Golf

The Golf Club at Redlands Mesa. The 18-hole, Jim Engh–designed championship course sits in a natural desert setting at an elevation of 4,600 feet in the shadows of the Colorado National Monument, just minutes from downtown. Sunset across the monument is spectacular, and the game is a challenge of red-rock walls and sloping stone formations. 2325 W. Ridges Blvd., Grand Junction, Colorado, 81507. 970/255–7400; 866/863–9270; www.redlandsmesa.com. $79. Reservations essential.
