The University of New Mexico will host the 2008 Mountain West Conference Women's Golf Championship on April 17 - 19, 2008 at the UNM Championship Course. This marks the first time the league tournament has been held in Alburquerque.

Since it was officially opened in 1967, The Championship Golf Course has been one of the finest facilities of its kind nationwide. It has been nationally recognized by Golf Digest Magazine as one of the top-25 public courses in the country, and in January of 1991 Golfweek Magazine rated all public and private courses in the country by state, and dubbed The Championship Course the number one course to play in New Mexico. The Course is still holding strong in the rankings seven years later, and in 1998, Golfweek tabbed the Championship Course No. 2 in the West, behind only the Stanford University Golf Course in Palo Alto, Calif.

The Championship Course is no stranger to major tournaments. It was the site of the 1950, 1976 and 1992 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships, as well as the 1998 NCAA Championships. In 1987 the course was the sight of the women's NCAA tourney.
