Alto Lakes Golf and Country Club is a private golf community with sprawling vistas, lush pine forest, and breathtaking mountain and canyon views. The Country Club Community is extremely quiet and noise ordinances are strictly enforced. Please be respectful of the quite enjoyment of your neighbors as sound carries in the canyons.
While Alto provides visitors and residents that `away from it all` feeling, we are conveniently located just 1 mile from the turn off to Ski Apache and Ruidoso Winter Park, 2 miles from Alto Lake, and 12 miles from Ruidoso`s bustling Midtown and Grindstone Lake.
Lincoln County is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts with great golf, live horseracing in summer months, and dozens of trails open year round for hiking and biking.
Step back in history and take a tour of Billy the Kid`s stomping grounds on the Billy the Kid Scenic Byway or take a day trip to nearby White Sands and other great state parks! From mountain peaks to the desert basin, we have it all!

Driving access is generally easy to moderate and all roads in the Country Club are paved. Some areas around Ruidoso and Alto are hilly to mountainous but generally easy to get around year round. During winter months, guests are encouraged to have access to 4-wheel drive and/or snow chains in the event of a major winter weather event. For extended stays, travel insurance is always recommended.

    We came in for a golf tournament. The house was exactly what we needed. I liked that all rooms seemed to have a shower for the most part. Only issue I had was in the back room the plugs were so worn out my chargers would just fall out of the wall. This was a pretty big problem with a sockets through the house. Definitely something to fix but the rest of it was great. Would for sure stay again.

    Highly recommended!! Beautiful home especially master bed/bath and living area. Owner responds quick and assists with any help needed. Place is very comfy and game room in the back is nice! Only downside is disposing of your trash in this area is inconvenient and kitchen/cooking utensils are a little limited.
