What is Cloudcroft Mountain Disc Golf Course like?
Cloudcroft Mountain Disc Golf Course is one of 55 PDGA-listed courses in New Mexico, and one of 2 in Cloudcroft itself. The layout runs 18 holes to a par of 54 over 3,852 ft, averaging roughly 214 feet per hole. That is short enough that a putter and a mid-range will cover most of the round.
The terrain is desert/open — open desert terrain, which puts the emphasis on distance with unforgiving rough. There is little to stop a disc once it lands, and the rough is genuinely rough, so accuracy is worth more than the open fairways suggest.
ThrowSpot rates the course moderately demanding overall, making it players who have their form mostly sorted. Expect a genuine test without being punished for every miss. This is the level most recreational players score best on. Most groups finish in about 110 minutes, though a busy weekend morning can add half an hour of waiting on the tee.
What discs should you bring to Cloudcroft Mountain Disc Golf Course?
For a course like this, a putter and one or two mid-ranges covers the majority of shots. Leave the high-speed drivers in the car. There is rarely room to use them, and a controlled mid-range will out-score a driver you cannot place.
If you are not sure what matches your arm speed, the disc selector converts your throwing distance into a speed ceiling and specific mold recommendations. Because the fairways are open here, it is also worth checking the wind calculator before you play on a breezy day.
