Hey guys,
I'm moving to Utah for the first of September from Halifax, NS, Canada and the clubs will be one of the first pieces of equipment coming with us. Anyone around that plays regularly? What courses do pes everyone frequent and some of the nicer ones? I won't be employed but my wife will be so looking to connect with some folks to get out for some rounds! We're moving into a new construction area in Midvale,UT.
Cheers,
Mike

Hey Mike!
I live in Sandy, which is just a bit south of Midvale. I am in higher ed, so unfortunately don't get to play as much during the school year. If you're looking for courses to play I can definitely give you some tips and hopefully we can get out to play sometime!

That's understandable. Here in Halifax, the school year you can't really play golf anyways haha, but I guess down there you may luck in. I will definitely take you up on that offer, I've been researching some which are close by and seem nice, but would definitely love to hear from some locals! Will definitely have to get out to play. We're moving to Midvale just close to the local trax station near the new Staybridge Hotel.
Great to hear from ya!

The practice facility I use is about 10 minutes from that area. River Oaks GC. It's a nice public track. The course itself isn't my favorite, but the practice facility is pretty nice. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the quality and pricing of the public courses in the area. I think we are very spoiled, and we can play ~ 9.5 months a year.
Check out Stonebridge GC's players pass as well. http://www.golfstonebridgeutah.com/golf/player-s-pass
Makes good golf very affordable. The men's league out there is a lot of fun too. That's where I play the majority of my rounds.

Wingpointe
Hobble Creek
Old Mill
South Mountain
Wasatch Mountain Lake Course
Mountain Dell
Soldier Hollow (not necessarily favorite layout, but it's a beautiful area and the courses are high quality)
Talons Cove
Been wanting to play Thanksgiving point as well, as I hear it's a pretty nice course.
Anyway, that's a good start!

Thanks for all the input! Will definitely message you when we get to town.

Yeah it's an incredible deal. The Ridge (sister course, included in pass) is fun but not quite the same caliber as Stonebridge. It's nice having 27 holes plus another 18 that you have access to though. You can get on anytime and Stonebridge is really only 20 minutes from where you'll be in Midvale.
Pretty much all the public courses in the area are ~ $30 to walk and usually in very good condition. Like I said, we're spoiled!
And yeah shoot me a PM when you guys get here and we can figure out a time to play. Enjoy the rest of summer up in NS!

My favorite courses are Birch Creek, Hobble Creek, Sand Hollow, Talon's Cove, Sunbrook, & Sky Mountain, but I have an affinity for the old style muni's like Rose Park as well. Sadly, the City wants to close many of them.

I, too, use River Oaks golf facility to practice. Good place and friendly people.

Courses are priced well in Salt Lake County and if you have any time during the week there are some decent deals in the Utah PGA Pass Book. Can't beat the public tracks in Heber and Midway but those are a bit of a drive (around an hour +). There are some fun courses on Golfnow and Teeoff.com, as well as going to ksl.com/deals to find some.

I like to hear that. With having so few courses to choose from here in NS within the city etc.. they always get crazy backed up on weekends etc.

I'm also LH in SLC and it's tough to find a decent selection. Haven't checked out Golf the Round but Uinta is prob. your best choice.

The guys in the pro shop are awesome, some of the nicest I've met. Don't know any of them personally but they have always been accommodating when I go in.

I think you mean Roger Dunn, formerly knows as Edwin Watts, formerly known as Uinta Golf. Seriously though, the Uinta near me in Orem is still signed as Edwin Watts Uinta Golf.

I am usually playing Stonebridge either Thursday or Friday most weeks, so if you're interested in heading out that way I'm usually in need of a playing partner!

Wanted to get out to that course, so it'll be good to have some local knowledge. Just don't kick my a** too bad LOL. Hopefully the car is here in the next few days! I hate, HATE being immobile.

Just shoot me a PM if you want to play. I'm going to try to get out Thursday mid morning next week if you wanna join. I'm in school-mode now, so the practice schedule and resulting level of play is nothing to brag about.... It's always fun to get out though, and I've never played with a WRX'er, so it should be a good time!

In general, you can play till thanksgiving at least, often into early December. Then throughout the winter it's touch and go, wait and see. Sometimes you can sneak a cold round in at the airport, or Tooele or Saratoga mid winter. On occasion I have driven to Delta or Wendover to get a round. Then it's St. George for the weekend and back.

I'll be in town (salt lake city) for business the week of August 3-7.
Would anyone be interested in playing Friday morning, August 7?
I might play wingpointe, since I'll likely fly out from the airport Friday early afternoon
Any other suggestions?
