Course Description

Santa Ana Golf Club, Inc. is one of the several Santa Ana Pueblo Tribal enterprises. It consists of Santa Ana Golf Club, Twin Warriors Golf Club, Prairie Star Restaurant & Wine Bar, Wind Dancer Bar & Grill and Atush at Twin Warriors. The Pueblo of Santa Ana is a Native American tribe with reservation lands that include a strip of New Mexico's fertile Rio Grande valley. The members of Santa Ana, the Tamayame (the name of the people in our Keres language), have lived in their present location approximately sixteen miles north of Albuquerque, New Mexico, since at least the early 1500s. Since the early 1980s the Pueblo has actively pursued a strategy of developing tribal enterprises, seeing economic independence as crucial to maintaining and safeguarding their traditional concepts and values.We invite you to enhance your visit by enjoying our Pueblo Partners, the Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel and the Hyatt Regency Tamaya, just minutes from the courses.

What is considered a good score at Cheena/Star?

With a course rating of 70 and par 72, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 72 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.

What type of course is Cheena/Star and how should I play it?
