The Country Club Community is extremely quiet and noise ordinances are strictly enforced. Please be respectful of the quite enjoyment of your neighbors as sound carries in the canyons.

While Alto provides visitors and residents that "away from it all" feeling, we are conveniently located just 1 mile from the turn off to Ski Apache and Ruidoso Winter Park, 2 miles from Alto Lake, and 12 miles from Ruidoso's bustling Midtown and Grindstone Lake.


Lincoln County is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts with great golf, live horseracing in summer months, and dozens of trails open year round for hiking and biking.

Step back in history and take a tour of Billy the Kid's stomping grounds on the Billy the Kid Scenic Byway or take a day trip to nearby White Sands and other great state parks! From mountain peaks to the desert basin, we have it all!


Driving access is generally easy to moderate and all roads in the Country Club are paved. Some areas around Ruidoso and Alto are hilly to mountainous but generally easy to get around year round.
