| _ | | _ | | | Climate is our best asset. The course is playable year-round. Warm temperatures in the winter are comparable to Las Vegas, while summer temperatures are noticeably cooler than Las Vegas. The desert good weather is dependable, with disruptions by rain or cold very infrequent. The setting for Green Spring is spectacular, with breathtaking views. Tucked into colorful backdrops of red rock cliffs, the course is laced with red rock canyons and refreshing ponds. Majestic Pine Mountain hovers over the entire scene to dominate the view to the North. More distant vistas are the mountains of Zion's Park to the East and Arizona to the South. It's a great setting for golf. Slope = 130 / **** | | | _ | | _ | | | Kokopelli Golf Club is named after the legendary Anasazi god, Kokopelli, known as the amazing trickster. While exploring the deep gorge that cuts through the course, his image was found chipped into the dark volcanic rock. He declared his right to reign over this ancient realm. Many have been tricked into thinking the area is flat with only sage brush and rocks, but on closer inspection, you will see a wonderland of diverse terrain with deep gorges, streams, waterfalls, and pristine beauty. Since he's also known as the Casanova of the Southwest, he casts his spell over those visiting the course, and they immediately fall in love with the mystic gorge and its surroundings. | | | _ | | _ | | | St. George Golf Club is a unique design that winds its way through the Ft. Pearce Wash. The course is one of the better layouts in the area and is perfect for those golfers who like to walk and wish to mix a little exercise with their round. The most prevalent features on the golf course are the challenging par 3's over water and the peninsula that hosts both the par-5 9th green and the par-4 18th green. Even though most golfers will have a short iron approach into these two greens, accuracy and distance control are at a premium.

Like a siren, the course beckons with its beautiful plush fairways winding through the preserved wetlands of the Mesquite flat amid glimpses of the Virgin River. Players don't stand a chance; CasaBlanca is the first thing they see (to the right) on the main road leading into the city from Las Vegas. Desert wildflowers accent ryegrass fairways, bent-grass greens, white-sand bunkers and glittering lakes that catch the eye and don't let go. And the 7,011-yard, par-72 resort course is not only beautiful; it's made to be fun for all, as five sets of tee boxes are set to accommodate all players. Slope = 130 / **** | | | _ | | _ | | | Blaze your own trail to Conestoga Golf Club and experience a spectacular layout that meanders through natural arroyos and is highlighted by natural wonders that include mesa, rugged rock outcroppings and jaw-dropping elevation changes. Dramatic vistas of Flat Top Mesa and the Virgin Mountains are plentiful from all areas of this stunning layout. Fifty-one strategically placed bunkers will test shot-making abilities of every golfer at Conestoga. There is one lake that comes into play on two holes. Abbott Wash and Pulsipher Wash come into play on five holes. Course architect Gary Panks said "Conestoga truly benefits from wonderful natural features that will remain untouched". | | | _ | | _ | | | Set amidst the beauty and splendor of southwestern Utah, Coral Canyon was designed by golf course architect Keith Foster to provide a rare opportunity for players to enjoy luxurious golf on the doorstep to some of the world's most famed natural wonders. Coral Canyon's 7,029-yard, par 72 layout features 100 acres of turf, 55 sand bunkers, two lakes and a labyrinth of dry washes through the course, offering players a variety of risk/reward opportunities that are critical to an exceptional golf experience. Slope = 137 / **** | | | _ | | _ | | | Falcon Ridge Golf Course is the latest track to soar onto the Mesquite golf scene. Nine holes opened on the Kelby Hughes designed course on Feb 1, 2004 and the back nine opened in October '04. The front nine, which features bentgrass greens and Tif 419 Bermuda with rye over-seed fairways, winds seamlessly through the bluffs of north Mesquite. A par-5, measuring 500 yards, opens the nine with bluffs coming into play from the opening tee shot. Overall, Falcon Ridge Golf Course will be played for its unique challenges, and for its irresistible beauty. Slope = 131 | | | _ | | _ | | | Originally named the "The Vistas 9", the Canyons course now offers 18 holes. The Canyons brings out the character of its natural setting. The large fairways and Bermuda greens make the course player friendly and a refreshing change of pace. The challenge starts with the first hole, a long par five with a narrow sloping fairway that requires length and accuracy (so you might want to hit a