Vista Hills Country Club

Vista Hills is a private track built by Bruce Devlin and Robert von Hagge in 1973. This is a fairly long, desert-style course that winds through a residential subdivision with out-of-bounds lining narrow fairways on many holes. Some holes have slight elevation changes and can leave you with uneven lies.

Hole 4 offers a nice touch: a 384-yard par 4 with an outstanding view of El Paso and Mexico. The long No. 17 has out-of-bounds on either side of the fairway, and a water hazard 100 yards out from the green. At 450 yards even a big drive leaves you with a long approach. The 13th hole is only 307 yards and doglegs right, which tempts you to cut the corner over the apartments.

Getting there : Take the Lee Trevino exit off of I-10. Turn left, and make another left when you come to Trawood St. The clubhouse is on the left side of the street.
