More Than Redlands Mesa Golf Course in Grand Junction CO

More than the Redlands Mesa Golf Course in Grand Junction CO

I know that “Redlands Mesa Golf Course” is the second most popular search term on the Internet for golf courses in Grand Junction CO. But there are several more that deserve exploration and a tee time reservation.

Redlands Mesa Golf Course

While it’s commonly called Redlands Mesa Golf Course its official name is the Golf Club at Redlands Mesa. Either way, it was voted the #1 Golf Course in Colorado by several sources. It’s located in the area commonly known as “the Redlands” by the locals. You can read my post about the Redlands community that sits at the base of the Colorado National Monument and offers the new Redlands 360 planned community development. Mesa County Residents (with ID) will receive a 30% Discount on greens fee rates!

Course description from their website…

“Perhaps Golf Digest sums up the course best, ‘Positioned beneath the slopes of jagged buttes south of Grand Junction, Colorado, in the shadow of the towering pink and red sandstone face of the Colorado National Monument, Redlands Mesa is like playing golf along the bottom of the Grand Canyon, with a couple of sojourns to the Garden of the Gods thrown in.’ The Golf Club at Redlands Mesa is a spectacular course that occasionally overwhelms the senses in its grandeur. Over one-third of our 500 acres is part of our sprawling, world-class golf course. You’ll discover stunning, dramatic vistas throughout, as well as 11 elevated tees and 37 bunkers. Our unique hole shaping ensures challenges for all skill levels on this championship-grade course.”

Even if you don’t golf, from experience I recommend you go to the club house Ocotillo Restaurant + Bar that’s perched over the course for a delicious iced tea, lemonade, cocktail or ice cold brew. The views are outstanding as well as the food. Schedule a meetup there just for fun! Of course, the course is top-notch as well. Watch for golf carts as you drive through this beautiful golf community. Golfweek and USA Today readers voted Redlands Mesa as the BEST Golf Course in Colorado! World-class golf that’s scenic, fun, and challenging. They offer clinics and lessons, multiple leagues, tournaments and offer a great venue for weddings and parties of all kinds. You can learn about membership, rates, book a tee time and more on their website https://redlandsmesa.com.

Tiara Rado Golf Course

The city of Grand Junction operates two local golf courses, 18-hole Tiara Rado and the 9-hole Lincoln Park Golf Course. Tiara Rado is in the Redlands area as well, right at the base of the Monument.

“The Tiara Rado golf course is challenging for golfers at all levels, with four tee locations, numerous water hazards, and a short but naughty moat hole. It has an 18-acre practice area, golf cars, pull carts, lessons, rental clubs, and a full-service pro shop. Tee times may be made seven days in advance by calling (970) 254-3830.”

Visit this joint website to book a tee time and learn more about both city golf courses.

Lincoln Park Golf Course

The most searched for golf course in Grand Junction is the Lincoln Park Golf Course just off North Ave. near the Grand Junction VA Medical Center and Stocker Stadium. This city golf course location offers a wonderful walkable 9-hole course to test your golf skills, with smooth-rolling, subtle breaking greens. Lincoln Park Golf Course has six sets of tees. They have a full-service pro shop as well as a snack bar. Lincoln Park also offers golf carts and pull carts for rent. Appointments are available for PGA Professional lessons. You can book your tee time online at the website above. Carts may not be allowed during winter months.

Chipeta Golf Course

The Chipeta Golf Course encourages golfers to “enjoy golf again.” On their website they describe it as “an 18-hole, executive course (par 59) with picturesque views of the Grand Mesa, Bookcliffs, Uncompahgre Plateau and the Colorado National Monument in Grand Junction, Colorado.” It’s a well-maintained course that welcomes golfers of all skill levels. They have leagues and lots of golf events throughout the year. They have season passes and a rewards program. You can book a lesson and your tee time on their website https://www.chipetagolf.com.

Bookcliff Country Club

Yes, there is a Grand Junction golf country club, Bookcliff Country Club, a country club with casual character. And where “Bookcliff” is spelled as one word, unlike the series of desert mountains and cliffs that make up the mountain range itself, that name appears as two words, Book Cliffs, on official maps. Strange, I know. But not as strange as our fractional street names, don’t get me started on that!

