Golf Membership Types Explained So You Can Pick the Right One
Redlands Mesa offers six membership options: Young Professional, Individual, Couple, Family, Corporate, and Family Pool. Every membership includes access to the family pool.
Choosing the right membership comes down to how you play and who you play with.
- Young Professional — built for golfers who are early in their career and want a home course in the valley
- Individual — a straightforward option for the solo golfer who plays regularly
- Couple — covers two players who want to share a membership at Colorado's top-ranked public course
- Family — ideal if you want the whole household out on the course together
- Corporate — designed for businesses that use golf to build client relationships and host company outings
If you just moved to Grand Junction or you've been here a while and are ready to commit to a home course, we make it easy to find the right fit. Our golf course in Grand Junction CO sits below the Colorado National Monument with championship-level terrain and views you won't find anywhere else in the valley. Call us or stop by the pro shop and we'll walk you through which option makes the most sense for your game.
How To Tell if a Golf Membership Saves You Money Over Pay-Per-Round
Here's the easy way to figure it out. Add up what you spend on green fees in a year. Then look at what a membership costs. If you play twice a week or more, the membership almost always wins.
And in Grand Junction, you come out ahead even faster. Our mild falls and early springs give you extra weeks of golf that players in Denver or up in Summit County just don't get. More rounds for the same price.
Let's say you pay $125 a round and play twice a week from March through November. That's about 70 rounds and over $3,100 just in green fees. A membership that covers unlimited rounds, the driving range, and league play often costs less than that — and you get to book your tee times first.
If you're on the fence, keep track of your rounds for a month or two. Most golfers in the Grand Valley hit the break-even point quicker than they think.

What To Expect During Your First Month as a Golf Member
Signing up is simple. You can fill out a form online or swing by the pro shop and take a look around. Staff will show you how to book tee times, where the practice areas are, and what member events are coming up.
This is also a great time to get to know the other members and the staff. Golf in Grand Junction is a community thing. The guys and gals you meet in your first month are usually the ones you end up playing with for years. Ask about men's or women's club play, scrambles on the schedule, and any clinics that come with your membership.
Key Factors To Compare Before You Commit to a Golf Club
Price matters, but it's not the only thing to look at before you join a club.
- Course condition: Walk the fairways. Check the greens. Out here in Mesa County, water rules can affect how well a course keeps its turf. If the grass looks good, that tells you the club is putting in the work.
- Practice areas: A solid driving range, a practice putting green, and a short-game area make your membership go further. You want somewhere you can work on every part of your game — not just play rounds.
- Family access: Some memberships let your spouse and kids play too. Others charge extra. Ask up front.
- Event calendar: A packed schedule of tournaments, leagues, and social events means the club has an active group of members. That's the kind of place where you'll feel at home.
- Pro shop and lessons: PGA-qualified instructors, custom club fitting, and a well-stocked pro shop are extras you'll use all year.
Play a round. Take the tour. Talk to a few members. The right club should feel right from the first time you pull into the parking lot.
How Members Keep Their Game Sharp Year-Round in the Grand Valley
One of the best things about a golf membership in Grand Junction is that you can practice almost all year. The Bookcliffs block the cold north wind, and that keeps the Orchard Mesa side of the valley playable later into winter than most folks expect.
Members who stay active during the slower months hold onto their skills instead of starting over every spring. Hit the driving range to keep your swing loose. Spend time on the practice putting green when the afternoon warms up. Use the chipping areas to keep your short game tight.
Winter clinics and small-group sessions help you stay sharp when the days get shorter. Some clubs offer reduced golf rates and fees during the off-season, making it easier to take advantage of simulators and indoor practice options even when it's cold outside.
The golfers around here who get better year after year are the ones who don't take three months off. They treat winter like part of the season — not a reason to stop.
