This event was a 'first' for the State, and the host course is brand new as well. Open to the public, Sierra del Rio Golf Course at Turtleback Mountain Resort was the only new golf course to open in New Mexico in 2007. And was nominated by Golf Digest as one of the best new public courses of 2007. It is just two hours south of Albuquerque and an hour and a half north of El Paso.
