Golf in Battlement Mesa

Battlement Mesa is a planned residential community in Garfield County along the Colorado River, developed during the oil shale energy boom of the early 1980s and maintained as a community of year-round residents on the Western Slope. Battlement Mesa Golf Club serves the community with daily-fee golf in the warm, semi-arid Colorado River valley climate, where the Roan Plateau provides the northern backdrop and the mild winters allow an extended season compared to higher-elevation Colorado communities. The Battlement Mesa development reflects the Western Slope's distinct landscape and climate character, with the warm Colorado River valley providing a golf environment unlike any found on the Front Range.
