Golf in Lovington

Lovington is the Lea County seat at roughly 3,900 feet on the Llano Estacado, the administrative center of New Mexico's most oil-dependent county. The city's character reflects the petroleum-and-ranching social fabric common across the southeastern corner of the state — practical, self-sufficient, and closely tied to land and energy economics that have defined Lea County since the early twentieth century. The Bob Crosby Memorial State Park and rodeo grounds reflect the agricultural heritage that preceded oil. Lovington Country Club serves the private membership market for professionals and agricultural families, operating in a community where such clubs have traditionally provided the primary social and recreational anchor alongside religious institutions. Wind and flat terrain are the defining environmental conditions for golf here.
