PARK CITY GOLFING

Beside skiing, no other sport has defined people lives than golf. There are many communities in and around the Park City area built around this lifestyle. From private gated communities to public courses, there is something for everyone when it comes to living the golfers way of life. Check out the 10 different courses listed below.

PROMONTORY

Estates West Magazine says about the current Pete Dye designed course: "Altogether, it's a stunning and memorable course." And Travel & Leisure Golf Magazine writes "there are six sets of tees (including one for juniors), ample saddled fairways, greens that could be measured not in square feet but in acreage and nary a railroad tie or pot bunker in sight."

Jack Nicklaus does it again. His highly anticipated golf course is scheduled to open in 2006. Set against a mountain backdrop in Promontory's scenic Painted Valley, the course has been carefully planned to delight the senses and reward players of all abilities. Frequently ranked among Golf Digest's Top 100, his signature course at Promontory is very likely to follow suit.

PARK CITY MUNICIPLE

Consistently ranked as one of the premier public golf courses in the intermountain region, Park City Golf Club offers a challenging game at one of the state’s most enviable locations. First built in 1963 as a nine-hole course, this William Neff, signature golf course was redesigned to its current 18-holes in 1976. The Summer 2003 opening of an updated #18, redesigned by William Neff Jr., promises to reveal what we believe will be one of the classic finishing holes in Utah. In addition to providing professionally designed and well kept greens, Park City Golf Club’s elevation of 6700 feet can actually add distance to your shots while you play on a course that is typically 10 to 15 degrees cooler than most courses in the area—a definite bonus during the hot summer months.

Season-long pastoral beauty, with tree lined fairways and eight lakes and ponds, offers just the right setting to make the Lake Course a favorite for high, low and “no” handicappers.

SOILDER HOLLOW - Midway

Soldier Hollow's two mountain golf courses are the newest addition to the Wasatch Mountain State Park.

Golfers and non-golfers alike will enjoy the beauty of the facilities, the new clubhouse with floor-to-ceiling windows and the onsite restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Gene Bates Golf Design provided the unique design, which boasts native Utah vegetation, one of the longest courses in the state and the originality of being the only golf course built on an Olympic venue. Along with other Bates' projects — from Florida's wetlands to the coastal regions of California and the rocky desert of southern Utah to the Green Mountains of Vermont — Soldier Hollow's 36-hole complex is sure to become a favorite Utah golf destination.

MOUNTAIN DELL - Salt Lake City

When the original 18-hole layout at Mountain Dell was expanded and a 36-hole facility opened in 1991, the Lake Course incorporated the majority of the new holes sculpted out of the Wasatch Mountains by renowned architect William H. Neff and PGA Tour consultant Mike Reid. The Lake Course at Mountain Dell features narrow, rolling fairways and dramatic tee shots over deep ravines and water, which place a premium on precision and accuracy. Using the natural terrain, many holes on the Lake Course are carved out of the scrub oak and native bushes while providing breathtaking views and strategic challenges.

The Lake Course is situated at 6,000 feet above sea level, so long hitters can go for the par-4 fourth green, which measures 371 yards from the blue tees and 310 yards from the whites. It is a picturesque, dramatic, risk-reward opportunity that ranks as one of the most memorable holes on the golf course. After an exciting day of golf, stop by the clubhouse and visit the lounge and pro shop, or take advantage of the on-site instruction offered. The mountain setting and clubhouse facilities provide the perfect venue for banquets and post-tournament receptions.
