Arroyo del Oso (ADO) is a municipal golf course traversing a scenic setting in the Bear Canyon Arroyo in northeast Albuquerque between Academy and Montgomery with 27 holes.
The golf course is a parkland design moving along tree-lined fairways separated by desert terrain with multiple water hazards in play. The par 3s are long, the par 4s require a range of clubs to reach in regulation, and the par 5s are full three-shotters. The course has an array of sand traps with the Bear Canyon Arroyo in the center of the layout making for a challenging round. The main course is 6,545 yards Par 72, 72.3/125 course and slope ratings from the tips; the Dam 9 plays to 3,300 yards, 69.4/108 from the tips, both with three shorter tees. The initial 18 holes opened in 1965, designed by Jack Snyder, the Dam 9 opened in 1987, designed by Richard Phelps.