Bookcliff Country Club is the only full-service private club on the Western Slope. They provide outstanding facilities, programs, services and family-oriented activities of a typical country club. You can golf, play pickleball or tennis, workout in the fitness center and then relax in the spa or swimming complex before you enjoy a meal on one of their clubhouse decks.

“Bookcliff Country Club offers an 18-hole championship, par 71 golf course, originally designed by Henry Hughes, that wanders through a parkland setting with beautiful views of Western Slope’s Bookcliff Mountain Range and Colorado’s largest flat top mountain, The Mesa; also home to our closest ski resort. Thanks to our multiple neighboring mountain ranges the Grand Valley and Bookcliff Country Club are blessed with a minimal annual snow fall and on average we can offer golf amenities year round.” Woohoo, golf year-round!

The average play time for a round of 18 holes for a foursome is around 3.5 to 4 hours. Pull and electric golf carts are available for rent, but the use of a cart is not mandatory as the course’s parkland design appeals to the golfer who enjoys walking. The country club is near the Grand Junction Airport off Horizon Drive near G Road. Learn more about tournaments, leagues and membership on their website https://www.bookcliffcc.com/Home

Last, but certainly not least…

Adobe Creek National Golf Course in Fruita

Adobe Creek National is on 18 ½ Road near I-70 between Grand Junction and Fruita, technically in Fruita. Described on their website as “Three Nines set among breathtaking views! The Grand Valley’s only 27 Holes Golf Course with the Colorado National Monument in the backdrop.” They offer lessons, leagues, and events and “encourage you to enjoy the game of golf – with friends, over a beverage, with laughs and stories.” Adobe Creek National Golf Course offers year-round golf on three different nine-hole courses – The Mesa, The Monument, and The Desert.

Their website offers Daily Deals when you book your tee time online at https://www.adobecreekgolf.com. You can also join their Green Bucks Club to earn money back when you pay to golf. The course is a wonderful venue for weddings and all sorts of events and parties.

Adobe Creek National Golf Course specializes in creating fun golf outings of any size. They can create outing packages with various challenges like longest putt, longest drive, etc.

Golf in Palisade

No, I didn’t leave out Palisade. The closest regulation golf course to Palisade is the Chipeta Golf Course, it’s also near Orchard Mesa. If you want to golf in Palisade, you can try out the Riverbend Disc Golf Course located along the scenic Colorado River in Riverbend Park. Grand Junction has multiple disc golf courses to discover and enjoy.

Year-Round Golfing in Grand Junction

In case you haven’t heard the common phrase marketers use when describing the Grand Valley, it’s this… “You can ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon.” And I can tell you, that’s a true statement. Granted golfing in January can be chilly, but the strength of the sun here warms you as you hit the links on our mostly sunny days. Some area golf courses require you to walk during the months of December-February vs riding in a cart. I have a post about the Grand Junction weather with average monthly temperatures that you might also find interesting to read.

So, if you like to golf, or you have friends who might visit that like to golf, take your pick from these fine golf courses in Grand Junction and Fruita. The views and the experiences are spectacular. And if you’d like to live in a golf course community like the Redlands or others, let me know and I can set up a search of MLS listings in that area that meets your criteria. I focus on Grand Junction Real Estate as well as properties in Fruita, Palisade, Loma, Mack, Orchard Mesa, and even on the Grand Mesa!

Buying a Home in Grand Junction

Buying a home in Grand Junction

The process for buying a home in Grand Junction has changed with the NAR settlement requiring buyers to sign documents regarding representation and compensation BEFORE they even view a home. However, the need for working with the right real estate professional hasn’t changed one bit. In fact, it is more important than ever! Let me explain.

If you’re considering buying a home in Grand Junction, Fruita or Palisade it’s time to do some homework. Gone are the days of simply choosing an agent because they seemed nice at the open house or because they have been sending you recipe cards for the last six months. Buying a home in Grand Junction will be one of the biggest financial transactions of your life with more money on the line than ever before. Consumers can no longer afford to partner with part-time agents or those without the skills and expertise to help navigate you through to a successful closing.

My happy buyer clients!

