The Santa Fe CC is on the southwest side of Santa Fe just east of the airport on Airport Road and in a scenic setting with the Sangre de Cristo mountain range in view throughout the round.

The golf course is a classic parkland design by Tom Bendelow from the 1930s tucked in between two residential developments with homes lining the exterior holes on a roomy tract of land along unique and isolated fairways. The fairways are generally straightforward with scattered trees and natural terrain at the broad borders. There's several water features in play and sand bunkers generally at the sides of the oval or kidney shaped greens. The course plays to 7,113 yards from the back tees, from the whites it's 6,321 yards, 68.4/120 course and slope ratings.
