About
One attraction popular with summer vacationers is tee times at Park City Golf Course. This iconic landmark opened in 1962 as a 9-hole course but was later redesigned into an 18-hole course by William Neff. In 2003, the designer's son, William Neff Jr., redesigned the 18th hole.
The Park City Municipal Golf Course is a challenging and beautiful mountain-style facility. It features rolling terrain with trees that add to the difficulty and grandeur of the game.
The course is 6,700 feet long and features undulating greens with bent grass. The fairways are blue and ryegrass and tree-lined. While there are challenging holes here, most are suitable for beginners, making the course ideal for all skill levels. Its proximity to restaurants like Yuki Yami Sushi makes grabbing a bite after a round easy.
When booking your tee time, remember a few keys. The 9-hole course is only reserved after 3 p.m. each day, while reservations prior will be for the 18-hole course. They also rent clubs and carts and have a driving range.
With reasonable rates, an inspiring course, and Utah's beautiful mountains as a backdrop, you owe it to yourself to play a round at Park City Golf Course.
Park City Golf Course: Fun Facts & Cool Features
One reason for the facility's popularity is that it is a municipal course open to the public. While you won't be contending with a country club vibe, there is a dress code. Players must wear golf attire with no visible cut-off shorts, tank tops, or bathing suits. Also, note that golfers may not wear metal spikes on the course.
Cool features at the course include the clubhouse and an entire banquet facility. These are idyllic for parties or celebrations and can be rented on a first-come, first-served basis.
You'll enjoy playing at a higher elevation. You'll drive the ball further than sea level because the air is thinner at such elevations. Unfortunately, this phenomenon is a moot point when putting. That's all on you!
A cool feature is that the course is close to other landmarks like the Utah Olympic Park. Such convenience allows you to combine a game of golf with visiting this outdoor wonderland. The options are limitless in Park City!
A marvelous feature is that Park City Golf Course is committed to sustainability. It employs eco-friendly practices to preserve the natural beauty and minimize environmental impact. During winter, the course transforms into a playground for cross-country skiers and hikers.
As mentioned, the driving range and a putting green are available to fine-tune your game. For those interested in lessons, a golf academy can be booked in advance, and private lessons are also available.
Playing a round at Park City Golf Course offers a challenging game suitable for all abilities and ages, making it a must-do when vacationing in Utah.
