Overview

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.

“Very solid Tom Fazio designed track. Definitely top 5 in the state of Utah. Great routing throughout, with some very challenging holes. Greens contours are challenging yet fun. Shot making is tested extensively."

Review

“An excellent collection of holes that will challenge the scratch player but won't overwhelm the regular members. There are safe routes to the greens and closely mown bailouts around the greens, but to score well, a player will need to be very precise with approach shots and putting."

Review

“Glenwild is an aesthetic gem with really good conditioned fairways and greens. This Fazio design a really strong Par 3s (though I wish one of the par 3s was a shorter one-shotter) and with the elevation changes coupled with firm fairways, you'll be rewarded with distance on your tee shots."

“Top 200 GD course that is one of Fazio's lesser designs. Pick the right tees or you can get beat up!"

“Course is visually stunning during the fall months when the trees change colors and the native grasses have turned brown. Tom Fazio design with smooth greens that roll true. Beautiful mountain setting."

“Great championship course with difficult greens but fair for the lower handicap players. Can be windy which increases difficulty."

“Beautiful mountain course. Very playable layout even from 7600 yards with the increased carry of shots at 7000 feet elevation."

Review

“Spectacular and tough layout in the mountains around Park City. Altitude provides little assistance for this long and varied course, green complexes are large and heavily contoured."
