Rainmakers Golf Community

Filed under: Estates


The Rainmakers Golf and Recreational Community is located at 7,000 feet up in Ruidoso, New Mexico. The $30 million community will include an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II championship golf course, a theater for the performing arts, walking trails, a trailhead center with spa, fitness and swimming facilities, a clubhouse with a restaurant and lounge and a 135-acre wildlife habitat and conservation easement. The grounds include ponderosas, pinon pines and juniper and views of Sierra Blanca and the Sacramento and Capitan mountains.

Real estate options include townhouses, patio homes and estate home sites. The development is also making a green effort with energy-saving construction, environmentally-friendly soil technology and property-wide water conservation initiatives. The golf course is the only Audubon Signature Member golf course in New Mexico. In order to be an Audubon Signature course the management had to demonstrate environmental management practices in areas like water conservation and wildlife habitat management. Townhouses will be priced from the mid-$300,000's to the low $500,000's and 186 building lots have an average price of $110,000.
