Anyone play Sand Hollow in UT?


Recommended Posts

Played it a few times and it is excellent. The back 9 along the cliffs in special. Front 9 is definitely flatter and more scoreable but has some nice holes as well. Out of all the courses in the area (including Mesquite), is it the one that I could see myself playing day in and day out.

 

If you are in the area for a few days and able to make the drive, I recommend hitting up Wolf Creek in Mesquite. Definitely one of the most picturesque and visually stunning courses anywhere. Id you are confined to St. George and looking for another round, Coral Canyon is very nice as well.

Thanks for the replies. Will be flying into Vegas and staying in St. George one night and most likely headed back to Vegas. May try to squeeze another round in at Wolf Creek if I can.

Wow. Thanks for posting your pics. Pretty pumped to be playing this course. How is the wind? I’ve heard it pretty much stays windy in the area.

Is Sand Hollow walkable (reasonably)? Or would you recommend a cart.?

 

Dude, look those at those pictures. Take a good look. Does that course look like it is walkable? Sure, any course can be walked, but does this even remotely look like a course that you would want to walk.

 

Is this some kind of comedy?

 

Having played it I would say that about 2/3's of the course actually is.... but 1/3 would be rough for sure.

Yep, front nine is relatively level, although downhill on one and back up on nine (and 18). Outside of the canyons holes on the back (12,13,14?), it’s fairly flat also unitl you end back up to the clubhouse on 18. It does seem like there are a few pretty good hikes between a few greens and the next tee.

 

I would think it would be walkable, but fairly strenuous in places. I would t want to (although I don’t want to walk any course).

Thanks for your pithy comment. Obviously any course can we walked, that is why I included resononably.. i have walked many mountain courses that were actually not too strenuous, so thought I would inquire.

I have not played Sand Hollow but I can tell you that the architect on the ground who did most of the work (Andy Staples) has done some really fantastic work other places and is an up and coming name in the gca industry.

I think your top 3 are Sand Hollow, Entrada(public but can play if you stay at the hotel), Coral Canyon (good layout but conditions can be roughish)

 

The next best courses are 45 minutes away in Mesquite

 

 

after that you have some options.

 

Sunbrook has a better 9 and two not as great 9's

Ledges- best green's usually but front 9 is uneventful, back 9 is top notch

sky mountain- has 4 really good finishing holes and some bad/ok mixed in for the other 14. usually affordable

Sun River- I am hearing has been revamped and in good shape now.

I only played sand hollow in that area, but if you want an unforgettable experience drive 45 minutes to wolf creek in Mesquite. Plenty on here that love it and plenty who hate it but it is an experience you won’t forget. It is golden tee come to life!

 

It is an experience worth experiencing at least once!
