Membership at Alto

As human beings, there is nothing more wonderful than feeling like we belong, that we are an integral part of something.  This feeling is why we so fiercely love our family and friends - we belong with them. This is what membership at Alto Lakes means. When you join our club, you become part of our family! Here at Alto, we love and appreciate our family of members and staff, and we delight in welcoming new members to our growing Alto "clan."

There are endless opportunities for enjoyment and belonging here at Alto... what are you waiting for?  Become an Alto Lakes member today!

"We have had a second home in Ruidoso for 19 years prior to buying in Alto Lakes Country Club.  We have always loved the area and look forward to using all of the amenities the CC offers to us.  This will be our happy place and retreat from the busy life we have in Austin, TX.  We are looking forward to our new life in Alto, enjoying the beauty surrounding us, the cooler weather in the summer, the slower pace from the city life, and the new friends we will meet."

~Bubba & Anne Shaw

There are plenty of perks when you become a member.  Aside from the beautiful scenery, Alto offers two stellar Championship 18-hole golf courses, an Executive Hybrid golf course (no par fives), and Pro golf staffers.  We are an incredibly active and growing club, with multiple associations and a vibrant social scene.  Alto is well on our way to becoming a mainstay in the area for live music performances - we host national acts year-round and have recently upgraded to state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems.  If you're more interested in culinary experiences, then look no further!  Our staff here at Alto go over and above for our members, and our kitchen prides itself in producing world-class, mouth-watering cuisine.  We are in the process of updating our pool area to a modern, much-improved Aquatic and Fitness Center.  The Outlaw at Alto Lakes, and Kokopelli at Alto Lakes, our sister clubs, offer robust Tennis and Pickleball scenes, as well as golf and dining (dining coming soon to Kokopelli).

"We chose to purchase in alto lakes because of the tremendous amenities available to residents here. We know of very few communities that offer two (with the possibility of THREE) golf courses! Once we found the house, it really was a no brainer."

~Charles Stetson IV & Lisa Friedrich