Whether you’re buying a new home in Grand Junction as a current resident or relocating to the Grand Valley, I can help. I’ve spent my 24-year career successfully helping people buy their first home, upsize, downsize, build new construction, purchase vacant land, and secure investment properties.

My years of experience and number of clients might seem like great qualifying factors for working with an agent when buying a home in Grand Junction, but I offer so much more than traditional agents. My goal is not to “sell you a home”, but to find you the RIGHT HOME. While we tour homes, I am constantly pointing out things that will get flagged during an inspection, along with communicating what I see inside and outside, as if I am the buyer purchasing a property.

My job is to provide you with all the information I can so you can make an informed decision before you submit an offer. I understand the buying process, it’s second nature after assisting hundreds and hundreds of buyers over the years.

The importance of hiring the right agent to work with

In assisting buyers interested in buying a home in Grand Junction, Fruita or Palisade, I take a 3-prong approach to your journey.

My Relocation Buyers love their new house in Redlands 360 Easter Hill in Grand Junction

1) First, I make sure you understand the process at each stage of a transaction. From pre-approval with the right lender, utilizing the right loan, to what to expect from inspections, Radon testing, potential appraisal issues and other contingencies.

But where my skills really shine…

2) is in writing a purchase agreement that not only protects you, but is also attractive to the seller. I’ve worked in every type of market imaginable, and one thing I can always pride myself on… I have never been one of those agents who needed to write 10 offers for my buyer clients before we secured a home. I’m sure you’ve heard horror stories from unsuccessful buyers who literally gave up their home search out of frustration. “The market is just too difficult right now” is a common phrase heard. If that’s true, then how come the most successful agents are still finding success for their clients, even in the hottest of market conditions? It comes down to skill and experience. Two things that can only be gained through working with clients. You deserve more than to be an agent’s practice client while they try to figure out what works in this industry. I will clearly communicate what it is going to take to secure that home and only you decide which route to take with your offer.

3) My goal is to make you feel like your experience working with me was worthwhile, fun, educational, and that you understand that I have your best interest first and foremost at all times. I’ve never “sold” anyone a home, but I have successfully guided hundreds of people to make the best decision for them when buying a home.

Allow me to provide you with a home buying service nothing short of what I would do for myself.

That’s exactly what you’ll find when you consider building a home in the Redlands CO newest community, Redlands 360. The 600 acres of land encompassing this spectacular master planned community has long been renowned as a community gem. Originally envisioned to become an executive links golf course, the property has been hiked and biked by locals and visitors alike for the last 20 years as a privately owned but accessed space by the public.

Today, the excitement builds as the Redlands 360 community is currently offering homesites in Easter Hill and Canyon Rim 360 neighborhoods of the development. Upon entering the Easter Hill development you’ll immediately understand how the name Redlands 360 came about. The 360-degree views of everything the Grand Valley has to offer are on full display.

I’ve had the pleasure of assisting a relocation client through the Goetzmann Homes build process in Easter Hill. They found me because of this website! We met with the builder team when a spec home was just starting. My clients have been able to customize some of the finishes and modify the floor plan to fit their lifestyle. It’s been a wonderful experience working with a builder that has the experience and vision like Goetzmann Homes. The team, along with the builder, Phil, are great communicators that understand how to deliver a client experience and a home to be cherished.

Looking out the Living and Dining Room windows

If you’re planning to check out Redlands 360 Easter Hill in Grand Junction, be sure to stop by the Goetzmann model home which is tucked back into the development. Enter the neighborhood and turn right onto Culebra Drive. The model home sits perched above what seems to be endless mountain biking single track and hiking trails steps away. Goetzmann Homes has really done an incredible job of bringing nature’s beauty inside this model home and will do the same for you when building with them on any of their gorgeous lots. Large windows provide picturesque views that draw you in while providing a light and bright open feeling. With a gourmet kitchen, main floor owner’s suite, soaring vaults in the living room, and a finished walkout lower level, you’ll find all the space you need for entertaining and living your best life. Let’s be honest though… the covered deck off the back of the home is sure to be a favorite spot for everyone looking for a Goetzmann built home in the Redlands 360 community. Come to tour the Goetzmann model but stay to enjoy the views.
