For those who are planning to get the maximum time on the green during their next vacation to the Utah mountains, we’ve written the perfect guide for you. Come with us as we explore some of the top 7 best golf courses in the Park City area.
#1: Park City Golf Club
Don’t want to spend a pretty penny to have the ultimate mountain golfing experience? Check out Park City Golf Club, a municipal 18-hole golf course designed by the one and only William Neff back in the 1970s. This tree-lined course is not only incredibly scenic, offering views of the nearby Park City Mountain, but it is also quite challenging as well, with the elevation adding distance to your shots and tricky water hazards on just about every hole.
#2: Canyons Golf Course
Golfers looking for one of the most unique layouts in Park City will fall in love with the Canyons Golf Course, which features a majestic 18th hole located on an island amid the Willow Draw Stream. This challenging mountain course, located at Canyons Ski Resort, boasts over 550 feet in total elevation change across the course and many of its holes share terrain with the ski area, which only adds to the difficulty. No matter what your skill level, Canyons Golf Course will provide you with a one of a kind mountain golfing experience.
#3: Wasatch Mountain and Lake Golf Course
Anyone who is hoping to escape the hustle and bustle of the city to enjoy some golf in a natural setting will have a great time at both of Wasatch Mountain State Park’s courses. The ever-popular Lake Course, which opened in 1967, is the less-challenging of the two, though it is dotted with a total of 8 lakes and ponds that add a bit more difficulty. The Mountain Course, on the other hand, offers much more in the way of elevation changes and scenic views of the surrounding Heber Valley.
#4: Soldier Hollow Golf Course
Another option located in Wasatch Mountain State Park is the Soldier Hollow Golf Course, which features two 18-hole courses that vary in difficulty and elevation. You might know Soldier Hollow as a venue for the 2002 Winter Olympics, but during the summertime, there’s nothing but endless greenery to enjoy on either of these two courses. Check out the high-elevation Gold Course for a challenging mountain golfing experience or take on the flatter and easier play style of the Silver Course, which still offers the incredible views of nearby Mount Timpanogos.
#5: Park Meadows Country Club
Are you hoping for a swanky country club golfing experience while you’re staying in Park City? Don’t miss out on Park Meadows Country Club, located in the highly-desirable Park Meadows neighborhood in the heart of Park City.
Since 1983, golfers have flocked to this course, and for good reason–it was designed by Jack Nicklaus and features elements often found in Scottish links-style courses, making it a challenge for golfers of any skill level to take on. With huge, sweeping greens that are always well-maintained and a number of water hazards for you to avoid, you can spend an endless amount of time getting to know this course, all while enjoying the natural scenery that surrounds you in the midst of Park City.
#6: Jeremy Ranch Golf Course
Want to golf on a Signature Arnold Palmer course? Take a trip to Jeremy Ranch, located in the Wasatch Mountains to the north of Park City. This private course boasts challenging elevation changes and forested fairways, with some water hazards provided by the beautiful East Canyon Creek as it runs through the course. If you’re finding yourself more challenged than you’d like to be, there are multiple tee boxes so that you can play at your best, no matter what your skill level. Overall, Jeremy Ranch is a fantastic place to go if you’re looking for some quiet and beautiful golfing near Park City.
#7: Promontory Club Golf Courses
The final private club on our list offers not one, but two championship golf courses for you to try your hand at–the Dye Canyon Golf Course, designed by Pete Dye, and the Painted Valley Golf Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus. For those looking for the ultimate challenge, the Painted Valley course has become known as one of the toughest in Utah, with its links-style flow and the need to send the ball incredibly far distances. However, you can’t go wrong with either of these courses next time you’re visiting Park City.
