Redlands Mesa
The Golf Club at Redlands Mesa is home to a championship golf course that ranks with some of the best and most dramatic in Colorado. Laid out on undulating arid terrain to the west of Grand Junction, this immensely scenic desert-style layout sits in the shadow of the towering pink and red sandstone face of the Colorado National Monument (a National Park).
Some have described it as playing along the bottom of the Grand Canyon ... perhaps there's some hyperbole in that, but don't underestimate the spectacle and extraordinary scenery of Redlands Mesa. Although this expansive roaming layout brushes alongside some large home sites, any housing cannot detract from the sheer majesty of the rugged desert environment.
Jim Engh's excellent design offers many stunning, dramatic vistas, which can be enjoyed from 11 elevated tees that play down to good width fairways. A few straightaway holes are combined with many interesting doglegging holes. Very occasionally ponds are in play, but more frequently your course management will need to factor in long wriggling fairway bunkers and small greenside pot bunkers.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Credit cards accepted. Contact club for full details, discounts, packages, etc. [Last updated: 2021].

Redlands Mesa is located just a short distance outside Grand Junction (also known as "River City"), where the Colorado River is joined by the Gunnison River, which comes in from the south. "Grand" refers to the historical Grand River, which was renamed the Upper Colorado River in 1921. "Junction" refers to the confluence of the two rivers.
Colorado's 17th best course (Golf Digest, 2023/24).
Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises.
