Leadville

Golf

Mt. Massive Golf Course. Play North America's highest 9-hole green at 9,680 feet—and watch your distance increase in the thin mountain air. Just west of Leadville in the Arkansas River valley, this public golf course was opened in the 1930s to the delight of the mining community. True green fairways replaced sagebrush flats after a $50,000 grant in the 1970s heralded an automated irrigation system. 259 Hwy. 5, Leadville, CO, 80461. 719/486-2176. www.mtmassivegolf.com. Reservations essential. 9 holes. Yards: 3150. Par: 36. Green fee: $23/$36.
