Wasatch State Mountain Course
Rated as the most beautiful course in Utah every year. Playing up the mountain, the first 7 holes climb over 2000 feet, and the final 8 play back down. This is THE must play while here. Turkey, deer, hawks, mountain streams, great golf and amazing views from start to finish, you have to love this course. Take one or two extra clubs going up the mountain and less coming down. Putts tend to break significantly toward the valley.
Best Holes – Wow, this is tough, there are a ton of them. #3 really gets things going. Dogleg right par 4 where you really should stay left off the tee. The second plays at least one extra club. Stay below the pin and don’t go right. The green slopes hard back to front. Par or better through here and you could be in for a good day. #8 is the first down hill hole. Par 5 that works left to right. Aim just right of the lone fairway bunker, the rough right kills anything slightly right of center. Trust me here, the green slopes away from the mountain. #12, hit it high and let if fly, the ball stays in the air forever. Keep the tee shot left. A two tiered green that slopes left to right. Great mountain hole!
Wasatch State Lake Course
The Lakes Course is a very enjoyable course at the base of the Wasatch Mountains. Well-designed holes and a good variety keep your interest. Eight lakes and numerous streams run through this course. Great course to walk. The course itself is a very good test and is used for numerous state tournaments. The greens are medium sized and subtilty sloping. You don’t need to overpower this course, it is great fun, fair and you need play a complete round to score here.
Best Holes – #6 is a good medium length par 3. Be sure to take enough to carry the pond. Just a beautiful setting and very good golf hole. #14 is one of my favorite par 5s in the area. A hard dogleg right. You will be tempted to try and cut the dogleg but this is not a good bet. Those trees grab anything down the right and leave you with nothing. Two well struck shots on the correct line and you can get home, any mistake brings double, or worse, into play.
While you are there – The clubhouse patio is a fantastic setting. Good food and cold beer. This is my spot for a birthday meal. A Mountain Dog at the halfway house on the Mountain course is a must. Great hot dog. Be sure to drive back to Park City by going over Guardsman Pass, it takes and extra 10 or 15 minutes but the views are stunning.
A fun and visually enjoyable Johnny Miller designed golf course located in Lehi. The Jordan River meanders through the course. Lots of mounding, large bunkers and greens. The course is kept in very good condition. Links Magazine rated it as one of the tip “Hidden Gems” in the country.
