DESERT COURSE RATINGS ...

[Craig Van Egmond]

Anybody know if Black Mesa is playable in the first week of April?  I'll be in Sante Fe that week.

Thanks!

Craig:

BM is at a mile elevation -- best bet is to call the course. Snow is possible but likely the course should be open.

Craig,
Your biggest risk in April in New Mexico would be high winds. By that time of the year the chance of snow is minimal. I think the average high by then is close to 65.  The winds tend to come up in the afternoons and can cause dust storms and be 40+ mph, but most mornings are great.
