Murray Parkway Golf Course
Played On 08/05/2014Have fun
Murray Parkway is a course that grows on you. Conditions are some of the best in the Salt Lake Area.
Over the years the staff worked hard on firming up the greens and making them responsive and smooth. The PGA staff is friendly and works to make the visit positive. Most of the time playing the round goes quick, but count on two and a half hours to play 9, four and a half to five hours for 18. During the hot summer hours you can play under four hours for 18 because golfers are staying out of the heat.
In my opinion, holes 2 and 8 are the hardest on the front nine. Holes 11 and 17 the hardest on the back, mostly because of wind. Water can Indirectly come into play on holes 1, 2, 6, 8, and 9.
Play the correct tees and a player can have fun, score okay and leave feeling like they want to come back.
The practice greens and driving range are average or above average for a public course.
Is Parkway perfect, no, but it's gender friendly and welcomes all golfers. I would suggest you get to know the staff for a more enjoyable experience. PGA John P. is a very good teacher and can help you out with your game. Men's and Woman's Club has a large following.
The food is not as good as when the City of Murray ran concessions, but it is better than most of SLC's nine public courses.
So enjoy and have fun.
