Lots of Waiting to Play Golf

With the opening date of the new golf course north of Highway 70 being delayed by the Las Cruces City Council indefinitely, local golfers are finding long lines, slow play, and tee times before the heat of the day hard to come by. Players stack up often in the Las Cruces area, particularly on the weekends. The photo (right) shows just how packed tee boxes at Sonoma Ranch become on Saturday mornings. Below is a view of the stranded new golf course, which has been kept off limits by a bureaucratic red tape and a string of city council votes. The City Council will have another opportunity to allow the golf course to open when it votes on a "resolution" Tuesday.
