Paa-Ko Ridge Golf Club has been
selected as one of the Top 100 Modern Courses in America by GolfWeek
Magazine which has just published their seventh annual list
of America's Best Classical and Modern Golf Courses for 2006.
The award-winning course was listed as #23 in America among over
10,000 "modern courses" which includes all courses built
since 1960. Paa-Ko Ridge was also selected by the publication
as the #1 Public Access Course in New Mexico. Last year, Paa-Ko
Ridge debuted on the Top 100 Modern list at #69. The big jump
this year places Paa-Ko ahead of numerous well known courses as
well as several great Southwest courses such as, Troon North,
Grayhawk,The Broadmoor, and many others. The magazine uses 10
steps in its rating criteria of America's Best 2002, including
"quality of feature shaping, natural setting and overall
land plan, variety and memorability of the holes, and basic quality
of conditioning."

Top 100 Public Golf Courses in a new book recently published by
Powers Golf and written by Joe Mackin and Rick Lipsey of
