Golf in Leadville

Leadville is Colorado's highest incorporated city, situated at over 10,000 feet of elevation in the upper Arkansas River valley and known as America's highest city. The former silver and gold mining boom town hosts Mount Massive Golf Course—the world's highest-elevation course—where golf above 9,700 feet challenges every convention of normal shot-making and attracts golfers from across the country seeking a bucket-list high-altitude experience in a landscape defined by the surrounding fourteeners of the Sawatch Range. The city's twin distinctions as Colorado's highest city and the home of world's highest golf course attract a steady stream of golf adventurers who combine the physical challenge of altitude with the historical richness of the Leadville mining era, including the famous Matchless Mine and the ice palace that once stood in the city center.