practice bucket before you play). Five of the next six holes have water, and the eighth hole presents a beautiful elevated tee box dropping 100 feet to the green below. Slope = 129 | | | _ | | _ | | | Golfers playing the Palmer at Oasis Golf Club won't be surprised to hear that this challenging and scenic wonder was created by Arnold Palmer. And the best advice is vintage Arnie: hitch up your trousers or skirt and go for it. The Oasis has several elevated tee boxes with dramatic shots to slot canyon fairways that meander through the foothills surrounding northern Mesquite. The narrow fairways are accented with many bunkers, water hazards, and undulations that leave the golfer with few level lies. But nothing looks or feels artificial here as Palmer used the natural landscape to provide all the drama. Slope = 141 / **** | | | _ | | _ | | | The 18-hole "Championship Course" at the Sand Hollow Golf Resort in Hurricane, Utah was designed by Jon Foyt and opened in August 2008. The course blends with the natural landscape, winding among sand dunes and stands of red rock. In addition to the adjacent dunes and rock outcroppings, the course provides golfers with stunning views of the peaks of the Pine Valley Mountains. Sand Hollow's 26,000 square-foot, full service clubhouse overlooks the Championship course and the 9-hole Links course. Nestled next to a red rock mountain, the clubhouse features a pro shop and banquet rooms as well as a restaurant offering patio dining. | | | _ | | _ | | | Golf Digest twice rated Sunbrook as the best golf course in Utah. This rating is a result of a number of elements including scenery, challenge, quality, and service. With the addition of the Black Rock Nine, Sunbrook is the only golf club in southwestern Utah to feature 27 championship holes. Slope = 134 / **** | | | _ | | _ | | | The Palms was the first course built in Mesquite and gets credit for igniting the fuse that created the golf explosion here. Set amidst a desert landscape of sagebrush and tumbleweeds, the course offers an island of palm trees and lush green fairways with a number of daunting water hazards. The Palms provides golfers with two contrasting nines: the front nine has fairly flat wide fairways with small lakes providing a precision challenge. The back nine takes full advantage of dramatic elevation changes, offering incredible vistas, but the serendipity must be occasionally interrupted by forced carries over unforgiving canyons. Most memorable is the 536-yard 15th hole, a par-five that presents a 114-foot drop to the fairway below. Slope = 125 / **** | | | _ | | _ | | | Valderra (formerly The Ledges Golf Club) opened in March 2006. The Matt Dye, the nephew of famed architect Pete Dye, designed golf course is quite spectacular from a design point and offers awe-inspiring views of Snow Canyon from many of the holes. St. George, Utah is becoming a major golf destination with high-profile golf designers now putting their names on new golf courses in the area. Slope = 134 | | | _ | | _ | | | Located between Las Vegas and Mesquite, Coyote Springs Golf Club is the first golf course in a planned series of Jack Nicklaus-designed courses that will flow throughout the Coyote Springs community. The course plays to a par 72 and ranges from 5,349 yards from the forward tees to 7,471 yards from the championship tees. Eleven lakes come into play on the golf course many consider to be one of Nicklaus' finest desert creations. | | | _ | | _ | | | NOTE: Must be a guest at the Inn at Entrada to play this course. Is it the scenery or the challenge that excites you? Towering multi-colored sandstone cliffs stand guard over Entrada's Johnny Miller Signature Golf Course. Nestled amidst a desert tapestry of ancient lava flows, deep canyons, and gently sloping hills, the golf course is the centerpiece of Southern Utah's premiere gated golf course community. Entrada was designed to offer golfers an unforgettable world class golf experience. While the par-72 golf course plays a challenging 7,280 yards from the championship tees, 4 additional sets of tees provide an appropriate choice for golfers of all skill levels. Slope = 132 / **** | | | _ | | _ | | | Imagine standing on a small patch of grass 11 stories above the desert floor. The sky turns a deep orange color as the sun disappears out of view. You look around and see nothing but red-rock canyon walls, glistening waterfalls, and lush green fairways. All golfers have their list of "must play" public courses and Wolf Creek Golf Club at Paradise Canyon has quickly become one such course. Ranked #22 in the "2003/2004 America's 100 Greatest Public Courses" as voted by Golf Digest. With dramatic elevation changes and breathtaking views, the Wolf Creek experience is nothing short of spectacular. Slope = 154 / ***** | | | | | | |
