Salt Lake City muni/daily fee/private course advise sought..

[ramsey_steve]

I have a house in the Salt Lake City area (Holladay) that’s rented out year round, but which has a seperate apartment that we keep vacant for when we come out to ski.. We’re hoping to spend time there this summer, and would like to A) get some recommendations for muni/daily fee courses, and B) get some information about private golf clubs in the area – Some private clubs allow long distance – part-time memberships, which might be something I’d look into.

An absolute must is Thanksgiving Pointe in Lehi. Johnny Miller designed it a few years back and from the tips I think it's like 7700 or something. Jack said that when it becomes mature it could easily host a major. Amazing course (~$60.00).

 

Wasatch Mountain State Park up in Midway (45 minutes east of SLC)is one of the best values in golf. It's in a State Park so fees are subsidized. I think like $25-$30. Play both the Mountain and the Lake Course. Do not try walking the Mountain. Another course in this area just opened last summer - Soldier Hollow. It was listed in the top 10 new pub courses in either Golf Digest or Golf Mag.

 

Riverside Country Club in Provo is very nice - don't know about long distance membership and what not. BYU Golf team practices there.

 

Hobble Creek in Springville is stunning. $25.00 or so. Nestled in a forested valley.

 

I know there are several other prime courses in this area, but these are the courses I frequented when I lived down there.
