Bookcliff Country Club

Venue Overview

Bookcliff Country Club is a private golf and social club in Grand Junction, and the only full-service private club on Colorado's Western Slope. Its 18-hole, par-71 championship course was originally designed by Henry Hughes and wanders through a parkland setting with sweeping views of the Bookcliff Mountain Range and the Grand Mesa, the world's largest flat-top mountain. Thanks to the Grand Valley's minimal annual snowfall, Bookcliff is able to offer golf amenities essentially year-round, giving members one of the most consistent golf seasons in western Colorado alongside a full slate of swimming, tennis, pickleball, and dining amenities. The beauty of a golf membership at Bookcliff is accessibility, whether that means a full 18-hole round with fellow members, a quick two or three holes over a lunch break, or simply time on the practice facilities to work on your game.

About the Course

• 18-hole, par-71 championship course originally designed by Henry Hughes
• Plays at just over 6,600 yards, with lush fairways offering very little roll
• Heavy bluegrass rough and water hazards add character throughout the round
• Views of the Bookcliff Mountain Range and the Grand Mesa
• Greens regarded as among the fastest on the Western Slope
• Private, membership-based access with a parkland design well suited to walking

Practice Facilities

Members have access to on-site practice facilities to hone their skills between rounds, along with pull and electric golf cart rentals, though the course's walkable parkland design appeals to golfers who prefer to walk. Bookcliff's Golf Professionals provide guided instruction for beginners and seasoned golfers alike, and the club's practice-friendly layout makes it easy to sharpen a specific part of your game without committing to a full round.

Dining and Amenities

Bookcliff Country Club offers full-service dining alongside its golf, swimming, tennis, and pickleball amenities, with banquet event space available for private functions. The average round of 18 holes takes roughly 3.5 to 4 hours for a foursome, keeping the pace of play brisk without sacrificing the enjoyment of a full round. Beyond the course, members can take advantage of the club's pool, fitness center, spa and massage services, and court sports facilities, along with dedicated programming for kids and families throughout the year.

Lessons & Instruction

• Bryan R. Marshall, PGA — Head Professional
• Alfonso Rivera Jr., PGA — Assistant Professional

Bookcliff's golf operations are led by Head Professional Bryan Marshall, PGA, alongside Assistant Professional Alfonso Rivera Jr., PGA. The professional staff offers guided instruction for golfers of every level, from beginners to seasoned members, along with a robust junior golf program that covers the game from A to Z.

Tournaments & Events

Bookcliff hosts a full golf schedule for both men and women throughout the season, along with education and practical instruction on the game. The club is also home to the Colorado West Amateur, one of the Western Slope's marquee amateur events, and its Troon Privé affiliation connects members to additional golf and travel benefits at Troon-managed clubs and resorts around the world. No need to spend six hours on the course either; Bookcliff's design and pace of play are built to keep members' love of the game alive without the frustration of a long, drawn-out round.

Planning Your Event Here

Given its private, membership-based structure, hosting an event at Bookcliff Country Club requires member sponsorship rather than open public booking. Members interested in organizing a group outing, tournament, or banquet should coordinate directly with the golf shop or club staff to arrange tee times, dining, and event details.
