Top 10 Golf Courses
Here are my top 10 golf courses I have played in Utah. I would write about the top 10 that I have played, but most courses outside of Utah would rank 1-10 and I would have no mention of what Utah offers. I have played some awesome courses outside of Utah, and I will name a few to prove a point. I have played Whistling Straights in Kohler, Wisconsin and a few other courses there. I played Cypress Point, Spanish Bay, and Bayonet/Blackhorse courses in Monterey, CA. If I post all those, Utah would be left out. I am an 8-10 handicap and the quality of the course is just as important as the surroundings in my opinion.
Here is my top 10 with a few reasons why I like them. Sorry St. George that I left you out, but anytime I am down there I would rather ride my bike than golf. That says a lot because there are some fantastic courses there, but my favorite bike trail is Gooseberry Mesa located 45 minutes from you.
#10 South Mountain
9 out 10 times the wind will factor in the total score. Also, every lie is a challenge.
#9 Bountiful Ridge
Greens were spectacular. Never had a straight putt.
#8 Mountain Dell
Lake Course has some great holes for some great golf shots.
#7 Wingpointe
Links style course with a stiff wind.
#6 The Homestead
I know it’s a resort, but some of the scenery is spectacular.
#5 Valley View
Tricky Greens and for right handers most fairways slope away.
#4 Hobble Creek
Great place to fine tune the irons. If you’re not in the fairway, you’re not in play.
#3 Willow Creek CC
Fast greens and lots of trees.
#2 Wasatch
Wasatch climbs up because of the location of the course. In the canyon on the mountain side.
#1 Glenwild
Park City’s finest. The fairways are plush, the greens are fast and difficult to read. There are many course outside of Utah I would like to play, but I would choose to stay in state and play as many rounds possible at Glenwild.
