Best golf courses near Park City, UT

Glenwild Golf Club & Spa sits on a meadow valley north of Park City, offering invigorating vistas of the Wasatch mountain range surrounding the community. Tom Fazio was given first dibs on the land for his 18 holes, with developers agreeing to plot homesites only after he’d completed his routing. So he clustered holes together, positioned some holes along a couple of irrigation lakes and linked the lakes via a network of streams and cascading waterfalls. The far rough framing holes consists of native sagebrush, along with patches of flowering purple flax and transplanted aspen, chokecherry, maple, willow, spruce and Austrian pine. Enough trees were transplanted to define targets, but not so many as to block panoramic views.

Built on the mountainside above Midway, Solider Hollow is a 36-hole facility with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and valley below. The challenging Gold course has dramatic elevation changes and can tip out at over 7,700 yards. When the 2012 U.S. Amateur Public Links was played at Soldier Hollow, 17 holes from the Gold course were used along with one hole from the Silver course.
