Welcome To Santa Ana Golf Club
Nestled along the banks of the Rio Grande beneath the Sandia Mountains, Santa Ana Golf Club offers one of the Southwest's premier golf experiences. Designed by Ken Killian and former PGA Tour professional Ken Green, the championship layout combines a links-inspired design with wide fairways, strategic bunkering, and some of the region's most challenging and rewarding greens. The course's natural setting, exceptional conditioning, and panoramic views have made it a favorite among both traveling golfers and local players for more than three decades.
Since opening in 1991, Santa Ana Golf Club has earned national recognition as a championship venue and has welcomed many of golf's most prestigious events. Alongside sister course Twin Warriors Golf Club, Santa Ana has hosted the PGA Professional Championship multiple times, including the nationally televised 2023 PGA Professional Championship, one of the largest all-professional championships in golf. The club also served as a host venue for the 2022 Senior PGA Professional Championship and continues to play an important role in PGA of America championship golf.
