What the Media are Saying...
"Massive fun at North America's highest golf course: Does the golf ball go farther
at high altitude? You'll just have to visit the highest golf course in North America
to find out. At 9,680 feet, the 65-year-old Mt. Massive Golf Course, at the base
of the 14,421-foot-high mountain for which it was named, also sits just a few miles
from the historic mining town of Leadville."
