Turtleback Mountain Golf Resort Flyover Compilation

Turtleback Mountain Golf & Resort is a high-desert championship golf destination in Elephant Butte, New Mexico, near Elephant Butte Lake and Truth or Consequences. The biggest draw is the contrast: a lush golf course cut through rugged desert terrain with mountain views in nearly every direction. Golf course: It is an 18-hole, par-72 Richard “Dick” Phelps design, opened in 2007. Current published measurements put it around 7,300+ yards from the back tees, with a difficult back-tee rating/slope around 74.9/146. The layout mixes elevation changes, desert carries, water, bunkering and more traditional green corridors, so it rewards both distance and precise course management. The 2026 New Mexico Open at Turtleback Mountain Golf & Resort presented by New Mexico True returns September 14-16, bringing together PGA Professionals, elite amateurs, and many of the Southwest's top players for one of the region's premier golf championships.

Now in its 72nd year, the New Mexico Open has become one of the Southwest's most respected golf championships.
