XXX Review of "Battlement Mesa"

BATTLEMENT MESA, Battlement Mesa, Colorado: This is another hidden gem. But the course is almost sitting on scenic Interstate 70, about an hour east of Grand Junction, so you'll find it. It was originally commissioned by Exxon when they had too much money in the 1980's, during the last oil shale boom in the area. Come to think of it, the big E is still doing alright. Anyway, the '80s boom went bust but the course survived. Bad for the local economy, good for the public. The layout is a Joe Finger/ Ken Dye design and a top 10 public course in the state (says Golf Digest). RATINGS: 73.4/130 COST: $59 including cart
