recreational golf for local residents without the full infrastructure of a country club, offering a straightforward community layout in a city that is economically small but geologically sitting atop extraordinary petroleum wealth.
