Canyons Golf Course
Played On 06/25/2017A burgeoning must-play
The staff was wonderful, first of all, and accommodating since I was on a road trip and passing through and wanted to get a round in here.
The course has come a long way from its beginnings and, based on talking to locals, has improved each season. Very playable, great up and down challenges and incredibly picturesque. Fairways were groomed consistently, some of the cart paths are gravel and the wayfinding is curious in a few spots. Greens had a good roll and were cut well given that there is still snow not too much higher up in places.
It's a difficult place to put a course and, given the Canyons ski resort, golf will obviously always be second fiddle. As such, there is a parking lot shuttle to the golf shop. They had a starter on the first tee box and the conversation and course guidance was sound. Club selection is always a challenge on these mountain courses, not just because of the elevation period, but the vertical elevation changes on some holes (#10 is a fun bombs away hole--be sure to play it from the back tee!) Quite a bit of character with these holes.
Overall, it offered decent value in my mind, especially if you're a sea level golfer. Take in the beauty of this course, the hospitality and enjoy the experience. It was refreshing to have had so much FUN on a golf course.
