Sonoma Ranch
Southern New Mexico's Newest Golf Course Community
If you feel it is time to treat yourself and your family to the good life, look no further. 
The state-of-the-art golf course designed by Cal Olsen of San Juan Capistrano, California is the centerpiece of the Sonoma Ranch Community. It is the first new golf course built in the City of Las Cruces in the past 50 years. The course is a challenging 18 holes and compares with many of the well-known resort courses in Arizona. The Clubhouse, Pro Shop, and Grill are new and offer the finest services in the region.
The Sonoma Ranch community is a prominent master-planned community that features a mix of residential neighborhoods, fine homes, golf course estates, and specialty multi-family dwellings. The National Association of Home Builders has recently awarded Sonoma Ranch five (5) Silver Medal Awards for Master Planned Community of the Year. This is the first time a master-planned community in New Mexico has been awarded a Medal in this prestigious competition.
Whether or not golf is your game, everyone can enjoy the spectacular views of the Organ Mountains and the peaceful tranquility of the open spaces offered by the golf course and the surrounding high desert mesas. If you love to walk, jog or bike, you will love the eight-foot wide concrete paths that allow you that early morning or evening escape into nature.
. The convenience of Sonoma Ranch is an important part of the appeal of the community. Shopping, medical facilities, and the local schools are within minutes of your home
A host of Las Cruces' finest builders have purchased lots in Sonoma Ranch, and you can choose from pre-designed and built homes. Or, you can buy the lot of your choice and select your own builder to have the home of your dreams built. The diversity in custom home design adds to the special look the community has already developed while retaining the architectural pueblo style of the Southwest. Lots vary in size and price. Streets are oriented to take advantage of the mountain vistas and golf course views.
When all phases are completed, Sonoma Ranch will encompass approximately 909 Acres. The community has been a great initial success. In the first year and a half since opening in October-1999 over 200 lots have been sold.
