The Top Four Golf Courses in Grand Junction, CO.

Grand Junction boasts an average of over 300 sunny days a year. Combine the ample sunshine with generally mild winters, and golfers are able to play nearly all year round. The favorable climate pairs perfectly with the red rock canyons, desert mesas, and lush green valleys of western Colorado. 


Because of these ideal conditions, Grand Junction is home to a lot of different golf courses that each have their own unique features and challenges. In this guide, we’ll go over the best golf courses in Grand Junction to help you spend as much quality time on the green as possible.



Redlands Mesa Golf Course


Escape the city for a minute by driving the desert slopes to Redlands Mesa. The greens of the golf course contrast with the red rock buttes looming in the distance, and it makes for a beautiful golfing experience.
