Redlands Mesa in the News

Colorado AvidGolfer reflects on the countless mothers whose love, sacrifice, and belief have shaped Colorado’s golf community. For us, that sentiment resonates strongly — golf isn’t just what we do, it’s how we connect and carry forward the legacy of care, support, and shared joy.

Perched against the red-rock cliffs of the Colorado National Monument and framed by the Grand Mesa’s rugged silhouette, Redlands Mesa Golf Club has earned a distinguished place on the world stage — ranked 48th among the 50 most beautiful golf courses globally by Golf Advisor.

Redlands Mesa Golf Course proudly hosts the annual tournament for the Friends of GJ Union Depot, an event dedicated to raising funds for the restoration of the city’s historic downtown train station.

According to the group’s chairman, speaking with WesternSlopeNow, this is a project whose time has long come — a vital effort to preserve a treasured piece of Grand Junction’s history

Each year, the Rotary Club of Grand Junction brings people together on the green for its “Readers Become Leaders” golf scramble — a fundraiser with heart, raising vital funds for its Child Literacy Project. The event takes place at the stunning Redlands Mesa Golf Course.

Through this tradition, Rotary helps ensure that young minds in our community have access to books because in Grand Junction, a day on the links can open a lifetime of learning.

Redlands Mesa is honored to be recognized as the 83rd best course in the nation and the top-ranked course in Colorado — surpassing esteemed destinations such as Red Sky in Wolcott and the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. This ranking reflects not only the beauty of our landscape but the experience we strive to create for every golfer.

At Redlands Mesa, we believe great golf should feel inviting — not exclusive. The courses on this list share that same spirit. We may be celebrated, scenic, and masterfully designed, but we’re also a place where golfers can simply show up, tee up, and experience something unforgettable.
