The majestic mountains surrounding El Paso have earned a six-week festival, known as "Celebration of our Mountains." Events usually begin in October and include bird watching, nature hikes and drives, mountain biking and bat watches. There's even a "Coffee, hot chocolate, muffins, and the tramway" event.
Coronado Country Club is at the breathtaking crossroads in El Paso where Texas, New Mexico and Mexico converge. In fact, this hilly course boasts a 3,800-foot elevation that offers stunning views of the lands. Exciting play is always in store, thanks to the well-maintained greens that have a reputation as some of the fastest in the country. The 18-hole, par-72 course was built in 1956 on the Franklin Mountains in west El Paso. The Coronado Country Club has hosted Nike Tour events and PGA Tour players have been known to come to the course to practice for the Master's.
