Canyons Golf Course at Park City Mountain

One of the best mountains in the West also boasts a modern golf course. Gene and Casey Bates, who have partnered with Fred Couples and Johnny Miller on other designs, opened the Canyons course in Park City in 2014, which utilizes the surrounding mountainous terrain and large elevation changes up to 550 feet. Though the layout is short, measuring less than 6,100 yards and played at elevation, there’s no shortage of challenge from navigating rumbled, meandering fairways, avoiding big misses with a number of large runoffs and longer par 3s.
