ABQ. is an awesome place!
For golfers, it has some fantastic values that a lot of players from other locations...don't really know about.
Go to the other side of the 'Watermelon' mountains and play a round in the morning at PaaKo Ridge, have lunch in Old Town, then go eat dinner and admire the Native American Art (really, the only reason to go there

)...at Sandia Casino & Resort.
And then you can do the same thing for more than a week, without repeating the same locations...of awesome courses/lunch places/dinner/casino resorts.
